In the Plague of Tyrants

by Wood Archer

supported by

Dave Aftandilian Mystery-filled soundtracks for dreams and nightmares. I open my eyes, and immediately want to close them again as I witness death on every side. Yet where each person falls a quivering, blood-crystal flower shimmers to life; a return to the primal, generative essence we all bear inside. Bright shadows thread to the heavens from the flowers, like candle-flames of dream, visions flashing across them, lifting our souls into the profundity of night.
