Planet Eater



A cool breeze resonates upon my brow as a gust of spirits disguised as the wind bless me with cool from the heat upon my balcony.

Eleven foot silk drapes dance to the "wind spirit's" rhythmic ensemble and adds a reverence filled with majesty.

I am looked upon as many unpleasantries for I take what pleases me. Untouchable, irresistible, indomitable, irreplaceable, and undeniably free.
