Inside an Angel

This is based on a character called Clayra Ironblood, who I will probably be putting up more about, maybe a short story, and another character called Roman Laurence, who there will also be more about.

I remember

the first time

I saw her...

Her nails were

cracked and dirty

but her hands

were beautiful

and her ratty

bleach blonde hair

covered

an angelic face.

She was hunched up

under a giant jumper;

and she looked

half dead.

But when I reached out a hand to her

she smiled.

And it was like

the sun had finally come out.
