Dan flicked blood off of his thumb and pressed it down hard against the leathery exterior of the cover. Until it stopped, and Lyn could take her eyes off of him. “Only have … Read moreGuildmaster’s Guidance (Part 5, Lyn)
Your whole life you were misdiagnosed as colour blind, when in reality you could see colours no-one else could. You see art differently, the sunset and sunrise differently. A rainbow to you is out of this world. One day you go to visit the Mona Lisa.
