Unwoven Fates
Prologue In the snow covered mountains, a temple sat. the temple was never visited, as none remembered it. The temple sat forgotten for centuries at a time, until two remembered it and its purpose, for the temple had only one purpose; it was for the two to fulfill the prophecy it held in its walls. A prophecy that a villain will prepare to end the world, and the hero,named “the Usper”, that was chosen will slay them before the world was harmed.

Rampion - Chapter 2
It was mid morning the next day when the woman appeared, a basket over her arm, a goat and the dark-haired boy in tow. Heinrich was on the far side of the garden wall chopping wood, and Gertrud was in the chicken coop collecting eggs. When she saw the woman she let out a pleased shout of greeting and waved as she did her best to hurry over. "Calm down, love," Heinrich called. "You'll hurt yourself." Gertrud flapped her hands at him as though to shoo him away. Over Gertrud's shoulder Heinrich saw the old woman smirk in amusement. He lay down his axe and followed his wife.

Vampire Hunters
So now you know how my brother and I became vampires. However, you still don't know why we hunt them down and kill demons. Actually, that story is quite simple. It was a brisk spring morning forty-nine years after the night our mother was killed by Jedadiah. We were now Roman soldiers and very high rankings ones at that. We were Centurions, we were over two different Centuria of course. However, we were in the same legion. I believe you do know the story of the crucifixion of the Messiah. How two Roman soldiers nailed Him to the cross and hoisted it up into the hole as his body jolted in pain. Yeah, those two soldiers were my brother and I.

10 Comic Books Deemed Too Hot to Handle
10 Comic Books Deemed Too Hot to Handle The name of the 1954 book by psychologist Fredric Wertham's Seduction of the Innocent. It wasn't a love story or an erotic thriller, either. He argued that it was an exposé of a product harmful to young people's mental health worldwide. Those violent and suggestive comic comics were his preferred target audience. He asserted that by exposing their young readers to violence and sex, these scandalous journals fostered misbehaviour. He bent facts and other data to match his idea when they contradicted it. Although his accusations were absurd, his assertions concerned parents, educators, and politicians. Publishers started to filter their titles so that the contents would be deemed acceptable by the Comics Code Authority (CCA), which was established in 1954 by the Comics Magazine Association of America, and they also contributed to the comic book industry's voluntary self-policing. Surprisingly, some publishers, including the biggest and best-known in the business—Marvel Comics and DC Comics—continued to censor their own works even after publishers voluntarily withdrew from the censorship programme. These 10 comics were thought to be too hot to handle. They were consequently censored by their own publishers.

How Do We Tell My Kids, I Believe in Santa Claus?
*Only Semi-Autobiographical* Santa Claus is Holly Jolly and all of the fixins. Never does the man fail to put a smile on a deserving child's face. Spreading joy and wonder throughout the many realms. Unceasing the man is, perhaps to a fault. He is neverending, some say he existed before humankind even walked the planet and roamed with the dinosaurs. Dinosaurs celebrating Christmas never really got that big. Could you imagine a Jurassic Christmas Parade? The awestruck feeling left behind on that paleontological Yule Tide festivity. The holiday has been a fixture of many cultures for a Millenium, offering consistent Christmas cheer. A constant fixture many people look forward to, some all year long. This holds true in my house. Quinn and Gypsy love this time of year and celebrate with enthusiasm.
