Killin time, killin spaces
on this planet I know I'm outta place
I'm over feeling wasted
I never seem to catch the things I chase
time to make some changes
the cool kids ain't worth our time tonight
I feel like breakin - Human, Ghost Town.

In other news, pop punk band Fall Out Boy will not be able to play again for sometime. Following their bassist being investigated by the FBI for suspected murder, the lead singer, Patrick Stump, has disappeared. We wonder if this links to the murders.

My ears pricked up like a dog. Patrick? No, he wouldn't get involved. He's too smart, let alone innocent.

Through twisting allies and sneaking through backyards, I somehow managed to lose them. I sank against a wall and hugged my knees into my chest. Had... To... Catch... My... Breath.

About ten minutes later, I stood back up and made my way to Patrick's house, my fringe and hoodie protecting my identity. This was one day I didn't want to be recognised.
