This is how it begins: There is Donna and there is Rhoda. Donna is smart and witty. Rhoda is beautiful and sexy: There is a different star in the sky She is the descendant of Madonna. Her eyes the color of the moon On a vampire’s night Her legs, straight, Like the two pillars […]
21 Things
Be good to people. Be good to people. Be good to people. Be good to people regardless of their religion, their gender, their race, their belief. Just be good. It’s not about them. It’s about you. What do I mean? I mean you should do good, not because of the people you are doing it […]
The Man, The Hunter, The Widower, and The King.
The doors in Illidongtin castle were enormous and noisy. They were made of oak, fine oak that had been gotten from the forests in Africa; African oak. The king had made sure of that the moment he ascended. It did not matter to him that his brother just died and the whole palace was in […]
My Stand On Feminism
“It is in vain to say human beings ought to be satisfied with tranquillity: they must have action; and they will make it if they cannot find it.
