John Taverner - Kyrie Leroy

A quiet death. Slow, numb, voiceless. Crumbled stone, mangled steel, and splintered wood, scattered among shards of shattered glass, lay haphazardly strewn over the earth, stretching towards the horizon, only to diminish away into nothing. The last cries of a tragic end had long since faded away, nothing more than a feeble whisper in its last breaths. The days for many had ended, but the shadows of the past still remained, and would continue to do so for aeons to come, telling their stories, silently, to deaf ears.

Of countless souls, only one did tread upon that littered piece of land. Bits of still mildly fresh debris crunched beneath the weight of heavily booted feet, whose steps carried tentatively down what remained of one of this settlement’s roads, bringing the only soul to walk—the only soul that continued to remain some semblance of alive, though perverse as it was—into its depths.

So I'm maybe alive again. ._.; I have no idea, really. I should be going to bed, though, instead of typing this, but I'm going to write it anyway. The piece I just shared with you (Happy, isn't it?0 is something I wrote awhile ago, and haven't been able to continue further as I slip deeper and deeper into this terrible slump that has begun to overcome even the more intricate parts of my vocabulary.

That's not epecially important to this post, however. A lot of things have happened since my last disappearance. I lost the general ability to draw for awhile--I'm slowly working that back up--while my computer made several attempts to turn belly-up under the water on me. My grandfather died in January (details are still posted on my devART: http://kaidona.deviantart.com as the latest entry, because I am lazy as hell), and I got another job, only to be fired three weeks later because no one was training me.

Illnesses have come and gone, and motivation has been pretty much zilch. I'm not sure why, what with all the inspiration roiling about my thoughts, but it's put a major damper on things. I've recently begun to push myself back into the game, however, and if things go well, I ought to be putting something up relatively soon.
