The first one we were sent to kill, was a Mr. Martin Finnegan. He was the first of Cohen's "disciples", so to speak. Cohen rambled on about how Martin had been hiding out somewhere in Poseidon Plaza. Jack and I inched toward the entrance into the plaza, and then I stopped in my tracks.
"Wait! I hear something…"
We listened intently. The faint echo of a song tiptoed through the halls of Fort Frolic. The voice of a young girl sounded out.

Bound Prologue and Chapter OneStarting a story is never an easy thing, especially the story I want to tell now. I don't even know where I should start from; if I should start from the beginning, or from the point it was told to me. Perhaps I should start it from the point of view of a normal man who got tangled into the middle of it. Its very difficult to choose one way over the others, so…I'll do it as best I can. With pen and pencil.Bound Prologue and Chapter One2 years ago in Introductions & Chapters More Like This
I'll never forget the first time I saw him. He wasn't very distinctive, just a man in a black suit, gray vest, and a tie. Nothing special. Looking closer, however, I noticed that his clothes were rumpled, his shoes a bit dusty, and e

I awoke later in a dark room. I was chained up. Someone had captured me. I was beaten, battered, and bruised from my previous fight. I could feel the soft trickle of blood on the side of my lip, and my head rang like a gong. I looked up and saw a silhouette of a man. He was a tad bit muscular, but not too much. He had a lit cigar in his mouth. I could smell the smoke that drifted above his head. It smelled of vanilla with a hint of peppermint and ashes. The man had his arms crossed against his chest.
"Who are you?! What have you done to me?!" I yelled, "I demand an answer!"
The man slowly took the cigar out of his mouth and turned on the

No matter what way you looked at it, I have, and may always will be a bit of an eccentric when it comes down to Pokémon series: this has seemed to have declined over the years but I still consider myself quite knowledgeable; during Secondary School especially, I was a literal encyclopaedia on the subject despite only every owning Crystal Version while my eldest brother owned both copies of Ruby and Sapphire.
Eventually, by 2006, my interest in Pokémon came back when I bought my brothers copies of the games, as well as a DS and PMD. I eventually also got Pokémon Ranger; as well as Diamond and Pearl that I was able to enhance my

in varied shades of grey
Without a hint of colour shown
in oft repeated days
I hardly knew my eyes were closed
to things I could have seen
And I was blind & quite unknown
to joys that could have been
But when you thrust yourself on me
the veil rose and freed
A world renewed with wondrous hues
and rainbows lit by you
My life was lived in monochrome
in black and white alone
Till you lit up my darkest days
with brightly painted rays
Aang Ain't White Once upon a time, way back in high school, I had to watch a movie about the life of Ghengis Khan. In the movie, the part of the Chinese princess was played by a blonde American actress. When I complained about this blatant disregard for accuracy to my teacher, his response was that the movie was made in the late 1960s, and feelings of animosity towards the continent of Asia in general were at an all-time high due to the Cold War. According to him, if an actual Chinese woman or even a Chinese-looking woman were cast in the role of the princess, the ignorant American public of yesteryear wouldn't have been able to relate to her as a characterAang Ain't White4 years ago in Editorial More Like This

His sister Sonnabend passed through earlier in silence, but now she stands in the doorway that connects this room to her own. She is still wearing the white shift she sleeps in, and a thick quilt is wrapped around her shoulders. It is well past noon, but Christopher doesn't express irritation at her sleep-wake habits.

The sunburn on my back is long gone, but I still remember how it came to be. It was back when the sand on the beach was made of snakes and the horizon was just a flat, painted line between that something called ocean and that stretch of color that had no name. That was when automobiles were just metal boxes that rumbled and moved. That was when I would hide in my room with the blankets over my head, and my face buried in my pillows, in the dark. I stayed on my bed most days, in that metal room, in that metal facility. Everything was made of rectangles in rectangles affixed with squares. But that was such a long time ago,

I hear nothing, but
a pendulum
the rhythmatic,
cathartic beat
from Grand Daddy's Clock.
Tick Tock

Tick Tock.
Like a platoon drill
of marching soldiers
in newly polished heels,
crunching the tarmac
and leaving their clipped,
polished silence
echoing in the stillness.
What is it
about this humdrum
hypnotic feat
that resonates feelings,
buried long
and so deep?

You know what I mean.
Go.
Change the world.
Whatever that you are fighting for.
Love? Peace? Justice?
When it feels like the end, don't stop.
Fight more.
I know that you are out there.

The world is bad.

But that is why we were born.

You will be on your own.
They will not want you.
They will not get you.
They will not love you.

That retrospect is a lie
That I found one day,
Written across your shoulders.
My heart was beating
A bit too loud, perhaps?
And I believe I asked you
If you would die for me,
Reflect upside-down
In a broken mirror,
Or in a glass heart.
I think I asked
"You are lovely?"
And you answered with teeth
And all that jazz.
As you can probably see
I still think in retrospect.

A Unique Breed The emperor stood, frozen in admiration of the dying man who lay before him. For centuries the old man has served as the nation's horse master, advising the emperor's own father and his father and even fathers unknown to the current emperor, for the old man was said to have the ability to find the greatest horses in the land. But now he lay dying, and with him the ability to conquer nations with ease.A Unique Breed2 years ago in Short Stories More Like This

The Pillar of Balance The light permeating the hallway was a false one, the illumination only revealed enough to understand that darkness ruled the corridor unequivocally, ruled the space in a subtle manner that controlled the goings-on in the passage from the shadows where it hid, safe, in the unassuming shadows of the light, dangerous gaps created by the flickering of a sole lamp beating to the pulse of the darkness, its very survival now dependent on the presence it sought to destroy. I attempted to finagle the key into its home, but my attention was stolen by a peculiar visage that the hallway light produced: normally, the shadow cast during the intermittThe Pillar of Balance2 years ago in Short Stories More Like This
The Winter of Nobody The nostalgia that melts on one's face each time a snowflake disintegrates is magical, juxtaposing the sensation a sudden chill leaves upon the skin with a warm memory of snow days gone by; and as the snowflake fades so too does the memory, awaiting another chance to play in our minds and turn our captivated eyes inward for a brief moment. Sometimes the phantasmagoria allows the mind to craft new memories, building a series of analogies that allow the psyche to climb around their intricacies while the heart watches in worry, and disdain.
