Wasteland

He is lost for words on a barren subject. The wasteland of infinite failing opportunities, writhing inside of his blank mind. Likewise, his ability to express has been handicapped by the alloy ring that stands above all. On the other hand, he makes do with what he has, slowly pressuring through this bleak canvas of a task.
