Doom Patrol #3 - Rebooted
2023.04.02 05:01 DarkLordJurasus Doom Patrol #3 - Rebooted
It’s a normal day in Neo-Midway. In the back alley, a gun fires off, a sparkling white pearl necklace shattered as another orphan is made. Police cars blare, cars hovering parallel the street, attempting to make their way to Midway’s First Local Bank before the robotic menace known only as Rog is able to escape. In the robot’s claw-like hands is cash and small trinkets from the bank’s safe deposit boxes.
A few blocks away, a neon sign for a bar known for its shady clientele reflects the rain, a river of blood, grime and water begins to run out of the back alley into the streets.
The low humming of the sign begins to go in and out, the bright lights flickering in the process. No one notices or cares. It’s just another faulty piece of technology in a city full of it. Most of all, no one is looking in the bar’s side alley.
In the side alley, the finger to a green hand begins to materialize. Then the whole hand appears, followed by an arm, and then the rest of a body. When it is all said and done, the body is that of an alien looking fellow, one with big bug eyes and two antennas,and a hard pen outline around his body no matter how you look at him. His name is Irwin Schwab.
Irwin’s first thought is that he is cold. He had no clothes on when he jumped away from that strange grouping of heroes only a few hours ago, and now, with the cold rain of a dark, draft city hitting his skin, he can feel himself shivering.
His second thought is one of frustration. Why did he have to pass out when he landed in the previous show? It cut into his precious time, and almost got him killed. Now, Irwin has to collect the damn people before he could make the jump out of this world.
Irwin can’t curse his luck enough. He did everything right. Irwin realized early on he needed another person in order to backtrace to their Earth and away from the interconnected world of multiversal tv shows. Wanting to ensure that whomever he picked would be able to help fight for their freedom, Irwin picked a team of superheroes. It should have been simple, jump to the set of Doom Patrol, grab the cast, and jump out. They’d be gone before whoever runs this network of mind-controlled multiversal puppets found out Irwin’s plan. He miscalculated the jump though, and ended up knocked out due to falling a good few hundred feet. By the time he woke, the order from the network for Doom Patrol to be rebooted was already in, and there was nothing else Irwin could do but try again.
Irwin walks to the front of the building, a single plan in his mind. Find out which of the Doom Patrol is part of this show, and where the hell they are. The bar’s door opens with a creak. Teeth chattering, Irwin asks, “Does anyone here have a newspaper I can borrow, and possibly a shirt?”

Perry Mcfadden rides into the old, decrepit Doom Manor, his face contorted behind his red and white half face mask. Riding onto the shattered concrete of the driveway, Perry stops his motorcycle with a skid, shutting it down and jumping off.
He walks into the decaying halls, the flickering lights of ancient bulbs illuminating his way. Perry’s hands are balled into fists, the white pupiless eyes created by the tech in the mask sharply looking forward, each step calculated.
His footsteps aren’t quiet, in truth they are loud enough to be mistaken for that of a soldier marching into war. It doesn’t matter. The only other inhabitant of the manor will not hear the steps, the old man’s mind far too engrossed in the security cameras of the city, sitting, watching for any more crime.
Bam
Perry slams the door open, his eyes focusing on the weathered body of Niles Caulder. Niles sits in his wheelchair, his back arched, eyes quickly glancing around as his fingers rapidly tap the keyboard below him.
Not even glancing back at the young teen in his room, Niles says, “Your patrol doesn’t end for another hour and a half.”
Barely containing the fury laced into his voice, Perry responds, “We need to talk.”
Niles puts up a hand, waving Perry off, “Yes, yes. Of course. We will talk once your patrol is over. There is a disturbance on fifth street, Rog is robbing a series of banks and seems to have been made bullet proof.”
Something breaks inside Perry as his eyes change from white to blue. He marches over to Niles and spins the Professor’s wheelchair around until the two are looking at each other, Perry’s glowing eyes meeting the sunken, dead eyes of Niles Caulder.
Perry booms, an otherworldly echo enhancing his voice, Perry growls, “We need to talk now!”
Niles nods nonplussed by the whole situation, “So, you finally learned the truth.”
The static electricity in the room increases as Perry asks, “When were you going to tell me? I had a right to know who my father was, that me gaining my powers wasn’t an accident.”
Niles merely shakes his head, “It didn’t matter.”
Floating a bit off the ground, Perry screams, “It doesn’t matter? It’s my life! You had no right to lie to me.”
Niles yells back, “What is one life versus the lives of billions?”
Niles closes his eyes and takes a breath, “Everything I did, from leaving you as an orphan, to setting up your close encounter with the same spirit that gave you father his powers, was to prepare you to become a hero. The world needs the Doom Patrol, and I ensured that the legacy of the team would live on past my own demise.”
Landing, Perry turns around and walks out the door, not another word being muttered by the son of Larry Trainer.
The room goes silent for a moment, Niles sighing to himself, regretting what he had to do. It’s not that Niles doesn’t feel guilty for his actions, but its that the good of the many sometimes outweighs the good of the few. A new Negativeman was needed, especially if Niles is correct about himself not being a part of this world any longer.
