Stay in and keep warm
Come in and make me smile
Worry for the future later
Lay with me a while
Hold each other close
Promise to never let go
We both know it’s not true
Life is short, you know
Stay in and keep warm
Life is moving fast
Lets just continue to live
Like every moment
Is our last

"Everything is so... flat." Denille said stupidly as she looked around her new neighborhood. She looked around at the muted desert where even the smallest sign of life seemed to have given up. The plant life was shrubs that were half cooked by the heat and where there should have been a lawn, a mess of white rocks laid glistening in the sun. Even the sky looked stretched thin, like the sun had ironed it smooth. She’d moved from Riverside, where at least there were hills, but here in Barstow, everything felt baked and brittle.
