Center, a woman seen from back, stands with hands clasped behind her back. Her face is turned so her right profile is visible. She has long hair, curled at the ends, and she wears a hooded dress coat. Her entire form appears silvery. Before her is a neon pink cloud. A glittering streak of light shoots directly up from the cloud, appearing from the top of the woman\u2019s head. Dark hazy clouds rise from the background, and above, the hints of a starry sky. Watermark of \u201cStoryfeather\u201d along left side of coat. ","author_name":"Storyfeather","author_url":"http:\/\/storyfeather.libsyn.com\/site","html":"
