Tandem Post: Boundaries
Boundaries Emma was dead. I mean, she got that, she really did. Although to be fair, it had taken her quite a while. But, in her defense, this was completely different to anything she had experienced before, and so recognising it was perhaps not such an obvious connection. What was so distinct about her present state, 'Was this a state? A condition perhaps? Or do you have to be alive to be in any form [...]
Deep Dive Conversation Dinner Challenge
i love movies. But the other day i was sitting at the table with a group of guys and we spoke about movies for an hour and a half.

Poetry with Erik with a K: Intro
i would like to introduce you to Erik [with a K] Sometimes when i am bored or feeling extremely creative, i like to disappear so that my alter ego, Brad Fish, can take centre stage - among the most popular things that Brad Fish was ever good for was a series of Dangerous Things You Can Least Expect videos lovingly known as DTYCLE where he warned us about all kinds of things we might have [...]
