Found the perfect spot to set up the tent.
The result worth the hard work and time spent. As sun sets, you smell something old and damp. While shadows pass the light from the oil lamp. Possible wild animal may be near. Grab a rifle and flashlight from the gear. Shine the light all around and search the camp. While shadows pass the light from the oil lamp. For the night, group about too retire. Then see the fangs of hungry vampire. Guns go off, have no effect on the vamp. While shadows pass the light from the oil lamp. body of the universe electricBody of the universe electric
Remnants of the big bang exploding seed Hidden molecules of creation freed Size and energy of launch historic Stars are the eyes within eyes geometric Cosmos original heart, rest generic Arteries and veins of galaxies bleed Remnants of the big bang exploding seed Arms and legs spiral on isometric All parts move outward at tremendous speed Fingers of motion continually feed Skin held on by threads of dark matter fabric Body of the universe electric |
