Stain Glass Masquerade

  Nothing makes me lonelier than pasting on a smile and acting like everything’s fine when I’m falling apart. Of course, nothing’s worse than running into someone, asking how they are and twenty minutes later wondering what happened as they throw up drama all over you.

My first entry in an adventure I feel compelled to begin - I wish I could say what all this is about, but I’m not totally sure.
