Ah…Nostalgia…
     This morning I was going through some of my old computer file archives, and I happened across a directory full of old writings from high school and college. Very funny - what a sap I was! ;) It's always cool to find things like that you had figured were lost forever. Of course, some of it would be better off having been lost for all time - an example of which I present to the world:

Ahem.

Away! Away my son!
By Jason Cross
Written 8/16/1995

Away! Away my son!
The night has fallen fast.
The final road is gone.
The ending thread’s gone past.
The darkness has won out
And has broken apart the light.
Away! Away my son!
To beyond the fallen sight.

Away! Away my son!
Surely divert thine eyes.
For the end is riding
And it will not heed our cries.
But even if it stops us
Forever shall not gain.
Away! Away my son!
For knowledge cannot be slain.


And there you have it.
