A couple of friends and I were hangin' out one day and we found an Ouija board in one of their basements.

The Dutchman let out a terrible scream as the horse leapt toward him at a full gallop. He took to his heels, running as fast as he could, making for the bridge since he knew that ghosts and evil spirits did not care to cross running water. He stumbled suddenly and fell, rolling off the road into a melting patch of snow. The hea

只有付出的爱是痛苦的，但比这更痛苦是爱一个人却没有勇气让那人知道你的感情。
A sad thing in life is when you m

Cold here, icy cold there. You belong to neither, leaves have withered. Your face is pale and blue, a tearful smile. Something in your eyes, whispers words of last good-bye. My heart sinks down, tears surge out.
