You were just a baby, but they knew that there was a power within you.” “The power to change the world around me with a simple thought. The ...In The Walls Part 2: Endless Darkness
Read Part 1 here. He’s not moving- but he is. Matt is running on an endless track; there’s no stopping, no looking back because there’s nothing to see.
