Old Baggage [Day-2]
Hi! So let’s continue from where we left off in the last post. Back at the fair, moments before Mattie was mugged by that purple jacketed thief she was distracted or to be accurate zoned out thinking about his younger brother Angus.

Privacy vs National Security

Contempt
My face was never this heavy, My questions were never this simple, My dreams were never so vivid, change wasn’t a conflict But rather a comfort, My travel was arduous, Like it had always been, paper crumpled Flying into the bin, My waiting has been drifting- Fire!
