The Concrete World
THE HIVEMIND: The outside world was unknown to her, but she could see a glimpse of it through the window in his room. The Watcher was the only person in Milgrid's Faculty of Felony Reform that had access to a real window. Inmates were not allowed windows in their cells. If she closed her eyes and scanned through the thoughts of the many, she could see the glass pane behind corrugated iron bars, and the gentle glimmer of an Alice blue sky in the far distance. It let her know that a world existed beyond the hivemind. Something other than the concrete world of Milgrid. Grimy, gritty and guange. With guards in black livery, armed with jointed truncheons pacing the corridors. A space of minimalistic architecture, and dreary grey walls that reminded her of forgotten, dog-eared photographs. A place for those left behind to dust and ash.

The First Truth - On Songs of Sirens / On Brocken Anatomical Hearts and Raging Hellfire My thoughts are made of Sun, My bones are made of Moonshine, My magnum opus is my Heart Soul But my Heart is withered, rotten like the Apple's Core. I lost Love to Lilith's lullabies, She clipped my feathered Wings and Left me a Silent Dove And in that Drudgery i forgot the World is my Haven A place to drink Salvation in an apocalyptic Void Where Misery is drowned in Melodies And i can sing through a Brocken Anatomical Heart, a Song of Sirens, of Secrets Serenity

They say the Lambs are Fleetingly Gorgeous
Appetizer - A Guest in the Night Photography: Cabin In The Forest by Paul Itkin, 2016. The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. Odette watched from the patio. The distant candlelight reflected in the irises of her mauve eyes. The cabin adjacent from their quant little house had always been lonely. Creaking, shuddering, and groaning to itself in the cold. But now, the delicate curtains flailed to reveal the outline of a man. Watching her watching him.

Blue Velveteen Runner-Up in Return of the Night Owl Challenge
An Introduction — The Boy in the Mirror I often wonder about the word Masculinity. Even on the tip of my tongue it feels like an illusion. Sometimes I will utter the word out loud, the vibration of each letter passing my vocal cords with audible friction, and yet the sound seems to disappear into thin air.

10 Sci-fi Films to Watch if you Liked Dune
In his 2021 science fiction film Dune, Denis Villeneuve welcomes audiences to his version of the planet Arrakis—an inhospitable and sparsely populated desert wasteland. Set in the distant future amidst a feudal interstellar society, Dune is the first of a planned two-part adaptation of Frank Herbert's identically coined 1965 novel.

Do not Look at the Moon
Dear reader, I fear you won't believe me if I told you how humanity had ended. How man truly ceased to be. The story just seems too profound, too fabricated—a tale of nightmares...something one can concoct only in the ghastliness of a disturbed consciousness.

White Wolf
We were two warm bodies, heat dulling in a cold diorama. A hurricane of grey snow prevailed around us, its icy fingertips persistent in its cruel attempt. My eyes fluttered before the veil of obscurity that seemed to demolish up the landscape from the skeletal, thistle trees of the forest and then above me to the juniper foliage. The girl wriggles beside me. Viridian eyes just visible through the mist. She has an infantile face, a veil of red hair like unreliable flames and an abundance of ornamental scars that adorn each cheek. There is something scarlet dripping from her mouth. Blood I think. The same vivacious pigment smeared on either hand that rests beside the remains of the rabbit. I feel a slight sense of malaise fill me as I notice the mangled body, its intestines strung across the moss in a mess like the turbulent emotions prevailing inside me. She always eats them when she’s nervous.

10 Comfort Films that will Boost your Serotonin
In light of COVID-19, our social environments have never felt more disrupted and alienating. With self-isolation, extended lockdowns and school, jobs and education shifting to a virtual format, it is not a stretch to say that 2020 & 2021 have been some difficult years. In that context, many of us may find ourselves debating what film to watch among the millions of movies currently streaming to pass the time and boost our spirits. Movies provide a window into a better time to come, a respite, or an escape from present adversity. They provide a sense of possibility, escapism and a portal into a world that’s become elusive.

Metaphors of Dawn
The world seemed to slowly awaken with the dawn. The first light of the sun on the horizon fell with romantic affection across her Grandmothers garden, shining its feverish warmth between the bodies of florae and shrubberies. Autumn leaves fluttered from the broadly spreading crowns of Japanese maple trees, creating a carpet of red foliage below. A single golden leaf danced in the breeze before settling delicately on the fishponds surface, casting ripples above the bodies of Koi’s.

5 Arthouse Films that are Deeply Philosophical
The film has ended, the credits roll, and you sit amongst the crowed utterly speechless. Your thoughts are left to drift in a void of wonder, as you ruminate on the beauty to which you have just borne witness.