Niles turns back to his screens, but instead of looking at the security cameras, he pulls up an old show, a superhero cartoon called Ambush Bug. He watches one of the eleven minute episodes of the fourth wall breaking hero where the hero defeats a villain with his signature teleportation powers.
The whole time Niles watches the room from the corner of his eyes. Seeing a shadow move, he smiles, it’s time.
Niles calls out, “Come out Irwin, I believe it is time for us to go.”
As Irwin leaves the shadow, he can’t help but say, “I feel like there is a whole page on TV tropes on why the greater good philosophy sucks. Lying and manipulation only ever leads to pain.”
Niles nods, “It’s what the producers wanted though. I had to play along with the script.”
“So, you remember?” Irwin asks.
“Not at first.” Niles admits, “At first I was merely trying to figure out who gave me the slip, but the company behind it must not have been as thorough as they thought as the security footage of the manor still had the footage from our chance meeting. Watching it jogged my memories, and made me realize just how bad of a situation I was in.”
“Hopefully we won’t be in this situation for much longer,” Irwin responds, “Once I grab you and the rest of your team, we can leave this screwed up labyrinth of melodrama and comedy, and get back to your Earth.”
Smiling, Niles says, “Lead the way.”

Midway City, a dumping ground for the worst of the worst. It’s a city infested by the low life of the world, gangs and villains control the six boroughs that make up the city, gang wars constant. For one Larry Trainor, this is his haunt. It’s been a year since he returned to the city, and in that time he’s been busy.
Larry watches from up in the night sky a series of men walking something off the boat. These men work for the Puzzler, the newest in a series of villains who have tried making Midway their territory. Larry though has a personal desire to see Puzzler defeated. Since setting up shop in Midway, Puzzler has gone on to do a series of increasingly violent attacks, each one leaving a puzzle to be solved that will give a hint to his next crime. Puzzler has made it clear, the attacks only end when the puzzle of who Negativeman is has a solution.
One of the men is barely able to hold onto his box of weapons, his arms shaking so much. A small stutter in his voice, he asks out loud, “W-What happens if Negativeman shows up?”
The guy next to him whispers, “Shut up!” urgency clear in his voice. The people of Midway are superstitious, one of the largest being that if you say the name of the hero, he will appear like a spectre from the great beyond.
The man seemingly in charge lights a cigarette, the red burning of the blunt contrasting the cold, dark, raining city. “I don’t give two craps about that freak, the Puzzler will make sure that thing gets what is coming to him.”
Larry remains motionless, watching the scene. This many years later, this amount of time away from Midway, the word freak still haunts him. It still reminds him of what his father said to him the day of his death.
—-----------------
Larry was 17 when it happened. A large fire struck the apartment complex his family lived in, his mother, his father, himself, and his dog. The family began to run outside as smoke entered their room, the whole building in a mad dash to escape before they went up in flames.
It was only when all three of the Trainors were outside that they realized that their dog was still stuck in the burning building. With no firemen around, the family knew that they would either need to run in themselves, or let the dog die.
Larry was quick to volunteer. His powers would allow him to breath in the smoke easily, and his enhanced strength would make getting through any obstacles easy. His parents refused. He can still remember the sharp voice of his dad as he told Larry that it would be easy for others to realize he has powers if he goes out, and the last thing he wants for his son is to be different.
His father ran back into the building to save the family’s dog, his mother holding him back, insisting that keeping the illusion of normalcy was more important than saving the life of their pet, or even saving the life of their father. That people will hate him if they see he is different.
Larry watched his father run into the building moments before it collapsed, neither his pet or his father ever coming out.
—-------------
Larry is brought out of his thoughts as a bolt of lightning strikes behind him, illuminating the sky in white for only a moment.
The man in charge must have seen him as he immediately holds up his hand, indicating for the men with guns to get ready to shoot. A moment passes before the man takes the cigarette out of his mouth and asks, “Who’s there?”
In a low gravelly tone, Larry responds with a single word, “Justice.”
The effect is instantaneous, boxes drop to the floor as bullets are fired out of guns, the muzzles lighting up as rounds of lead are released.
Larry closes his fist, and charges up radioactive energy. The first round reach him, most of them way off their marks. A single bullet gets close, skimming the white bandages he uses to cover his face.
As the second round almost reaches him, Larry releases the stored up energy in a bolt of blue lightning. The lightning ricochets off of the nearest bullet, hitting each bullet in rapid succession, blowing them up in the process.
Eyes widen in shock below Larry as shrapnel rains down on the Puzzler’s goons. Any that survived the shrapnel immediately begin to run, weapons left behind in the scramble.
Larry lands in front of the leader of the men. In fear, he drops the cigarette to the ground, the last bit of smoke leaving as the fire is distinguished.
Taking a step back, the man pleads to Larry, “Listen, I can get you anything you want. Drugs, info, goods, its all possible, just give me the word.”
Silently, Larry grabs the man by the throat and says, “I only want one thing, peace.” Larry throws the man hard, his face slamming against the wood of the pier as he slams into the ground. Pain blossoming from his injured left eye and broken nose, the man passes out.
