Alone I sit on the shores of the lake my people have inhabited for centuries... fading... fading away from what is to what was.

Thanks for the comments... it's always difficult to submit something that relies heavily upon shades with the differences in monitor calibrations. I can assure you it wouldn't look too dark at the printing press! lol

avatar p3_sv Author you're right, differences in monitors make the entry dark for some users. I see it dark too, but when I access the site from a different place dark entrys look better on a flat lcd monitor
