DSCN2518Paleface swings down from the rooftops, scraping sky. His head a skull, all exposed teeth and sunken eyes. Paleface swings down, inky cape bringing the night down with. Pasleface swings down, his skull gleaming in the moonlight. See his skull and his large fists, and know what’s coming. Paleface swings down from the rooftops full of promises.

Paleface swings down further and further, ‘till he reaches the bottom.
