Poetry Time 96: The Outer Silence

Andreas_Helixfinger at 12:00AM, Nov. 17, 2024



My hearing was not in my surroundings but somewhere else.
I could hear a wailing turning to howling. Howling turning to roaring.

Love languages

Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Oct. 19, 2024



Love is an evasive concept to pin down. Everyone acts like they know what it is, but few can discern whether they're actually experiencing it. A lot of fiction and movies are to blame for that, since they often label as love toxic relationships, stalking, or even outright abuse ...

The Horror Protagonist

Banes at 12:00AM, Oct. 10, 2024



I was watching The Dead Zone again the other week, and thought that Johnny Smith might be the perfect horror Protagonist.

Revenge

Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Sept. 14, 2024



We love a good revenge story.

The entire journey of a character from victimhood to avenger is one that almost guarantees audience engagement and their rooting for the character on the path of revenge.

The reasoning for that is easy: the character suffered a great grievance that is unlikely to ...
