"The Marionettes danced in the field, not knowing how to feel or move on their own. Dancing as the world pulled their strings. Until one Marionette's strings broke.

Awash with feelings, the first was like a eulcid. A ever higher burning fire called love.

End of the Year

As this year begins to grind to a halt I'm starting to realize something. Every year seems like it's the most important year in a person's life. I'm just trying to say, what is the most important year or day for a person? I bet if you really think about it, you have defining moments and events in your life every year. But can you really define the most important day in your life so far. I bet you can't.
