What do you do when hope dies?

Ira sat down on the storm-torn ground beside me. I didn’t look up from my contemplation of the gravestone before me, huddling deeper into my cardigan. A moment later, his leather-clad arm landed across my shoulders and drew me against him. 

“It wasn’t your fault,” he whispered, his voice a comforting rasp in my ear. “What happened. It wasn’t because of you.

Send “It’s you. You keep appearing in my nightmares.” for my muses reaction.

Tips: Muses not necessarily has to know each other. You muse can stop in their tracks, after recognising a stranger in the street.

Also, my muse can be not only the one haunting yours in the nightmares, but also the one saving them from the horrors of the dream. Or maybe they are just a figure who appears in every dream, but only observes your muse? Or maybe your muse’s nightmares involve someone hurting my muse?

Explore the possibilities.

25, 34 for the weird asks

25. Um, wow. I’m not quite sure. I grew up listening to Pink Floyd, Queensryche, Styx, Def Leopard, Fleetwood Mac, Beetles, and more 70′s and 80′s. So I guess pick from there. 

34. Hot Pockets! Chicken Parmie tastes so good (Nationwide commercial).
