'Subjective' by call-me-crimson

<sub>The Suggestor said: This piece of writing strikes me as both
cold and beautiful, which is common of call-me-crimson's

It's quite a sight to see.
It pumps blood right up through my lungs
Then round the rest of me.
I am quite fond of it, oh yes.
The reason is quite plain.
For if it should stop working
I would feel a lot of pain.

I checked to see if x was under the bed, perhaps hidden among old school notes and forgotten art projects and lonely orphan socks. I scoured the closet, checking in every pocket of every innumerable pair of jeans, which, trust me, is no mean feat. I screened for x in every drawer of every dresser in every room, but it was all to no avail.
I proceeded to flip through all of the books that have stubbornly accumulated by the side of my bed, all of those novels unread and read and reread. Thousands upon thousands of dog-eared pages were turned once again, the worn out words flying by to form nonsensical stop-motion sentences, but it was all for naught. In all of those tens of thousands of pages, the x that I was looking for was nowhere to be
"On the Subject of Finding X" by ToXTheXMorgueX

<sub>This short piece takes a common phrase
from school and creates a philosophical study
out of it. The structure of the piece is clever,
using lists to wind the reader to the
conclusion of the piece.
