The Control Room
My blood shook with a magnetic pull and pulse. The movement felt like a rollercoaster without any safety harness. I was sliding with a large magnetic pull in my spine. My back was sliding on the metal of the underside of a bridge. Suspended, I was being pulled along on an invisible track. I felt like a puppet without any actual strings attached. The city cars, below me, altogether, unaware of my hanging limbs, drooping down. My appendages had the appearance of security cameras in a way.

Mark Hamil lends his vocal skills, along with Richard Romanus, who was also in Heavy Metal (1981) as well as in Martin Scorcese's iconic American gangster pic Mean Streets *(1973), alongside Robert Deniro and Harvey Keitel. Before he died, Romanus, in other words, was in some classic films. Wizards is one of them, although we don't say it isn't a troubled ordeal fitting that term "classic" to it. Here's why.

How I Manifested the Love of My Life
I used to roll my eyes whenever I heard people talk about manifesting love.

But a few years ago, after a series of failed relationships and heartbreaks, I decided to give it a real chance. I didn’t know it then, but that decision changed the course of my life forever.

The cities glistened with towers wrought of crystaline lustre, and the parks shimmered with lanterns whose glow waxed and waned like the breath of lovers. The very air quivered with sighs and gasps, as ordinary as the chirp of sparrows at dawn.
