Cyrus’ Trip to a Strange London

Cyrus’ Trip to a Strange London

Cyrus Darkmore came to London to find her, and this small man keeps telling him something about a stupid number. "Sir, if you want to contact her, I need a number," he explains, holding a newspaper dated from yesterday, May 1st, 2000. "How dare you speak of her like she's just a number? She has a name, Sierra." Anger shows in his tone, but he pronounces "Sierra" as if the name reminds him of both sorrow and love. The man behind the counter looks startled. "I'm sorry, sir, but I need more than a name.

Where to Find Study Tips on Youtube

I love studytube. Most of my watch history is made up of pretty notebooks filled with cute notes about efficiency and productivity; I am that type of girl. Always been, always will be (I hope so). Many of us have been struggling with motivation, time organization, and all that jazz ever since the big ‘rona hit us all. These channels have helped me reorganize my study techniques and survive the hell that is online school, and I hope they can help you too!

Collection of Poems for February

Someday this Will End A crown of lotus we share together. Nothing but our dreams dripping, dropping on each other. Hares whisper, "Wake up, my children."  We sigh, "Let us wander in sleep till night ends."

Eyes open all wide, Mumbling my resolve tonight, I wish for my fears to hide. Hands yearning for warmth, Crying over lies untold, I move…
