The clock strikes six and the sun begins to settle behind the valley. Darkness creeps upon my lonely home. I am no longer safe. Night-time once again serves to be ever so nerve wracking for me, never knowing what lurks among the unenlightened distance. Living out isolated in the middle of nowhere makes things even more stressful, especially not having a safe, warm, or secure place to stay.

Formerly blooming with splendid ideas and brilliance, now all I am is a useless, lonely
