    Knight to C6, it is how I had started almost every game of chess I had ever played.

    mentally possible to venture that far out beyond my breaking point. How did I let this happen? In every failed attempt at piecing myself back together. I could never quite figure out how to make the pieces fit the mould. I was utterly consumed in the tireless, endless struggle of moulding each piece to perfection before I dared to try piecing myself back together. Every word said to me out of spite clouded my mind, filled every inch of it like nicotine. my judgment grew hazy. I scrawled them out

    Lamassu are two very remarkable pieces in the history of artwork. The Lamassu is an enormous piece in weight as well as height. The Colossal Statue of King Tutankhamen is also an enormous piece, but instead, the height is the only thing that sets it apart from the Statue of King Tutankhamen. The height of both pieces is very intimidating because they are both taller in relation to people. With both pieces being this tall, the viewer is able to interact with the pieces more than the smaller ones. The
