achromatic
I Am Not. I feel colorless sometimes. I am not a magical thing, or a work of art for you to gawk at, I won't mask up, I won't color up my gray--- no, my achromatic feelings for you they are here, they are drained already, and when I finally can do something (that makes me feel fulfilled) to show a little bit of something like a different little hue, then I might be inclined to show you the side of me I only show to my mirror the achromatic light and dark shadows I drown in and also live in.

Exis & Satchel, soulmates
This story could not have ever been written without the interesting and dynamic characters of Ashton, whom I adore and I love very much! Satchel, Exis and Sloan are all the property (including backstory, features, personality, etc) of Ashton. If you liked this, you should check out more of his works, art and as such—the only thing I take credit for is the writing below. Thank you, and hope you enjoy!
