It was a miserable room, smelling faintly of sweat and old cheese. The sheets were soiled and fleas were an inevitability. It was a small room, lacking a window or vent of any kind. Dank. Escape was was not an option, he would have to set up wards. It was a nasty 2nd option, but it would have to do. He set down his bags, closed the door and set to working. It would be an hour or two in doing, but it would keep him safe, and there were no second chances in the game of cat and mouse. </p> Tom opened the door to his room for the night and surveyed it for escape routes and vulnerabilities.

Reaching up to touch the morning sun, it stretches and stretches. Not enough. No matter how long it reaches, it is so far away. small, beautiful grass. you're perfect just the way you are.</p> the grass grows so beautifully.

The embittered ground releases its toxins upon the golden memories, breaking down its shimmer until nothing is left.</p> Buried beneath the soil of the present-day situation was a glorious past.

I understand that my hands are dirty, but for now they are just carriers of the stuff life grows in. Under my fingernails and in the whorls of my fingerprints, I would grow sunflowers. Flowerfingers they'd call me, or I'd call myself. I'm not sure I'd have friends to nickname me if I had live stuff on my hands.</p> There’s this thick dirt under my fingernails from gardening, but I’d mind more if it didn’t smell like the rich sun overhead.

I'm disappointed. I wanted a new one. That's no good. Maybe I did it after twelve... I can't remember. Darn repeats. I was looking forward to this today. There is always tomorrow. Oh yeah, soil.
