    Smoldering

    The world paints their faces as happy clowns you proudly flaunt your smoldering frown chip on your shoulder and heart on your sleeve resentful and skeptical of everything you see steam out the ears when you’re getting so hot and if it’s your passion then you give it all you got but if it’s safe…

    It had almost been a year now since Fuchsia, the pink-haired mermaid had met The Captain. And she had never seen him again, since that one brief encounter. He made a promise to her that he would sail by these seas someday and at least wave hello, though he never did… Yet that did not…