Behind Larry, Irwin and Niles appears, the other men either bleeding to death from the shrapnel, or long gone by now.
Niles looks at the carnage. He knows the universe reboots the personalities inside the shows to make them work with the universe, but it is still hard for him to see the Larry Trainor he knew being behind this type of violence. “Are we sure we are in the right show?”
As Larry turns to look at the strange new voice, Irwin responds, “Despite looking like something Rob Liefeld or Frank Miller would imagine, I can assure you this is the right place. My best guess is that they wanted a dark and edgy reimagining of the characters.”
Double taking at seeing the animated figure and the wheelchair bound man talking so nonchalantly about the scene as if it was a story, not something real, Larry asks, “Who are you two?”
Niles responds, “My name is Niles Caulder, and I’m here to talk to you about the Doom Patrol.”

Two years ago, my husband and I tried to extend our business into the field of clean energy using a specially devised Particle Accelerator. Everything went wrong though when a recently fired scientist named Jonathan Dubrovy sabotaged our invention, leading to the Particle Accelerator exploding. Since that night, metahumans have begun to pop up all over Midway City, created by the very dark matter that our machine gave off. To make up for our companies’ mistakes, and save the people of the city, I began to fight crime using my new ability to stretch my limbs to lengths once thought impossible. I became, Elastigirl.
—----------------------------
Rita walks into the old Mento Labs, her arm stretched out and dragging behind her. Entering the main lab where Steven is waiting for her, she asks, “What happened?”
One of the other scientists working with the duo responds, “Dubrovy seems to have figured out a way to create essentially an air acid. It burned through the elasticity of your arm, leaving it to collapse under its own weight. It should heal soon enough, but it seems like Dubrovy isn’t going to be able to be taken down through merely stretching.”
Another one of the scientists goes, “It’s insane, including this new compound, we have seen him control 104 unique elements.”
The first scientist snaps his fingers, “Mr. 104, that’s a good villain name.”
Getting his crew back on track, Steven asks, “Is there any possible way for us to counteract the effects of the new element? Possibly a chemical compound or something?”
Leaving the three scientists to talk, Rita leaves the room, her arm continuing to drag behind her. In moments like this, she curses that she went into advertising and marketing in college. It’s hard to be the only one in a room not understanding what the others are talking about.
Slowly, she makes her way through the hallway to the visitor area of the labs. Before she can pass the hidden supply closet where Jonathan hid all his plans to sabotage the Particle Accelerator, Steven runs after her, catching up with her in the hallway.”
“Hey,” he asks, concern clear on his face, “Are you okay?”
Rita turns around, wincing from the pain of moving her outstretched arm, “Yea. It’s just…it’s crazy. Since the accident, it's like the world has turned on its head, it’s like this isn’t even the world we are from anymore.”
Steven kisses Rita on the head, “I know how you feel, I feel it too. Like everything is changing faster than we can keep up.”
Rita nods, “I’m just scared that nothing will be the same.”
Holding Rita in his arms, Steven replies, “As long as we are together, we can weather anything.”
As the two hold each other, the lights around them begin to figure as three figures enter the building.

With the so far acquired members of the Doom Patrol, Irwin prepares for one more jump. Grabbing a hold of Larry, Niles, Steven, and Rita, Irwin focuses his mind on Robotman before teleporting away.
The whole team arrives in a giant tower, childlike versions of the team running around. In the corner, child Steven is running away from child Rita yelling about Cooties, while at a table, child Larry is tugging over a pizza box with a child version of Niles Caulder.
A full size version of Robotman sits there, entirely motionless until he sees the team. Immediately, he begins to move, saying, “Thank god you guys are here. I don’t think I could have taken these buggers singing about pancakes one more time before I lost whatever the AI equivalent of sanity is.”
As Robotman walks over to the group, child Niles who must have been listening to Robotman pipes up, “Pancakes?”
Suddenly, all four children begin to sing the word pancake over and over again, their key entirely off.
Holding onto all of the Doom Patrol, Irwin jumps out, not before Robotman yells, “Sayonara you Nick Jr. rejects.”
Book: Doom Patrol
Arc: Another Superhero Story?
Set: 83
A Retconn Production
Somewhere out of reality, a quivering man waits to be able to talk to the CEO of the largest television production company in the entire multiverse. The man knocks on the tinted glass door, papers shaking in his other hand. He knows the CEO won’t be happy with the news, and the one who brings the CEO bad news is liable to become the main character of their own show, usually a horror-thriller with a lot of gore and torture porn involved.
An echoey voice, one ethereal in tone, booms out, “Come in.”
The man walks in, legs almost giving out with each step he takes into the room. He stares into the white void given form that is the CEO. The man looks near where he hopes the CEO’s eyes are, no distinct physical features clear on the being’s form.
Glowing white fingers tap on a wooden desk as time ticks by. “Well,” the CEO demands, “Out with it.”
The man stutters to get his words out, “Well, uh, Mr. Disappointment sir, the Doom Patrol have escaped their new series.”
