Today’s story is our last for a while, and it has us looking at an artist and her work, how she sinks her entire life into her paintings. She saw the beauty in every little thing, and she exuded a light that not many others in the world could even comprehend. But this light made her protective, it made her draw inwards. But her aura, her spirit, it needed sustenance. Care needs to be taken when working with such a person, she had her rules, and rarely broke them – but a persuasive circumstance forced her to break her biggest rule, and in turn feed her light for a while longer.

This week’s story touches on the subject of trust, those who are trustworthy, and those who put on the mask of trust. Be careful with whom you share your secrets and interests, even if you crave the company of another. Today, we follow our shutterbug, a curious and creative young man with a penchant for photography who loved to shoot his favorite subject – a single, lone dead ash tree. Sit and listen, though I must warn you that this particular story deals with some potentially triggering material.

Hello again. Today we are exploring how secrets and passion can hurt the ones we love, and in turn, ourselves. Our story follows a man with such an ailment. His passion runs as red as blood, and his secrets run deep to his core, which comprises a perfect storm of chaos. Chaos that has an unquenchable thirst. Chaos that reigns in the eyes of a man and his lover.

We all know of lover’s quarrels, but what happens when that spirals out of control? What happens when a man with secrets and passion gets hurt? I can’t wait to find out.
