CENTO Series episode 51

There's a haunting in this restaurant. They're playing a song.

Nothing fulfills as before, but before wasn't great.

Honestly, before, how low did I rate?

Was it you all along? Or was it another ruse? Was I a mark? Am I a rube?

A world away,

I’m left with what I lack.

I thought, what will a springtime in a dystopia be. Not the dystopia coming at springtime.

My Sexy OC's to Coolbeaniebabez

A while back, a fellow artist who I have supported through featuring, asked if they would like an image in their style and as I never take these chances to not create myself. I asked them if they would wait for me to create the character. I always planned to do multiple and let them choose. In a later newsletter edition we will see which is chosen if any. But I had fun, making these images of my OC's to be sexy:)
