Intro piece

As I watched the amber lights flickering across the way,
Amidst the dilapidated buildings,
I found them terrifying, and at the same time,
I couldn't help but find them beautiful.

2 month and 12 days,
Since dark lights lit our space,
And stole you all,
Away from me.

Huddled under burlap sack,
as rain falls upon me pitter pat,
I shiver and shake,
a tremble at the silence.

I close my eyes,
and pray for sleep,
to come and take me places warm,
and safe.

In the morning I away,
To breakfast and friends,
What a strange dream,
A nightmare?

It's still beautiful even though it really isn't a chapter. I felt a child-like instinct awaken in me. You are awesome.

This is well done! I love the figurative language. You really painted a picture in my mind and I must say it was really beautiful. It was enjoyable to read and very cool. "Dark lights lit our space" was good. I can't wait to read more!

wonderful, really. i love the third stanza in it with the rhyming bit, but I love how unconventional it is as well. well done :)
