'The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance' Captures the Essence of Thra
Another world, another time... 37 years ago, The Dark Crystal was released. It was a Jim Henson film with absolutely no humans onscreen, just pure puppetry. It felt familiar, incorporating tropes seen in such franchises as The Lord of the Rings and Star Wars. But it was also alien, with its own mythology regarding such beings as the evil Skeksis and the mystical urRu. It truly did feel like another world, a strange one with charm. And now, people get to experience more of it onscreen via the Netflix prequel series The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance.

Arrows and Roses - Chapter 13
It had been hours since she left for home and he was still in his room pacing about, unable to sleep. It was funny, to think gods didn’t need sleep but still did it anyway, much like eating human food. It was enjoyable. There were several stories of the gods sleeping for years, so it shouldn’t be a shock that he enjoyed it as much as the next god did.

Arrows and Roses - Chapter 12
As we walked back to the castle, Persephone caught me by surprise. “Erosa, dear, your parents have already left, but Apollo will pick you up later.” She took my arm, linking it with hers as she led me through the castle, explaining to me what was happening, leaving Thanatos behind.

Half-Man: a Micro-Novella
The say a human heart can beat up to a hundred times a minute on a normal day. On a normal day, light hits your eye at 186,000 miles every second. And sound, well that just attacks your ear at 767 miles per hour. You know what that tells me? Life is violent.

Broken Hearts Red Blend
Jessica sits alone at her kitchen table sipping a cup of coffee, nursing a slight hangover, and trying not to relive the humiliation of the night before. The night began well enough. She met her good friend Josh at their favorite café, and had a lovely meal. After that, they walked to the local theater to catch a late showing of The Breakfast Club. Had they gotten to the theater one minute sooner or later, she would have avoided seeing B.B. with his wife.

The Redeemer of Vice City
Long before the earth was created, the fate of the balance of strong energies had begun to change. Both the positive and negative needed to find a happy medium. As the war for humanity's soul raged on for centuries, a new warrior on each side of good and evil could be chosen every four hundred years or so. Legends of mystics and powerful warriors coming together to compete in a tournament-style competition were held in high regard throughout Earth's history.
