Judah C

His malaise memories feel like blistering bugs crawling on his skin. Yet, not one manages to come in. Left inside, his rotting brain is only thoughts slowly, slowly draining him away.

She didn’t want to be here. A sentiment she displayed with an annoyed expression which her mother always compared to a phone submerged in water because much like a phone screen her face was frozen. The comparison was far off. Her annoyed expression wasn’t permanent, she did feel other emotions. They just seemed to never appear with this family or this town for that matter.  As she walked, anyone who caught a glance of her found themselves quickly scuttling away in fear of becoming entwined with the dark vibes she emitted.
