Demons live inside my head
Demons live inside my head And tell me what to do The order that they gave in time Was to dispose of you The demons living in my head They speak in tongues unknown They snuck inside my brain one day And made themselves at home The demons hiding in my head They have anContinue reading “Demons live inside my head”
Building a Story Ep2: Plot
Hello and welcome back to Imagination Mansion. In this blogpost I will be discussing plots and how I come up with them.
