Them
Broken ColorsSneaking into the house was easy. All that was needed was a small push on the broken window, and with the cold, cold wind two figures slipped into the room by ease. The scent of pure sorrow was the first thing they noticed: it was there, spinning and stumbling freely in the cool whiffs of air that had broken into the tiny, secluded premise.
