Whoops, totally forgot to put this chapter into the journal! Eh heh...

I felt that Samuel Jones wasn't getting enough love lately, as most of my attention (read: all) was going towards either Esme or Arafel.

I ammended this!

( Those delicate, elusive creatures that haunt our dreams and consume our minds; that redirect our inner drive and force us to change our ways... Women, those hellish beasts that they are. )

I apologize profusely! It's been quite a while since I've updated with a story. I have no excuse- I moved into our new home a while ago and got sucked into My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic when I could've been workin' on a photostory. XD

Initially, I wanted to do a summary kinda story to explain the long absence, but when I started takin' pics, Arafel and Melbourne kind of took over... So, it's one of the more dramatic of stories.

Warning: The end of the story has possibly trigger-sensitive material of self mutilation. There will be a red star to mark it, so you can enjoy most of the story without having to look at the pics. They aren't graphic, but I'm placing a warning just in case.

(  A life free of lies and a meaningful relationship. He keeps his hands pinned down at his sides. He waits for it to end and for the aching in his guts to subside. Brand New - Sic Transit Gloria...Glory Fades )