Mr. Disappointment slams his hands down on the desk, the quivering man pissing himself at the noise, “How is that possible? No one escapes Retconn!”
Meekly, the man responds, “I-It was Ambush Bug. He showed up to each of their reboots and teleported them out of there.”
Mr. Disappointment rises out of his seat, “I knew that pest would get in our way. I did say that, didn't I?”
Not knowing if the CEO did say it, but not wanting to contradict him, the man responds, “Oh yes sir. I remember you saying it clearly sir.”
Mr. Disappointment ignores the employee as he continues, “But the board ensured me that the little self aware main character wouldn’t be an issue. That there was no way for him to escape back into the multiverse proper.”
The man fervently nods along until Mr. Disappointment stops. Knowing he has to get Mr. Disappointment’s signature, and that this is his best chance, the man pushes, “Sir, we have a strike team waiting to recapture the Doom Patrol and mindwipe them of the whole situation.”
Mr. Disappointment nods, or what the man assumes is a nod, and gestures to bring the papers over. As the CEO grabs a pen, he stops himself, “This is going to be expensive isn’t it?”
Not waiting for a response, Mr. Disappointment continues, “And then we will need to pay set designers to build a whole new fake world for them, and writers to plan out personalities and create new side characters. Don’t even get me started on the cost of building fake people to flesh out the supporting cast.”
Putting down his pen, Mr. Disappointment makes a decision, “They are doing most of the job for us. We don’t have to create personalities or conflicts as those are built into everyday life. All we got to do is record it, maybe throw a villain or two down to that earth to beat up, and boom we got a reality show. Call it, Dallying along with the Doom Patrol or something like that.”
Getting more excited from the idea, Mr. Disappointment finishes his thought, “Hell, if the show has appearances by other heroes on their earth and the audience likes them, we can send down more cameras to their reality and make another show for essentially free.”
The employee curses himself, he doesn’t want to make Mr. Disappointment upset, but the flaw in his plan seems clear, “Ambush Bug escaped because he didn’t want to be on a show? What will stop him from trying to stop this new show?”
Mr. Disappointment answers, “That’s the best part. They won’t realize it is a show. To them, we are sending villains to capture them and bring them back here. They won’t know it is being recorded for the enjoyment of multiversal beings.”
Mr. Disappointment snaps his fingers, “Go get me the paperwork needed to make this new show idea a reality.”
The employee runs out of the room leaving Mr. Disappointment alone. Doing the equivalent of a smile that he can do on his mouthless face, Mr. Disappointment says to himself, “Looks like the Doom Patrol are returning to Earth 621.”

Barely containing the fury laced into his voice, Perry responds, “We need to talk.”

It’s not that Niles doesn’t feel guilty for his actions, but its that the good of the many sometimes outweighs the good of the few. A new Negativeman was needed, especially if Niles is correct about himself not being a part of this world any longer.
Niles turns back to his screens, but instead of looking at the security cameras, he pulls up an old show, a superhero cartoon called Ambush Bug. He watches one of the eleven minute episodes of the fourth wall breaking hero where the hero defeats a villain with his signature teleportation powers.
The whole time Niles watches the room from the corner of his eyes. Seeing a shadow move, he smiles, it’s time.
Niles calls out, “Come out Irwin, I believe it is time for us to go.”

Midway City, a dumping ground for the worst of the worst. It’s a city infested by the low life of the world, gangs and villains control the six boroughs that make up the city, gang wars constant. For one Larry Trainor, this is his haunt. It’s been a year since he returned to the city, and in that time he’s been busy.
Larry watches from up in the night sky a series of men walking something off the boat. These men work for the Puzzler, the newest in a series of villains who have tried making Midway their territory. Larry though has a personal desire to see Puzzler defeated. Since setting up shop in Midway, Puzzler has gone on to do a series of increasingly violent attacks, each one leaving a puzzle to be solved that will give a hint to his next crime. Puzzler has made it clear, the attacks only end when the puzzle of who Negativeman is has a solution.
One of the men is barely able to hold onto his box of weapons, his arms shaking so much. A small stutter in his voice, he asks out loud, “W-What happens if Negativeman shows up?”

Behind Larry, Irwin and Niles appears, the other men either bleeding to death from the shrapnel, or long gone by now.
Niles looks at the carnage. He knows the universe reboots the personalities inside the shows to make them work with the universe, but it is still hard for him to see the Larry Trainor he knew being behind this type of violence. “Are we sure we are in the right show?”
As Larry turns to look at the strange new voice, Irwin responds, “Despite looking like something Rob Liefeld or Frank Miller would imagine, I can assure you this is the right place. My best guess is that they wanted a dark and edgy reimagining of the characters.”

Two years ago, my husband and I tried to extend our business into the field of clean energy using a specially devised Particle Accelerator. Everything went wrong though when a recently fired scientist named Jonathan Dubrovy sabotaged our invention, leading to the Particle Accelerator exploding. Since that night, metahumans have begun to pop up all over Midway City, created by the very dark matter that our machine gave off. To make up for our companies’ mistakes, and save the people of the city, I began to fight crime using my new ability to stretch my limbs to lengths once thought impossible. I became, Elastigirl.
