stress dark color
Personally, I like a chocolate-covered sky. Dark, dark chocolate. People say it suits me. I do, however, try to enjoy every color I see - the whole spectrum. A billion or so flavors, none of them quite the same, and a sky to slowly suck on. It takes the edge off the stress. It helps me relax.

It's the machinations that wheel us there that aggravate, perplex, interest, and astound me. There are many things to think of. There is much story.
girl sweet wall
The scrawled words of practice stood magnificently on the wall by the stairs, jagged and childlike and sweet. They looked on as both the hidden Jew and the girl slept, hand to shoulder. They breathed. German and Jewish lungs.
kissing
How about a kiss, Saumensch?
fighting winning knows
But neither of us knows, because a fight's worth nothing if you know from the start that you're going to win it.
