The Prophecy
It took everything in me not to attack. I had to keep a low profile. I couldn’t reveal who I was, my true self. All I could do was walk away, and that very moment would haunt me, for all eternity.

Empath: Into the Shadow, Chapter 2
September 15th, 2016 The coffee was cold and bitter, but Justin drank it, anyway. A thermos a day, sometimes. Unlike some of the people he studied, he needed caffeine to function and stay awake. He would get headaches sometimes if he went without, full-blown migraines if he was thinking too hard or highly stressed out. Sometimes his anxiety would go through the roof and he'd do breathing techniques to slow his heart rate. Often times, he thought about cutting it out because it was almost an addiction. It is an addiction, but it’s legal addiction, so as long as I have free will, I’m drinking coffee. Justin pushed up his glasses and walked out the employee lounge, leaving his thermos of black, bitter, cold coffee behind.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi - Thoughts and Final Opinion
"This is not going to go the way you think!" Luke Skywalker pretty much summed up what the movie said to fans of Star Wars right there, and I, like majority of the people in the theatre, sat in shock and confusion as the credits of The Last Jedi rolled across the screen. It took me a couple of hours to process the events of the movie, weigh out the pros and the cons, before sitting in front of my laptop and writing a spoiler free review that I posted on futurism.media that same night. I knew that I needed to see the film one more time in order to get my thoughts sorted in a coherent and proper way. And so, having seen the film today, here I am.

Faeces, Waste or Fuel?
Ever since the dawn of motorised transportation and electricity in our homes, man has wondered if there could be a more renewable manner of running these fossil fuel dependent machines. As time moved on, the necessity for alternate power sources increased and with it came many possibilities thought up by many geniuses globally. The issue with these alternates is that they’re incredibly expensive to run, take a toll on the earth to build and governments simply refuse to invest in this when a cheaper alternative exists. The planet is in dire need of a more sustainable, cheaper, and less destructive power source. Without one global solution in the next twenty years, the human race may have to look to other planets in order to survive.

Blood on these hands. How long has it been now since we started all this? Years. Years and years. Too long for any one person to stand, too long for the people to have to cope, but we carry on all the same. The fight eternal. We warriors, it is what we do, but at the sake of what?

Outrun Stories #37
A partnership born out of necessity rather than convenience. I hated him, he hated me, but we seemed to get the job done, somehow. We’d make it out of whatever job we’d gotten ourselves into, and you know, sometimes we’d even make a little bit of money. Not this time.

A Conversation Between a Man and a Lion
A lion's roar travelled through unfamiliar scenery. In the golden age one would expect a lion’s roar to be restricted to Africa, but that was a long time ago. The monstrous deep green pines shivered unyielding as the sound waves emitted from the jaws of the king passed in-between the thin branches. This was not their true king for he belonged to the jungle, not a forest. But that was a long time ago.

The Last Jedi
So obviously there might be some spoilers ahead. With the crowd and critics so divided about the movie, it's hard to not be on one side or the other. If you watched Star Wars for the first time, this movie was probably super amazing and you have no clue why some people are hating on it. However, if you're a true fanatic you're sitting there wondering how Disney managed to mess up your whole life's devotion to this one thing. I get it. I get both sides.

The Greener the Energy, the Cleaner the Environment
How to Run Your Electricity Bill to the Healthiest and Most Economical Environmental Standard Did you know that the energy you pay out of pocket for every month isn't only bad on your wallet, but bad on the environment? Not only do emitted green house gases harm the environment, but they can potentially harm you too. Energy companies that use limited energy resources don't want you to know this of course, but they do want your money. Energy power plants emit pollution into the air; that's bad for you, your animals, your families, your environment, and it's all coming out of your wallet each month! It's even bad for the climate. Of course we need our energy but there's a greener, and cleaner way to do it every month.