—----------------------------
Rita walks into the old Mento Labs, her arm stretched out and dragging behind her. Entering the main lab where Steven is waiting for her, she asks, “What happened?”
One of the other scientists working with the duo responds, “Dubrovy seems to have figured out a way to create essentially an air acid. It burned through the elasticity of your arm, leaving it to collapse under its own weight. It should heal soon enough, but it seems like Dubrovy isn’t going to be able to be taken down through merely stretching.”
Another one of the scientists goes, “It’s insane, including this new compound, we have seen him control 104 unique elements.”
The first scientist snaps his fingers, “Mr. 104, that’s a good villain name.”
Getting his crew back on track, Steven asks, “Is there any possible way for us to counteract the effects of the new element? Possibly a chemical compound or something?”
Leaving the three scientists to talk, Rita leaves the room, her arm continuing to drag behind her. In moments like this, she curses that she went into advertising and marketing in college. It’s hard to be the only one in a room not understanding what the others are talking about.
Slowly, she makes her way through the hallway to the visitor area of the labs. Before she can pass the hidden supply closet where Jonathan hid all his plans to sabotage the Particle Accelerator, Steven runs after her, catching up with her in the hallway.”
“Hey,” he asks, concern clear on his face, “Are you okay?”
Rita turns around, wincing from the pain of moving her outstretched arm, “Yea. It’s just…it’s crazy. Since the accident, it's like the world has turned on its head, it’s like this isn’t even the world we are from anymore.”
Steven kisses Rita on the head, “I know how you feel, I feel it too. Like everything is changing faster than we can keep up.”
Rita nods, “I’m just scared that nothing will be the same.”
Holding Rita in his arms, Steven replies, “As long as we are together, we can weather anything.”
As the two hold each other, the lights around them begin to figure as three figures enter the building.
Doom Patrol Go Presents:
Pancakes
Created By: u/DarkLordJurasusProduced By: u/MajorParadox and u/ericthepilot2000
With the so far acquired members of the Doom Patrol, Irwin prepares for one more jump. Grabbing a hold of Larry, Niles, Steven, and Rita, Irwin focuses his mind on Robotman before teleporting away.
The whole team arrives in a giant tower, childlike versions of the team running around. In the corner, child Steven is running away from child Rita yelling about Cooties, while at a table, child Larry is tugging over a pizza box with a child version of Niles Caulder.
A full size version of Robotman sits there, entirely motionless until he sees the team. Immediately, he begins to move, saying, “Thank god you guys are here. I don’t think I could have taken these buggers singing about pancakes one more time before I lost whatever the AI equivalent of sanity is.”
As Robotman walks over to the group, child Niles who must have been listening to Robotman pipes up, “Pancakes?”
Suddenly, all four children begin to sing the word pancake over and over again, their key entirely off.
Holding onto all of the Doom Patrol, Irwin jumps out, not before Robotman yells, “Sayonara you Nick Jr. rejects.”
Doom Patrol #3- Rebooted
Author: u/DarkLordJurasusBook: Doom Patrol
Arc: Another Superhero Story?
Set: 83
A Retconn Production
Somewhere out of reality, a quivering man waits to be able to talk to the CEO of the largest television production company in the entire multiverse. The man knocks on the tinted glass door, papers shaking in his other hand. He knows the CEO won’t be happy with the news, and the one who brings the CEO bad news is liable to become the main character of their own show, usually a horror-thriller with a lot of gore and torture porn involved.
An echoey voice, one ethereal in tone, booms out, “Come in.”
The man walks in, legs almost giving out with each step he takes into the room. He stares into the white void given form that is the CEO. The man looks near where he hopes the CEO’s eyes are, no distinct physical features clear on the being’s form.
Glowing white fingers tap on a wooden desk as time ticks by. “Well,” the CEO demands, “Out with it.”
The man stutters to get his words out, “Well, uh, Mr. Disappointment sir, the Doom Patrol have escaped their new series.”
Mr. Disappointment slams his hands down on the desk, the quivering man pissing himself at the noise, “How is that possible? No one escapes Retconn!”
Meekly, the man responds, “I-It was Ambush Bug. He showed up to each of their reboots and teleported them out of there.”
Mr. Disappointment rises out of his seat, “I knew that pest would get in our way. I did say that, didn't I?”
Not knowing if the CEO did say it, but not wanting to contradict him, the man responds, “Oh yes sir. I remember you saying it clearly sir.”
Mr. Disappointment ignores the employee as he continues, “But the board ensured me that the little self aware main character wouldn’t be an issue. That there was no way for him to escape back into the multiverse proper.”
The man fervently nods along until Mr. Disappointment stops. Knowing he has to get Mr. Disappointment’s signature, and that this is his best chance, the man pushes, “Sir, we have a strike team waiting to recapture the Doom Patrol and mindwipe them of the whole situation.”
