I hate Phillip because he left me. A cold wind tore through my thick, black cloak, sending a shiver along my spine. I let it worm its way into my heart, hoping it would kill the last remnants of love between us. Though the flames were too far to warm me, a gust of air … More I Hate Phillip
Hello Fellow Writers, After six years of blogging, I’ve come to a realization: I’m not doing it right. Oh, I suppose, I’m doing something right.
