Alchemy at the End of History
Life is a connected series of moments, yet non-linear by nature, and made stark, by the city on this stormy night. I lie on the bed, my back propped up by pillows and there is nowhere to move.

My name is Karley. I’m 22 years old. And I don’t know what the fuck am I doing for the last while. I’ve been in this god-forsaken city for the last twenty-seven days. To state the obvious, this is not the Toledo that I know anymore. The city I knew was more robust. It had people. Businesses were thriving per the norm, cars driving down the roads. You know, alive.

Cartoons are usually a great way to blow off steam and have a few laughs, but sometimes, the better ones can make you think, and if they're really good, even make you cry. Often, these moments become so moving because they are completely surprising. These heartbreaking cartoon moments in TV sneak up and overwhelm us like never before.
Joseph FarleyPublished 7 years ago in GeeksClassic Movie Review: 'Groundhog Day'
Something keeps nagging at me about Groundhog Day, this week’s classic on the Everyone is a Critic Movie Podcast. I like the movie but something about Groundhog Day seems to bring out my inner pedant. Whether it’s the questionable timeline, the questionable motivation for those many timelines or something in the manner of Bill Murray’s slightly awkward performance, I can’t seem to embrace the film as fully as so many others have.

The world was dark. It always had been, really. That was just how I had grown to accept the world: in shades of gray, barely changing from the dullness that I experienced on the daily.
Extra Sauce
"Malls are great places to shop," she said. "You can find everything you need under one roof." Tanya remembered that day like it was yesterday, walking around the gargantuan building stuffed with expensive and recognizable name brand stores that just never seemed to end. She was about six at the time, still holding her mother's hand unashamed and unwilling to let go. Despite her mother's great fascination and outright joy about shopping malls, the brunette was incredibly uneasy about going to them. All of these strangers around her, carrying those big bags; it just left the little girl with an uneasy stomach.

my old love is bittersweet. brazen promises traded for lamp-glow warmth just bright enough to make out the stains on his shirt.
Dream Sequence Drafts
Hey guys, I like to dabble in writing, but like most writers out there, don't expect it to go further than my laptop screen/diary pages. I just want to put some dream sequences on here to see what people think I guess. They are out of context, the context being the rest of a 40,000 personal project, still unfinished. If there is a way to let me know what you think, please let me know. Also, bear in mind this is still a first draft, like I haven't even gone back over it and edited anything so even if they are words saying how crap it is, be gentle.
