Compilation of short stories Winter Wonderland It was a crisp and clear winter day when John decided to go for a walk in the woodland near his hunting lodge. He himself didn't hunt, but his Pa and grandpa had back in the day, although both of them had tried their best to wake his interest. His sister Michelle on the opposite begged until they would take her with them and now she’s a sniper in the army, while he had retreated to the lodge, which was in the middle of the Cairngorms, in a valley hidden away from any civilisation – exactly the way he liked it to write his books.
How The Lightsaber Has Changed Over Time
In many works of fiction, the main characters have certain items, called “props” that the characters always carry, that are associated with the character, or are otherwise usually present with the character. Typical examples are Long John Silver's parrot, Frodo's Sting or Indiana Jones' whip. These items are essentially extensions of the character, and are used not only as a tool or weapon but often for characterization and as an icon for which the character is remembered. In pop culture, the lightsaber is the iconic weapon of a Jedi, and although there are characters who are not Jedi who carry them, it has become a recognizable symbol of Star Wars and one that has evolved from a basic, metal tube to many other, more interesting and exotic designs.

When I was a kid, I used to have a recurring dream of walking barefoot on a field of tall grass & yellow dandelions in the early morning hours. I always pictured myself as a kid who was all alone in the field of pure bliss and eternal happiness. Sometimes, I had the company of birds and butterflies and other times I was happily running around in the field. I don't know if that field is even real or it existed only in my imagination, but in my heart, it was so real.

Frankenstein Unbound, where have you been all my life? How have I gone 30 years without experiencing your glorious insanity? Frankenstein Unbound is a 1990 sci-fi-time travel-horror movie from the gloriously diseased mind of Roger Corman. The film stars John Hurt as Buchanan, a modern day science millionaire who accidentally destroys time, leaving time unbound, if only for him and his future car. What? That's the plot!
Sean PatrickPublished 3 years ago in FuturismRael
In the darkest forest, on the edge of the largest city in the fairy kingdom, the creatures that had inhabited it for the last two million years were more restless than they had been in the last century. For the last seven weeks, fairies across the land had tried to restore the land to its natural harmony. Some of the fairies had taken to meditating in the forest for hours upon hours. One such fairy, who was more worried about healing the forest and setting it back in order than chanting idiotically around the ceremonial alters, Rael sat on an old stump beginning her daily meditation routine. Just from placing a hand on the stump, she could feel the anger, resentment, and pain of not only the tree itself but of the entire forest for miles upon miles. Something in the radiating pain made Rael uneasy. As welcoming as the forest seemed, Rael could almost feel the forest's creatures and the ancient magic that had sustained it for ages take their last dying breaths in the stillness of the sudden silence that ran unbroken throughout the entire expanse of

Joseph CochranePublished 3 years ago in FuturismBook Review: "Diderot and the Art of Thinking Freely" by Andrew Curran
This book covers the life and career of one of the greatest Enlightenment Philosophers in all of human history - Denis Diderot. Associated with compiling the encyclopedia and writing books supporting atheism and free-thinking, Diderot was a figurehead that pioneered the way to modern Europe. Inspired by various people including John Locke, he has been often reactionary towards the more religiously inspired French people. Diderot’s career was filled with him being locked up and released, becoming a scandal and going into hiding, making friends and networking with some of the greatest minds in France such as Jean Jacques Rousseau and finally, publishing works anonymously out of fear of being imprisoned once again. I find this book to be on the fence and not as great as I was anticipating. This is mostly because the second half was far more informative than the first half. I found that the first half, though it offered some context to how Diderot was living and his education, it did not provide us with any answers to his motives. The only answer it seeks to provide is that he is against organised religion because of his treatment underneath it and of what he read.
Annie KapurPublished 3 years ago in FuturismThere Is A Rumour That Shia LaBeouf Could Be In 'Star Wars' Soon
Star Wars casting rumors are on the rage. Some seem likely, some seem somewhat plausible, and some seem just way too out there. The fact of the matter is that we may not know for sure the legitimacy of rumors until something like an official confirmation from Lucasfilm comes out. However, some are interesting to think about.
