He made it! Ok he didn’t get in the car so I had to walk him to DCU but I refuse to accept any criticism. All the @CTYI Zoology kids loved him. Thanks to @SpillzHinch for looking after him and to @AoifeMurphy01 for the fab photos. @DCU

I`ve seen things unlike anything else in. my universe earth is a scary place every street scattered with corpses, cities once great had rulers most corrupt whose guards will kill upon sight.

I hate my stupid house. on the website it called the house cosy, sweet and peaceful. Peaceful, maybe but In no way cosy. I decided I had to leave. I didn't pack anything, I wanted an entirely fresh start. I daydreamed of warm sand, crystal sea and graceful palm trees.
