			<title>and there was silence.</title>
			<description>The water burned as it streamed down over me, leaving red trails of enflamed flesh down my back and shoulders and over my breasts. I closed my eyes tightly, trying to shut out the realities I had heard over the phone. Turning my face into the water, I opened my mouth, letting the water fill up and..</description>

			<title>and my shoulders hurt with the guilt.</title>
			<description>Dredging up the past of black and white and faded photographs, the organ music sounding softly in the background, calling up the unbidden emotions that had been buried away.

			<title>my night life.</title>
			<description>If I could stop the sun from rising each morning it would be the greatest triumph of my downtrodden life. To walk within the day, I cower and hide within the shadows.

			<title>saved by the blood of sam.</title>
			<description>Sam is a true love that never existed except in her little seven-year-old mind. He had a kickass voice, and yeah, she knew that word. Her older brother said it all the time.
