Tackling a Writing Block…
Hammered out a second and third act of Shadow Book Three's final story. Had struggled to go in a direction, but I think the plot is all worked out. Now, just need to write out the remaining scenes...

Miyazaki now hints that he does not plan to produce more Dark Souls games. I'm encouraged by this.

Radio Drama: Brave New World
What more can I say about this great sci-fi, Brave New World? Considered by many to be one of the best 20th century novels written, it's a great story.

A Strange Encounter
I pushed my legs to pump harder, like an overworked crankshaft. Behind me, the beast ripped out three more trees but never slowed down. I didn’t want to die alone and in so deep a jungle.
Two more palms crashed and splintered. A roar and hot breath filled the air. I smelled a red-eyed death that chased me. I smelled my own terror and piss. I jolted left.
Red stone buildings rose above the brush and trees. Sentinel-like walls surrounded and protected a nearby ancient city. A gnarled iron gate opened and a withered man stepped out. He smiled as I ran toward him. “Why the hurry, young man?” he said. I struggled to say something. To breath. He dismissed me with a hand gesture and mumbled. The jungle hushed.
Panting and sweating, I turned around and gawked. A surrounding thicket of smashing chaos was now just nesting birds murmuring somewhere within a calm Amazon. The creature that hunted me had vanished. Everything went black and my legs buckled.

His soft voice, she remembered that he had whispered "I will return." But that seemed so long ago.
