My Review of "Get Out"
I had thought I had written a review for Get Out a while back but then I realized that I didn't start writing reviews until 2018. This movie came out in 2017. When I first saw this movie I was dumbfounded by the brilliance of how Jordan Peele had married race relations and horror. Not only did he do this but he did it in the most unexpected manner.

Before You Go
The snow fell lightly around her and she could see her breath fog out with every exhale. The night cloaked the city promising the possibility of secret happenings away from the light. She waited a moment longer before she took a final breath and walking into the warm comfort of the building.

Cat's Paw
Tragedy. It’s a small word but it has huge meaning. I could see the effects of what that word could do in the summer of 2001 when tragedy struck my neighborhood. It infected and contaminated everything. The worst part was that tragedy came with a crap load of emotions. Sometimes devastating emotions.

Not an explosion but a whimper and a sniffle
What if humans were not the true inhabitants of their planet? It is a question that has been become a serious issue based on the events of the past few months. For years, we have looked at all the stone structures that appear to defy logic if you consider the technology at the time they were created were ropes, logs and man power. The questions that Sci Fi enthusiasts ponder was why there is no history of these builders and how the structures were created with such precision and expertise like the perfectly cut stones of Cusco, Peru or the stone guardians of Easter Island. However, the question that some people in unnamed government agencies were focused on since 1947 is when they would return and what would the results of that event. In the Fall of 2019, the original inhabitants made their plans painfully apparently to the out matched primative 6 billion humans that were not prepared for the pending conflict.

Seven Again
Nothing holds back the dependability and stability of a man in his parallel dimension. I never call out, I never miss a day of hard work. The glimmer of light cast from my gold wedding band shines in my eyes, blinding me from true reality. Yes, I am a husband in the parallel universe. My face is soft under the general lighting, but underneath the scope, you’ll see the crows feet that walk around my eyes. Lines carved lightly from the laughs, the sudden surprises. The smile I flash to my brilliant wife. A woman whose daring nature brought her praise from colleagues and peers through the work of charity. Her smile is much more worn out from giving it to everyone. Her body tells two stories of new life. Feminine life created from myself and herself. We have a perfect life. Two adults, two children, who stay in their role. We have alarms, routine, love. Nothing exists in our home to diminish the order we’ve built. That alarm keeps blaring. Why is that alarm going off while my children are playing on their slip n slide? Their skin shining under a scorching sun, slick with water from the hose that waters our garden. That alarm is ruining their play time. They’re worried about being adults, having to wake up for work. Work?
