Angels Never Cry - Song Story (Redux) - May 16th

[jantojones.livejournal.com]

My song story isn't quite finished yet. Hopefully I'll be posting it tomorrow. In the meantime, click the pic to go to a story I wrote quite some time ago, which was based on one of the song prompts.

Think of the faces of the people you defend
And promise me, they will never see, the tears within our eyes
Although we are men, with mortal sins
Angels never cry.

-from the song 'Winterborn' by The Cruxshadows.
