It happened so quickly that I’m unsure that it was real. One moment, I was walking down the cold streets of New York City. The sound of construction. The smell of hot dog water. Then, for just a moment, I felt sand give way under my feet. The warmth of the sun on my face. The sound of waves cashing in front of me, followed by the scent of salt water. For a moment, I felt like I was on the beach of some paradise. I just told myself to keep walking. That it was a glitch caused by stress.

Romance in the Sky
“Welcome aboard, this is our nonstop flight from London to JFK. If you look forward as our attendants go over the safety features of the aircraft while we get prepared for takeoff…” the voice of the captain over head started to trail off as Josh put his earbuds in. A frequent flyer, he had heard this time and time again. This was just a normal flight for him and he just wanted to zone out and get some rest as he makes his way home. After his week long vacation overseas, it was time to try and sleep. He knew that he most likely wouldn’t but it was worth a try.

With tousled chestnut hair and eyes that held an ever-curious glint, he bore the mark of a wanderer. Asher was not a native of any single dimension, but a voyager who possessed a rare and astounding ability—the power to traverse between realities through portals that linked the worlds.

The Evolution of LGBT Portrayal in TV and Film
Happy Pride Month, all! I love Pride Month and everything that comes with it; the celebration, the festivities, the prestige. Pride Month is the ultimate beacon of positivity. Now sadly, there are a bunch of people in society who aren't really crazy about Pride Month and have their things to say against it. To those people, I'll only say this. There's a special place reserved for people who are against Pride Month. I'm too much of a gentleman to say it here, but I'll give a few hints: it rhymes with "bell," and I'm not talking about the city in Michigan.
