Hubris, Now Hollowed
by Julie Leung
We laughed like lords and lunatics
Our schematics stretched before us
Conquerors mighty
I thought it all would be possible
When we walked in stride
Down imagined streets of our making
We proclaimed ourselves endless
In this ravaging decline
Our empire gutted
I think on my sins
Of hubris
Now hollowed

Beautiful. Describes a current Forum discussion on Fictionaut. Fave*
What did you think of my last story?
"We proclaimed ourselves endless"
The glory and wealth of youth (those moments *are* great).
Special lines:
"In this ravaging decline
Our empire gutted
I think on my sins"
Enjoyed the read.
