Chasing Shadows.
Mr.C.Watsa:”Yawar when you walk down a poorly lit road at night, sometimes you see shadows which look frightening. But if you keep on walking you come to the shadow and realise that it is only a light pole or something like that. The shadow looked frightening but the reality is something we with everyday.” Actual quote of teacher to pupil.

VOID!
Every desolation is filled with a Void
little do you realise being android
is a reality you want to avoid!
Beggers and Presidents
I saw Presidents begging, the tune was not appealing
so I hit the ceiling.
