Guilty. I recount my every failing
Tears flow, keening, wailing
For the loss of all that I hold precious
Words cannot convey my anguish
Heart broken, shattered into tiny pieces
Take the slender blade and slice it
Stay forever the exquisite pain
Lose forever the remembrance of my name
You write this dark stuff extremely well. I like this, though I suspect some will worry for your sanity. But they do mine as well, and we both know I am completely healthy mentally, right? Right Meg? Right?

Oh wow! Huge football fan here… and ‘real’ football too (soccer!)

I’m more a soccer fan because my son plays and we sometimes go to the professional games here. But I honestly barely watch TV. I do like live games of almost anything, esp hockey because of the fights. 😛

That’s excellent. The Philadelphia Union stadium is on the wrong side of the city from us, too far to be convenient … so we watch English football on the weekends!

Not the way to go, Meg. Dump it on the characters, write it out of the system!

This kind of was character driven. Although some of the characters are autobiographically inspired…
