It always rushes in the winter; the cold is never cold enough to freeze, but always cold enough to chill. I left half the ashes in the urn.

A Visual by ~youngtalent has a rather dreamlike feel to it, revealing photo after photo in a matryoshka-like fashion. The editing is fantastic, as well! As Written By Suggester ( Suggested by =medli20 and Featured by `ArtisnotanAccident )
