Reflection
And so we come to the end. And so we come to the beginning. This past year came with sky high highs and shockingly deep emotional lows that I don't want to delve too deeply into. But especially the second half of it was extremely rough on me personally. However, Vocal has asked that I do some reflection on 2023 and asked what my goals and aspirations for 2024 are. So let's do that.

The Day of ReturnTop Story - January 2024
The outside world was unknown to her, but she could see a glimpse of it through the window in his room. His name had been Oleg, a man from a different time and a different place with his name preserved on a gilded scrap of paper calling him a Bachelor of Arts, evidently something to be vaunted in the old world.

Interview With The Men In The Mirrors
Thoughts spun, just out of reach. A kaleidoscope of colours and sounds and feelings, drifting, swirling. One comes tantalizingly close, an idea just centimeters away from real, words and dialogue.

ReaperTop Story - December 2023

They Shall Not Grow Old
“In Flanders’ Fields, the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row,” -0- With a piercing shriek the whistle blew, the sound that haunted Sister Margret’s every moment. Waking or sleeping she could hear that deadly sound, and just behind it the screams. Roars of men thundering over the top, wails as bullets took them, cries of terror as their well-trained feet carried them forward, towards the only hope of survival.
