Andreas_Helixfinger at 12:00AM, May 29, 2022
Recently it struck me. So far I’ve already brought up two water-based mythic beings in this series of articles, and non of them were mermaids. Which is why I’ve decided to talk about them here today. We’re pretty much all familiar with mermaids. Though maybe not as ...

I don't wanna be remembered; I wanna be forgotten
MEMORY and MEMORY LOSS in FICTION

Language
Andreas_Helixfinger at 12:00AM, May 8, 2022
