If this was real, then he would have died with the only successful thought of his life having been to realize that a person can easily please a crowd by calling themselves a pervert with the contrary implication of sensitivity and romanticism.
Hi everyone, this is Kalos’s brother. I still can’t believe I’m writing this, but Kalos passed away last night around 3 AM from a sudden heart attack. He had been complaining of chest pain all evening. I only found out he was active here a couple of weeks ago, but I know he
