The Last Scream
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Maskel was determined to test that theory. He had been testing it for nearly twenty years.

A Forever Promise
"M...Mara..?" She sat opposite him, grinning. Edmund sat up. He surveyed his surroundings, blinking in confusion. Where the hell was he? He was in a train carriage.

Whiteness
I recently watched a Tik Tok video where a young black woman made an asinine argument against perceived white privilege. She argued that many a minority group received special privileges; racial quotas for colleges or employment. The highlighting of a particular ethnicities business. Diversity categories in entertainment.

When Love Hurts.
As a person who took only a passing interest in the relationship of the Smith family, the whole 'August' debacle left little impression on me. I know the story; Jada slept with her son's friend, August Alsina, a rapper/singer and spoke about the affair on her podcast. The resulting confession left her husband, Will, looking somewhat foolish and emasculated.

Similarly, less than one percent of United States citizens consider themselves transgender, around two million people. A recent census found that nearly three percent of adults in the UK identified as lesbian or gay.

The Batman - review
The DCEU’s latest iteration of every comic book fans’ favourite orphan billionaire, turned caped vigilante, takes a different approach to the superhero genre.

It's Like That.
It was not as though we did not already know it. People - women - liked to pretend. Even lying to themselves that it does not matter. It all depends on where you are at in life.

Love of the Flies
Maurice took a deep breath. This was going to be an important meeting; a crucial meeting. He knew that there would be many voices that would oppose him. They would try and say he was being sensationalist, finding an issue where there wasn't one.

A Castle For Christmas - review (Netflix)
The more mature reader will remember Brooke Shields as a youngster. Her beauty graced a film, considered a bit of a scandal at the time; The Blue Lagoon.