Mr. Disappointment nods, or what the man assumes is a nod, and gestures to bring the papers over. As the CEO grabs a pen, he stops himself, “This is going to be expensive isn’t it?”
Not waiting for a response, Mr. Disappointment continues, “And then we will need to pay set designers to build a whole new fake world for them, and writers to plan out personalities and create new side characters. Don’t even get me started on the cost of building fake people to flesh out the supporting cast.”
Putting down his pen, Mr. Disappointment makes a decision, “They are doing most of the job for us. We don’t have to create personalities or conflicts as those are built into everyday life. All we got to do is record it, maybe throw a villain or two down to that earth to beat up, and boom we got a reality show. Call it, Dallying along with the Doom Patrol or something like that.”
Getting more excited from the idea, Mr. Disappointment finishes his thought, “Hell, if the show has appearances by other heroes on their earth and the audience likes them, we can send down more cameras to their reality and make another show for essentially free.”
The employee curses himself, he doesn’t want to make Mr. Disappointment upset, but the flaw in his plan seems clear, “Ambush Bug escaped because he didn’t want to be on a show? What will stop him from trying to stop this new show?”
Mr. Disappointment answers, “That’s the best part. They won’t realize it is a show. To them, we are sending villains to capture them and bring them back here. They won’t know it is being recorded for the enjoyment of multiversal beings.”
Mr. Disappointment snaps his fingers, “Go get me the paperwork needed to make this new show idea a reality.”
The employee runs out of the room leaving Mr. Disappointment alone. Doing the equivalent of a smile that he can do on his mouthless face, Mr. Disappointment says to himself, “Looks like the Doom Patrol are returning to Earth 621.”
2023.04.02 05:00 DonMarquez Homeless chemical engineer for three years, I feel like I've been stuck in the same Twilight Zone episode that won't end.
Well it has been a little over three years. Ever since the tornadoes hit here in Cookeville around the first week of March, I've been homeless.
I've lived in Miami almost all of my life. My family fled El Salvador when I was about two due to the civil war that started in the late 70's. I had a pretty good childhood for the most part. My father returned to El Salvador when I was about four or five, so I had my mom and my grandfather who raised me. Both of them instilled an interest in science and mathematics. My grandfather focused on the math part and my mom introduced me to the science part. Some examples would be math books (outside of school), dinosaurs, space, chemistry sets, LEGO to name a few. I still remember my first LEGO which was a rocket launcher with a spaceman. As a kid I loved Reading Rainbow and enjoyed going to places like the Miami Dade Main Library as well as the Seaquarium and the Planetarium.
Fast forward to 2003 and I graduate with a B.S. in chemical engineering with a minor in biomedical engineering. I feel like I've lived two separate lives. Things were going fine until a couple of years after graduating from college. My mom developed severe pain in the abdominal area, especially when going to the bathroom. She was reluctant (at least initially) to go see her doctor. When she finally did, it was discovered that she had colon cancer. She fought like a warrior for roughly seven years. The last two years up to her death were extremely painful and I don't recall ever sleeping well those two years. I remember her waking me up to go early to King Jesus Ministries a couple of times throughout the week for early morning prayer especially during the advanced stages of the cancer. I remember it would be before sunrise, and just hearing her scream in the car as we would go to church will be something that will always haunt me.
She fought all the way to the end; she kept on working till four months before her passing when she entered hospice care. I still remember the last time she was able to stand up, because it was probably the fourth or fifth time, I've seen her cry. She asked me to forgive her for always living in poverty. I was thrown aback by that statement and told her that I didn't feel that way. She always gave her best; I will always remember the sacrifices she made, and it is part of the reason I keep going.
She passed on February 8th, 2014, at 6 a.m. in the morning. I remember the nurse waking me up and telling me that she just passed. I ran to the room yelling at my mom to please wake up, it wasn't until several minutes of shock and the nurse helping me getting out of that shock that I realized. I gave her one last hug telling her three promises that I was going to keep. I was going to try and continue and grow to be a better Christian (which has been a rollercoaster of a ride), I was going to exercise in either the chemical or biomedical engineering field, and lastly, I was going to give her grandkids.
I would say about two or three months pass and as I was driving from Sunrise going home, all of a sudden, a see this grey circular "curtain" around my left eye. I ended up having retinal detachment on my left eye and a few months after that on my right followed by cataract surgeries due to the pressure from the retinal detachment procedures. That whole ordeal took over half a year between the incidents and fully recovering.
I should have moved to Texas. After recovering, I estimate it was about two years since I was able to find any type of professional employment. I wanted to move to Texas after I graduated, but I stayed in Miami to take care of my mom, which I don't regret. The second time would have been around this time, but a friend of mine was able to connect me to his friends in Tullahoma who owned a restaurant. He told me "Look you haven't worked in two years; I know some folks that can help you get back on your feet. It is a restaurant; they will take care of lunch and dinner and you only have to pay for gas and water; no rent for up to six months while you get yourself back on your feet." I took that offer because it was a huge safety net moving to a state without any connections. I wonder if it would be considered going full circle since I did go to Vanderbilt University for a year in 99-00.
