Vironika Tugaleva
“They hit me raw, hard, real,
the words you say (and don't)
as I leave to catch my flight.

But in real life airports,
no one is chasing anyone
to ask for a longer story.

And on real life airplanes,
it is too loud for anyone
to hear anyone else cry.”
Vironika Tugaleva

“A wave hit Tess. A wave that had formed early this morning and waited patiently as she competed before it crashed back down on her now.”
Kelly Waters, Lithium & Let's Plays
