  myninjaplease — Authority: 135
  Shedding One’s Skin Acrylic by Allen Vandever This strange being convulses violently until her release, but once in the air of the world outside its shell, it writhes and shrinks from the sun too hot mercilessly scorching its translucent skin, too bright for the pupils in their first exposure to its rays.
