The Unfanged Ones
To whoever finds this, I am going to tell you a story about people like me. You probably don’t want to hear it right now but maybe one day you will be able to look back and know that how my people and I were treated was unjust and barbaric. I don’t know who you are and how far into the future you are reading this. I don’t know if your opinion of my kind differs much from the opinion held by society at the time of writing this. I don’t even know if you will know much about the history of mankind and my kind. To ensure that you have an understanding about why I am writing this and why I am going to do what I am about to do I need to start from the beginning.

Stay Awake
“See you later, Dee.” Delilah’s friends hummed the farewell in unison like zombies. Some were stifling giggles and others could barely move their mouths. She had already made it halfway down the stairs before the door slammed behind her and the usually damp corridor was a welcome breath of fresh air compared to the stale and smoky space she had just escaped from.

My Quarantine Journey: A Playlist
The world is an exceptionally odd place to be right now and an apocalyptic, Orwellian atmosphere has descended upon us. Even in the darkest of times music can be a therapeutic form of self expression for many, so I am going to take you on a musical journey through my lockdown experience so far.

Horror Review: Wounds
Wounds was released in Autumn last year and follows an excruciatingly unlikable bartender as he gets enthralled in a disturbing mystery that begins to unfold when he takes home a mobile phone left in the bar that he works at. The hour and 30 minute movie was directed by Babak Anvari and stars Armie Hammer, Zazie Beetz and Dakota Johnson as the main cast members whose characters are involved in a weak love triangle.

Bigger, Badder, Meaner: Halloween Kills
When 2018's Halloween reboot was first announced it was met with scepticism by fans and critics alike. The Halloween franchise is so popular and the first movie so iconic that it seemed impossible to be able to reboot the story in any way that would do the franchise justice. It seemed like the project would just damage Halloween like some of the more questionable later sequels.

Survivor
Women are fighters. Today women are fighters and historically we have been fighters because we have had to be. Women of today don't have to fight for the same rights and freedoms that women before us did because of the inspirational and innovative actions of the brave women of history.
