Were You REALLY Surprised By The 2024 Election?
We all know what a joke our presidential elections have been for the last 12 years. It's been a bad road circus with rodeo clowns running the show, and they ONLY had a trapeze act. We keep this statement exactly as it is, and almost ALL Americans can agree with each other.

Memoirs Of The In-Between: Chapter 6
A few weeks of classes with the children proved useful. By the end of the week, I knew how to turn on the lamps that required energy, the history of Limbo, how CiCi had formed the Spirit Warriors with the help of Malakaii, and more about the Tisin and how souls moved through the cycle that fueled this world as well as many others. Things were much clearer, though there were still many questions to be asked. One day, Leon met me after class, a grin on his face as he looked at me.

The Living Statues of Orthavos. Top Story - November 2024.
"The river ran backwards on the day the Queen vanished," A soft melodious voice spoke quietly, as the sound of footsteps and water dripping echoed around the darkness in which the group was walking.

The Greatest Baker And The B+ Foundation. Content Warning.
You Don't Have To Be A Parent To Imagine The Pain Of Losing A Child. It's a straightforward thing that even the cruelest, most selfish of humans can imagine. Even people who loathe the thought of children with the entirety of their existence know that when a parent does lose a child it's the most devastating thing in the world. I'm confident when I say that almost everyone (save for sociopaths and psychopaths) could empathize or sympathize with the mere thought of losing a child, to anything.

October PSA: The Proper Way To Play With Ouija Boards
I Don't Talk About It A Lot But I Have 19 Years Of ...Paranormal Experience. Read this story and many others on Medium! I have a long history of cleansing negative energies from houses, and even removing unwelcome visitors from people. Spiritual attachments can be dangerous if left unchecked. Spiritual attachments, in my lineage, are defined as an unwelcome or unknown presence in the form of the manifestation of energy, whether that be spiritual energy or residual energy that is attached to one particular person or place.

Memoirs Of The In-Between: Chapter 5
Chapter 5 I woke up the next morning with sunlight hitting my face from the window. My body resisted the urge to get up at first. I was still tired, but I was surprised when I moved, my body was not sore. There was not a single ache in my body, and I found myself feeling a surprising respect for the fast-talking girl who came to visit me last night.
