Parallels, who can see it see.
Strangely accurately, our present reality was mirrored to me today from that lovely animated movie, Wall-E. How organisms originally created with a specific purpose, in the case of the film, machinery, discover a much broader reality and begin seeking what's missing. Because they know that there's so much more in the world than what has been programmed into them.

The Nashashi and the Evil Terrible Suroknoshnin!
In the sixth grade, I went with my family to see a new fantasy movie recently released in theaters. We sat down in the semi-comfortable chairs at my small-town theater. This was back in the day before reserved seats and my mother was always adamant on showing up at least half an hour early to the movies. Then the movie began. Trailers came and went, but no advertisements, this was before even those days, and soon the production studios' titles were flashing their logos while a sweeping orchestra set the mood with ominous music.

Love as a myth
Title: Love as a Myth: Deconstructing the Romantic Ideal Introduction Love, the ethereal emotion that has inspired poets, artists, and philosophers for centuries, is often depicted as the most powerful force in the universe. But what if we were to consider love as a myth, a concept that has been romanticized and idealized to the point of distortion? In this exploration, we'll delve into the notion that love, as we commonly understand it, may indeed be a myth – a complex web of emotions, expectations, and ideals woven into a narrative that obscures its true nature.

"The Evil Hairnet"
It all started with “The Evil Hairnet.” I have no idea where this story ended up, or if it even exists anymore, but I will always credit “The Evil Hairnet” as being my first piece of fiction and the beginning of my complicated relationship with the craft of writing.

Cover pics with Black characters have a serious lack of representation on Vocal Top Stories, plus other grouses.. Top Story - August 2023.
Dear Anyone Ever since I joined Vocal, I have noticed that if I use Black faces to represent my stories it almost never gets picked for a Top Story, except one, and it was a caricature of a rather pretty witch. I have monitored the situation for a long time, and I need to state my case. After thumbing through recent pages of TS', I found two stories represented, one by me which speaks about Vocal, not my personal stories, and the other a story about Carlee, a Black girl who lied about an incident, not very flattering. Did she really have to do something bad to have her face make top story.
