#12 Oil by Sowa Mai’s unofficial

“Whose Shore Will It Wash Up On? 1.1″ Solo Mornington with http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uG8JHSAVYT0 “Flock” Oberon Onmura May, 2010 The objects that are created exist very briefly, and spend their existence flying and flocking together in random groupings. They are very sensitive and die when they reach a sim border or when touched by an avatar. “Weeping Angel” Monroe Jigsaw “Save a life” Kicca Igaly A mother who kills her son. What happens in the mind of a woman to reach such a gesture, an act against nature, accomplished by who gives life, who should protect … Little angels, I wish I had big arms able to tighten all, to give you affection and tenderness that you were denied … “Falling Within” Glyph Graves
