One planet. Two worlds. Long have the halves upheld segregation so that both the Kingdoms of Magic and the Civilizations of Man could thrive without each other. Nadine Hunt is a Mask who walks the line as one of the many agents of balance, but when her latest case calls her back to her hometown,…
Trailer Park Boys & The Worst Ending Ever
I just want to start by saying that if you don’t know the show ‘Trailer Park Boys’, you’re best off to skip this read. I was introduced to the franchise years back when someone married into the family smugly leaned over to me and saidhe knew of a show ‘I would just love’. When he…
The Ballad of Miracle Omega
Part I - Prototype My first memories are of an absolute state of confusion. The hundreds in attendance applauded wildly as my awareness blossomed into full-blown sentience before their eyes. Their efforts ensured that my mind was preloaded with all I needed to know about my situation. My state as a collection of harmonized senses…
Sum of One
This is a dream I had around April 2019 and most of what’s written down happened in fragments I filled in with some narrative to make it more coherent. What I remember most about this dream was how lucid it was, how everything felt so real, intense. Digging through my laptop I found this piece…
Post-Game +: The Spire Incident
What a wonderful time to have been born. Old enough to have seen the digital revolution roll over the timeline’s horizon but young enough to feast upon the ripest of its fruit. It took social media almost two decades to settle properly into the mortal lexicon. It was a given, taken for granted, and when…
Gamer Quest 2019
WARNING: GAMING RELATED RANT TO FOLLOW, PROBABLY NOT ENGLISH TO MOST Ok, so I’m reading specs of the next generation of consoles (PS5 and XBOX 2) and yeah great, same exponential increase in blah blah blah and yadda yadda yadda. Yep, I’m gonna be a sceptical asshole and scoff at everything until I play it…
Samhain
Have you ever looked this shit up? Millennia ago, they believed it was the time of year where the veil between worlds is most thin, and for that reason, a bunch of weird, archaic, mostly ridiculous rituals were born to take advantage of that idea. I can’t judge anyone if any age for wearing a…
Goodness Gracious
A dog story, start to finish, about a friend I had to say goodbye to yesterday.
The Time Sphere
If you know me at all, real life or not, you’ll understand that I have no choice but to be reminded of death pretty much on a daily basis due to my job. They’re passive thoughts at this point, after over a decade, but as time goes on, they seem to become somewhat more relevant…
Don’t Be Discouraged: A Belated Mother’s Day Story
So yeah, Mother’s Day has come and gone, but I see no better topic for this week’s entry, since my mom is an important pillar in the architecture of who I am. I was born when she was 19 back in 1979, and in 1980, well before the norm it was today, she was a…
