Gail Force Winds Pt. 1
My grandfather's old farm lands hadn't been touched in ten years now, not since his death left it untended. It seemed a fitting place to escape my troubles now. My childhood home was situated at the edge of some 98 acres of land the old man owned, God bless his foresight in purchasing the defunct hunting club's property. I had been paying taxes on said land for five years now, my mother defaulting on it herself, prison time didn't suit the taxpayer well.

Common Man's View: 'The Maus'
A symptom of just being a common man, sometimes I know exactly what I want to say about a movie, and sometimes I watch one of these Netflix Originals and I come out the other side having no idea what I've just watched, or what to say about that feeling of uncertainty.

Eternal Night

Soul Snatchers
Carrie grew up in a small town that was just like any other small town. Her, her parents, and her brother Mike all led pretty average lives. She was entering her senior year of high school. She had already made big plans to move to New York when she graduated. She planned to get a place big enough so that Mike, who was only a year younger than her, could move in with her when he graduated. They had always been pretty close, even though she wanted to choke him half the time. He was her baby brother she had to look out for him. There was no way he could be trusted to live completely on his own. He'd fall flat on his face and end up back at home with mom and dad. So their plan was perfect and it gave her a year without him cramping her style. She could never get a date with him around.

I'm Alone
I have learned over the last 5 days that internet is my only connection to the actual world. The world you are in at the moment. The world where I was but not anymore. This happened exactly five days ago if I'm correct. I changed my clothes after a long day at work and I was ready to just fall asleep. And so I did. I fell asleep after texting my girlfriend good night.

She's There
I sat huddled in the corner waiting for the lights to come on. All around me people stood, chatting to each other like everything was fine. They all seemed unaffected by the dead body lying in the center of the room. Lisa's bloody, ravaged body. She was my best friend and now nothing but a corpse. When she first fell from the ceiling there was distress. People screaming and panicking. Security guards had scattered throughout the building to search for the murderer. Tears staining the face’s of nearly every person as fear closed in around their hearts. Half an hour later, when people were beginning to settle down, the lights went out. This renewed the fear in everyone despite some people’s desperate struggle to hide it.
