[WP] While visiting a memorial for veterans, you spot a man in a stained and dirty uniform. After asking him what war he served in, he sadly laughs and responds "all of them". I had always seen the veterans’ memorial every time I drove into work. It was right outside one of the gates to …
The Chosen Ones
[WP] You are the Chosen One. You go to kill the evil tyrant, only to find that he’s actually the previous Chosen One. Water doused fire. Air obliterated earth. No matter which spells I cast, he seemed to know before I did. I thrust my staff out, creating a flock of birds in a burst …
Short Summary – How to Train Your Dragon 3
Short Summary is an original series in which I write brief reviews of movies, TV shows, video games, books, and more. Spoilers, for sure, as I’m going to be talking about all three HTTYD movies here. Disney and Pixar rarely miss with their animated films, both in terms of their quality and box office returns. …
Intervention
[WP] After you laze about in a looped day for years, God finally stages an intervention to tell you that you’re supposed to be trying to get out of the loop. I’m not usually this irritated. Rather, I’ve always been perceived as the very opposite. I mean, at least sometimes. Don’t dwell on that too …

Seattle
So this time, I get to flip the script. I’ve written about places I’ve been to before that Kevin had never visited, and now, I can write about the opposite. Kevin’s dad’s family almost entirely resides in Washington. His dad was born and raised there. Kevin can remember the many times that, as kids, he …
Under the Road
Dark outside, Black inside, Save the white glow of a headlamp, Illuminating the gray floor before me. Dust hangs in the air, Chalky construction dust, With powder I kick up, As we walk farther along. I chat with the woman beside me, Our voices low, Since even whispering can carry, And we can’t be discovered. …
Short Summary – The Wolf Among Us
Short Summary is an original series in which I write brief reviews of movies, TV shows, video games, books, and more. Spoiler alert, just in case! In his fable, he was the Big Bad Wolf. In the real world, he's Bigby Wolf, the gruff, hard-boiled sheriff of Fabletown. The Wolf Among Us is an episodic, interactive …
My Favorite Holiday Romantic Comedy
This is going to disappoint certain members of my family. Sorry, guys. I love Love Actually. I swear, I do. It's the OG ensemble film, a classic Christmas movie, and a really great romantic comedy--uh, drama--with incredible actors and all the feels. But my favorite holiday romantic comedy is, aptly named, The Holiday. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDi5zH18vxU I don't even …
