"...great grand was a Miller Johnson, back when Miller was a common first name, who married my great ma, Anna, I can't remember her last name. She bore him three sons, the last two going off to America or somewhere, seemed the only place untouched by the War then. Took the life of their firstborn, didn't it. That was my grandfather...."

020111: The Anya
The incessant rainfall of the previous day had finally decided that it was time for a break,petering out into a thin drizzle as clouds both old and young, whilst still harbouring torrential ambitions, bowed out to the rise of the morning sun.
A gold ray pierced through one of the windows on the seventh floor of the Four Seasons Hotel, entering a ( Read more... ) -
010111: A View Of The End (2)
The mid-day sun fell about a deserted seafront, warming seaweed and empty plastic bottles choked with sand, hardly a day into the time in which it would take to decay properly. It wasn't a sightly beach, at least, one not mentioned in the guidebooks, and its only visitor for the day had been a flock of seagulls that had arrived an hour after sun ( Read more... ) -
311210: Stage Life Syndrome
"Good evening sir, and how may I serve you?"
"I need to find... a hospital?"
"A hospital?"
"Yes you see, I think I might have hurt myself..."
"Excuse me sir but we are a restaurant, the hospital was three scene's away-"

301210: The Adversary
Through ordnance binoculars the RE officer observed in horror as the troops abandoned the cover of their trenches, Carnoy now far behind them, and began marching across No Man's Land, promptly falling over one at a time, sometimes two, to the hail of oncoming Boche machine gun fire.

051110: Codename: V
Under an evening sky of ever-darkening hues stole across the deserted street a shadow without shape, owner neither to be seen nor heard in a passage over before either sense had found itself cause to react. In its wake there lingered quite knowingly a sliver of memory, one that would have been easy on the recall if not for startled disposition of ( Read more... ) -
041110: Rhianna Rue
It was late evening when Rhianna Rue left the hospital, her first week and still not quite at ease to leave it in a state of non-combustion. The wind whipped outside the emergency entrance, and Rhianna tasted resignation and a strange sense of unease in her mouth. She had wandered early onto stage, clearly dressed for the wrong part. Almost ( Read more... ) -
03/11: Norton
"Drink?"
Norton looked at the flask cradled in the earth stained hand, extended towards him, and for a long period could see nothing beyond the light reflected off the flask's rim opening, a miniature halo exerting an absolute pull over his basest survival instinct.

011110: A View of The End
It was the early evening, and the sun had already commenced its slow descent over the seafront, breaking through the wall of clouds that had come to characterize the skyline of the last few days. Columns of light formed through the openings, a passing moment framed as an illusion of certainty before the clouds shifted, light breaking into shards ( Read more... ) -
tit bit
While having my bike worked over from a scene taken out of Transformers: The Movie (1986), I learnt that Japanese anime series are unique in that each episode of a series, while retaining the same director, utilizes a different animation team episode to episode, such that the characters and fighting techniques of Samurai Champloo episode 1 will be ( Read more... )
