Book Review: Pacifying the Mist
A Standalone Standout of the Series Pacifying the Mist is book 6 of the Story Collector’s Almanac, which this is the first book I read of the series. Even without having read the previous 5 books, the author does a great job of building the world and getting the reader acquainted with it and the characters. Which was great for a newcomer like me! Following the story of Tomas, an illiterate…

CAUTIONARY TALE!
There's always story like Michael Muir, a young teenager.
One day he was sitting in his room and staring at the walls thinking about everything. Then again, he was also thinking about nothing.
Then his mom walked into the room, and he didn't realize she was there. Worried about her son, she called for him. He was unresponsive and she yelled his name again until he got his attention.
Bewildered by the sudden shouting, he inquired about what his mom was concerned about. Then she interrogated him asking what was wrong with him.
Michael simply answered that nothing was wrong, but his mom dismissed the answer and accused him of doing drugs. He argued back that he was just thinking and could just go for a can of Pepsi. She angrily dismissed him again and kept yelling he was on drugs.
He wasn't on drugs, he was just thinking and just wanted a drink of a fizzy Pepsi.
Michael wasn't crazy, they were crazy. They forced him to get professional help to protect him from his only enemy, himself.

The Departing Tale of Christopher & the Hereafter: Chapter 2
The tree was a bitch to climb with all his stuff weighing him down, but David somehow managed. He didn’t have a build for athletic feats but reached the branch to the kid’s window even so. The branch wavered under his weight, but it didn’t worry him much. Christopher gawked with his mouth wide open, staring at this man in dark clothes standing on a branch. The man who claimed to be the Grim…

The Pride of the Two Lions
I started playing War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius, it's a free mobile game from Square Enix and Gumi Inc. The story has been engaging that it sparked me to write my own scene involving two characters. Go ahead and give it read ^_^
I’ve been recently playing the free mobile game War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius. It’s a tactical RPG inspired by another of Square Enix’s games, Final Fantasy Tactics. The game play has been very engaging and I got sucked into the story. I’m only in the early chapters of the game, but I felt inspired to write a short scene using two of the characters. Mont and his brother, Sterne,…

Microphone Test Audio Technica at2020USB-X
Bought this new microphone and wanted to test it reading a poem by Edgar Allan Poe.
Christopher reached the top of the stairs. He stepped behind David into a clearing that was surrounded by dead-like trees. Every tree was barren of any leaves. A dense fog hung above the trunks but could not see further than about three meters in front.
So this was the afterlife or as David called it “The Hereafter.” This was nothing like he learned from his time at Catechism. All the lessons about Heaven–rather the Hereafter–changed just like that! Because there were no fluffy clouds or golden gates or Angels playing harps. None of that was here. Just dead-looking trees.
One thing was for sure and that an afterlife existed. Christopher needed David to be his guide on this journey. Christopher followed behind him as they steered through the trees. David mentioned they needed to find one of the main gates. For now they were on the outskirts of the Hereafter. Passing through the gates would take them through all sections and places they had to pass first before reaching the main goal. The DDCC.
