:thumb182669591:    Crush the Smoke                                  Crush the Smoke
Immobilised, she cannot figure out her whereabouts and her eyes are rendered inoperative as a blindfold wraps tightly around the girl's head. Fear grips and tears pour forth as solid steps reverberate in the background. A gruffish cough silences the air and preps the lass' ears for the following query:
"Do you believe in God?"
The bound girl begins crying and begging.
"I asked if you believe in God, bitch!"
A hesitant 'yes' finally escapes the sobbing.
Laughter emerges as the burly male approaches the tied female. The victim proned across a padded A-frame with her ankles and wrists individually strapped to sturdy supports. She feels his large hands on her waist as he pulls away her pants and undies, exposing her raised fanny to the chilled room.
"Think about that

i wanted to mention :iconrockmylife: in gratitude for her dedication in running four groups and keeping up so well white feelings by rockmylife

and my friend :iconultimamage578:  for being so awesome and featuring me :hug: :rose: he is a young man who writes amazingly well ~ to his credit:
I Live For                                       I Live For
The present is ongoing, never stopping
Enjoy the moment, if only for the moment
Everything is fleeting, passing, saying goodbyes
Only to apologize and say hi again
The morning turns into noon and evening
Just some lost time, I can't apologize
But baby I have those visions and dreams, I can't even resist
I live for hope
I live for the moment
I live for the evening
I live for another sunrise
I live for another sunset
I live for lightning bugs
I live for the present
Drunk with love, I cannot help but think
About the past, my history
I shake my head, thinking of blessings
My mind's on him, that show tomorrow
Fashion, moving forward, ahead
Still can't help but think
What about my past, my flops, my past romance
I live for romance
I live for fashion
I awesome work !


i only got half of them up ... until next time

:highfive: stay strong and inspired !!!

:iconwhiteroseplz: bets :)

LIGHT OF THE WORLD

name your price- ticket to paradise
i cant stay here anymore
i've looked high and low
i've been from shore to shore to shore
if theres a shortcut i'd have found it
but theres no easy way around it

light of the world
shine on me
love is the answer
shine on us all
set us free
love is the answer

who knows why
someday we all must die
we're all homeless boys and girls
and we are never heard
it's such a lonely world
people turn their heads and walk on by
tell me is it worth just another try?

are we alive?
or just a dying planet ?
what are the chances?
just open your heart with the answers

and when you feel afraid
:heart: love one another :heart:
when you've lost your way
:heart: love one another :heart:
when you're all alone
:heart: love one another :heart:
when you're far from home
:heart: love one another :heart:
when youre down and out
:heart: love one another :heart:
when your hopes run out

love
we got to love
we got to love one another

please light of the world
you got to shine on me
love is the answer
SHINE ON US ALL
set us free
love is the answer

UPDATE:


  to update and thank those who put in good thoughts, my sister's condition isn't as severe as had thought and will probably only need a stint.

She suffered a heart attack, apparently, during the bout with pneumonia. But her arteries are not as  bad as they had thought and will be able to be worked out using a stint.

Thank you so much :heart:
