XV-I:
Here there was a forest
Now there’s a broken man…

XV:
In a city of absent emotion
I woke up…

Elliot
Canto XIV:
A quick sleight of hand
Sly shopkeep indeed…

Elliot
Canto XIII:
“How can I help?”
He asks with a smile
The dust on his wares
Has been there for a while…

Elliot
Canto XII:
Empty street
No people…

Elliot
Canto XI
I see her
In the light of the fire…

Elliot
Canto X
Smoke drifts through the neighborhood
I climb the particles…

Elliot
Canto IX:
The world is the same
As the world I once knew…

Elliot
Canto VIII:
I pull on the door
And find it unlocked
A hallway of roses
Is waiting beyond…

Elliot
Canto VII:
Cushioned landing
Cage in the dark
Terrors of night
Want to tear me apart…