I moved to Tullahoma towards the end of 2015 and to Cookeville towards the end of 2016. I met my ex-wife in Cookeville in 2017. Big mistake. We were dating for two years, and married two years; so, in total four years before we divorced. Everything went downhill after the marriage from lies that she could have kids, from being a legal immigrant, to finally cheating on me and kicking me out the week after the tornadoes hit on the first week of March 2020.
I've been slowly crawling out of a 30k debt. I've already paid off 26k of it off. Work here after the pandemic started has been less than ideal with taking on assignments from temp agencies that has nothing to do with my degrees, and on top of it having arthritis doesn't help with most of the jobs offered are heavy-labored type of jobs. I've been through the UCHRA program (which lasted two years), the Rescue Mission, couch surfing from a couple of friends to my current home: a storage unit.
You know, I've asked this question to hundreds of people. Do you know anyone who is an American citizen with a STEM degree who has gone through "half" of what I've gone through?
Over a dozen accidents, four major eye surgeries, currently living in a storage unit and not due to self-harm: examples such as no smoking, no drugs, no alcohol, no cheating, no gambling. Only one time in my life did I want to take my own life. This was around Fall of 2020 and I was walking from work and saw a 16-wheeler coming down the road and said to God "You know what, this is a good time to end my story." I never felt that rush of cold darkness just surrounds you instantly looking into what seemed like an abyss without end. But for some reason I had an instant flashback of me holding my mom and remembering the three promises I told her.
I've always loved looking at the constellations and planets. It always gave me a sense of peace. What has reignited my passion and hopefully work in my field are projects that NASA and SpaceX are doing. Samsung is opening a brand new 17-billion-dollar facility in Taylor, TX. You got stuff going on with Open AI, Chat GPT to name a few. In regard to science and engineering, it is definitely an exciting time to be alive: but I'm hoping I can contribute one way or another in the short amount of time I have left and not just looking from the sidelines.
I'm planning on moving to Austin, TX by the end of this month or next month. This will be my third attempt, and I will make it. This time without any safety net, but I have to take the risk. High risk, high rewards, right? In any case I want to thank the people who will read this. If you have any questions, I will be happy to answer them. And yes, I didn't realize that my cake day was 8 years ago today. Go figure. Maybe this Twilight Zone episode will end, with the credits finally scrolling so I can finally enter a new chapter in my life in Texas. El Psy Congroo.

I moved to Tullahoma towards the end of 2015 and to Cookeville towards the end of 2016. I met my ex-wife in Cookeville in 2017. Big mistake. We were dating for two years, and married two years; so, in total four years before we divorced. Everything went downhill after the marriage from lies that she could have kids, from being a legal immigrant, to finally cheating on me and kicking me out the week after the tornadoes hit on the first week of March 2020.
I've been slowly crawling out of a 30k debt. I've already paid off 26k of it off. Work here after the pandemic started has been less than ideal with taking on assignments from temp agencies that has nothing to do with my degrees, and on top of it having arthritis doesn't help with most of the jobs offered are heavy-labored type of jobs. I've been through the UCHRA program (which lasted two years), the Rescue Mission, couch surfing from a couple of friends to my current home: a storage unit.
You know, I've asked this question to hundreds of people. Do you know anyone who is an American citizen with a STEM degree who has gone through "half" of what I've gone through?
Over a dozen accidents, four major eye surgeries, currently living in a storage unit and not due to self-harm: examples such as no smoking, no drugs, no alcohol, no cheating, no gambling. Only one time in my life did I want to take my own life. This was around Fall of 2020 and I was walking from work and saw a 16-wheeler coming down the road and said to God "You know what, this is a good time to end my story." I never felt that rush of cold darkness just surrounds you instantly looking into what seemed like an abyss without end. But for some reason I had an instant flashback of me holding my mom and remembering the three promises I told her.
I've always loved looking at the constellations and planets. It always gave me a sense of peace. What has reignited my passion and hopefully work in my field are projects that NASA and SpaceX are doing. Samsung is opening a brand new 17-billion-dollar facility in Taylor, TX. You got stuff going on with Open AI, Chat GPT to name a few. In regard to science and engineering, it is definitely an exciting time to be alive: but I'm hoping I can contribute one way or another in the short amount of time I have left and not just looking from the sidelines.
I'm planning on moving to Austin, TX by the end of this month or next month. This will be my third attempt, and I will make it. This time without any safety net, but I have to take the risk. High risk, high rewards, right? In any case I want to thank the people who will read this. If you have any questions, I will be happy to answer them. And yes, I didn't realize that my cake day was 8 years ago today. Go figure. Maybe this Twilight Zone episode will end, with the credits finally scrolling so I can finally enter a new chapter in my life in Texas. El Psy Congroo.
2023.04.02 00:50 Semaj2022 I love the inspiration I received from just this one car alone lol.
•RE-UPLOAD• **Inspirational credit for this car goes to @skylercurtisfox **
It pains me that my main xbox account is frozen and my previous cars are practically dead to rights at the time of the evolution to the "What If" series im running..but oh well, the show must go on 🤦♂️🤷♂️.
