Running foreword, back, around, by, near, nowhere, to, from here, then there, infinitely. Why we looked back, I have no answer, there were none then, never. We danced a graceful blind dance with lies as our partners, following aimlessly through a cloud of yellow green haze. As they ripped away the blindfold we gazed dumbfounded at what we had created. The world looked down at the steaming magma that heated our skulls, burst, our hope. Nothing. The truth crushed us all with the force of a wooly mammoth, dismembering our souls one bone shattering piece at a time.

Moth
They say the world used to turn. They say that night would follow day in an endless dance. They say that dawn rose, dusk fell, and we worshiped both sun and stars. That was a long time ago. The dance has died. The world has fallen still. We float through the heavens, one half always in light, one half always in shadow. Like the moth of our forests, one wing white and the other black, we are torn. My people are the fortunate. We live in daylight, blessed in the warmth of the sun. Yet across the line, the others lurk in eternal night, afraid... and alone in the dark. I was born in the light. I was sent into darkness. This is my story.Complete![Blackout.

Imagine if you had to find out who you were, where you were, and what your purpose was, and then try to live a normal life, despite not even knowing your own name.

"We were Kings, us Wellfleet kids. We were at the very tip of the world and nothing could touch us. Starlight buzzed along our skin while fire gleamed in our eyes and the music pounded through our blood. It was a dream come to reality, it was fairyland achieved, and we were drunk on power and innocence and freedom."Complete
Beneath the Shadowlanders
We knew something wasn't right from the moment we awoke. It was like something was missing - a part of our very souls - and we couldn't sense the deficiency, no matter how hard we tried. A hundred million eyes adjusted to the dark all at once, all surprised to be awakened so soon. We ran through our checklists of limbs and senses, drawing ourselves out of our dreams piece by piece. Some went back to sleep, unaware, unbothered, too tired to notice the difference. Some lay in bed, too anxious to stand until the light of dawn crept through their windows at last, and they were sure the monsters in their closets had gone back to sleep. Some leapt from their slumbers, more keenly aware than others that the missing pieces were important. But we didn't know. We couldn't have. Not until we found ourselves standing in the light and discovered: We no longer had shadows.Complete
