### Full Text

The cover depicts a photo-realistic eye looking down at text below it, which reads: "By: You". It has one line per page with a picture depiction for each.

"Sulfur and Snow: among smoke and snowfall, blood on their hands" It depicts two young women in silhouette, the taller one backlit by flames and holding trembling fistfuls of ash. The shorter one is holding one hand out, backlit by the pure-white brilliance of refracted firelight through ice.

"Sight and Stars: gazing at the sky, words that were never said" It depicts a pair of individuals laying on a hill next to each other. There's a stunning starscape above them. There's a drawing on the page that links some of the stars into a heart.

"Shop and Shards: feet in the water, reflections in their eyes" It depicts two individuals. One seems to be standing above a lake, only the tip of a toe touching its reflective surface. The other is standing at the edge of the lake. The figures are too small to make out any detail, but the figure at the edge of the lake has a porcelain mask flipped up.

"Steel and String: with no one else, alone together" It depicts a pair of men laid on their sides facing each other. They are both holding the other's face and side. There's a large metal spike that seems to have been driven through the pair's heart, binding them forever.

"Stone and Shape: masters of control, acting as one" It depicts a man's silhouette against the earth, his clasped hands inextricably linked to its mass. Behind the earth, a mass of flesh has consumed the sky.

"Shrine and Showman: pawns on a board, moving out of turn" It depicts a gaudily-dressed man bowing deeply to his only audience member, a woman kneeling before and submerging her arms in a fountain of pink water.

“Sanity and Suicide: at long last, meeting their end" It depicts a woman with a broken neck standing across from a boy laying in a hospital bed. Behind the boy, the background depicts a cacophony of suicidal ideations, while the woman's background is incoherent singing. The background of each leaks enough into the area of the other to pierce their chest

"Shield and Sound: in the face of death, hazardous once more" It depicts a man with square shoulders holding his hands together. From him, angular barriers sprout, shifting planes of energy given physical form. Interposed over his form is a slouching woman, from whom concentric circles radiate, intersecting with the order of the man's constructions.

"Shadow and Sparks: in an uneasy bedroom, lamenting youth" It depicts a blond boy and a boy with jet-black hair in the same bedroom you previously visited. They're playing the game present. They're both smiling genuine smiles; it's unfamiliar to both for different reasons.

"Space and Seeker: in an infinite shack, learning to forgive" It depicts two women in the confines of a shack in the center of the page. Despite that, it's clear there is something else around them. They're both considering a stopwatch that the younger woman of the two is holding. The older woman has closed her eyes.
