Time.
It does not come in an even lap.
It comes wearing the everfacing mask
Dead-light searching, seeking that hope.
It is gone graving the everfading mote
Can you see the black fog before the red freeze?
They are neither free from the primordial bead.

We're already almost at the halfway point of Pride Month, and well, the Duck has an event going!
About a week in June, and seeing everything happening where people are being treated terribly (to put it mildly) for just being true to themselves and who they are, it occurred ...
"... the president said without reference to reality."
Gunwallace at 12:00AM, June 12, 2025
The title is from a live blog entry on The Guardian website on the 10th of June. The post quoted Trump spreading a conspiracy theory that the Governor of California and the Mayor of LA had paid protestors to cause trouble. The not-so-subtle phrasing makes it quite clear what the ...

Where destiny lies
Off to the horizon light and darkness ties
Genius has already invented our demise
Only angels and flames may defy the skies
Burn my dreams for that new sunrise
Where destiny lies

Conflict is the spice of storytelling! Whether it’s a comic, movie, or show, those moments of raw emotion often stick with us the longest. You know the ones—when characters clash, emotions boil over, and things get real. A fiery argument can leave your readers on the edge of ...
Writing unsavoury people
Gunwallace at 12:00AM, June 5, 2025
I've spent a lot of this year dealing with the fallout of the death of a close friend. For whatever reason he picked as his executor a woman that none of the rest of his friends and family get along with. Actually, that's downplaying it. Most of them ...

It seems like every single “badass” in TV, Movies, books and comics is “ex-special forces” or something like it these days. It's become a meaningless cliche. Writers use it as a shortcut to show ...