On this rerun episode of "What If"; we take a look back in the most hyped times in @nascar when Dale Earnhardt Jr was either going to remain at the pioneered stables of DEI/Dale Earnhardt Inc or take his talents elsewhere. What if he had remained at DEI, had full operational experience & was able to fully solidify the succession with a couple driver championships as well as running the stable? What If Budweiser stayed on as a primary or secondary source of sponsorship for June bug as Amp Energy would be coming on board akin to Budweiser &he was would then have the longest time running with them? What if in that time of allied teams becoming one housed in one to that of RCR rather Chip Ganasi Racing at that time? What If in this reality everything became as it were to be, just a little minor of a tweak thrown in there..

Daisy Jones & the Six Episodes
Episode 1: Track 1: Come and Get It (Mar 03, 2023) – Daisy Jones is a disaffected teenager who finds meaning in the Sunset Strip rock scene. In suburban Pennsylvania, Billy Dunne, his brother Graham, and their best friends Eddie and Warren form a band, desperate to escape their surroundings. When Billy and Daisy meet, her talent and his ambition will combine to change all of their lives, for better and worse. This is the story of what happened.
Episode 2: Track 2: I’ll Take You There (Mar 03, 2023) – Having found her voice, Daisy navigates the LA music scene–with the guidance of her close friend Simone and legendary producer Teddy Price. Now in LA and with keyboardist Karen Sirko, the Dunne Brothers band experience their own challenges trying to make it. After a chance encounter with Teddy offers hope, the band is heartbroken to find Billy’s demons threatening to overpower his potential.
Episode 3: Track 3: Someone Saved My Life Tonight (Mar 03, 2023) – A newly-sober Billy tries to balance his artistic calling with his familial responsibility as the rest of the band pick up the pieces in the wake of a disastrous tour. Meanwhile Daisy finds it far more difficult to write music when there are expectations. When Billy writes a new song, Teddy realizes that a collaboration between the two songwriters might just be the answer to all of their problems.
Episode 4: Track 4: I Saw The Light (Mar 10, 2023) – The Six get a taste of the life they’ve been working towards when their collaboration with Daisy becomes a hit. Rather than defuse the friction between co-songwriters, this only exacerbates it — until Camila negotiates peace. Meanwhile, Graham wrestles with whether to profess his feelings for Karen at a house party in the Canyon, knowing that a wrong move could threaten the survival of the band.
Episode 5: Track 5: Fire (Mar 10, 2023) – Fresh off their newly-acquired fame and success, Daisy Jones & The Six gear up to record their first album together. However, when Billy and Daisy prove unwilling to collaborate on each other’s material, they have no choice but to try and write something from the ground up together. This proves more challenging than either expected. Meanwhile, Karen sees a new side of Graham during a beach trip.
Episode 6: Track 6: Whatever Gets You Thru The Night (Mar 10, 2023) – The band records their seminal album“Aurora,” the heart of which is the always complicated but typically fruitful collaboration between Billy and Daisy. As their working relationship intensifies, their personal relationship threatens to completely implode, causing Daisy to make an impulsive decision. Meanwhile, Camila harbors a secret of her own.
Episode 7: Track 7: She’s Gone (Mar 17, 2023) – As her relationship with Bernie deepens, Simone struggles to come to terms with her identity while finding her voice in the nascent disco scene of New York City. A telegram from Daisy suggests she’s in trouble and Simone drops everything to rescue her. What she finds isn’t exactly what she expected.
Episode 8: Track 8: Looks Like We Made It (Mar 17, 2023) – As the Aurora tour begins, the band — now reunited with Daisy Jones — must come to terms with their meteoric rise to superstardom. With tension between Billy and Daisy at an all-time high, Billy’s frustration simmers to a boil while Daisy’s self-destructive habits turn tragic. Meanwhile Karen and Graham’s secret is revealed.
Episode 9: Track 9: Feels Like the First Time (Mar 24, 2023) – Her spirit broken, Daisy struggles to perform during their appearance on SNL, finding comfort in the last person she expects. After a triumphant return to their hometown Pittsburgh, the band is given a heroes’ welcome. But antipathy among the members clouds their performance and threatens their future. Meanwhile, Graham and Karen’s romance is threatened when Karen must make a difficult decision.
Episode 10: Track 10: Rock N Roll Suicide (Mar 24, 2023) – In what will become their final performance, Daisy Jones & The Six perform to a sold-out crowd at Soldier Field in Chicago, Illinois. This is the story of that fateful day — and how their lives were forever changed as a result.

2023.04.01 21:36 dogglesnake ChocoPro 303 🍫 Need a bit more wrestling this weekend? How about Smiling Violence, Monsters, and Ryuichi Sekine & Mochi Natsumi VS EGG TART (Chie Koishikawa & Hagane Shinno)! Tonight at 11 pm EDT, Live & Free on YouTube
ChocoPro 303: Egg ResTart It’s ChocoMania weekend! Tonight’s solitary episode features some rare combinations: Sayaka takes on Masa in singles, the Utility Players face off against the forces of UMA (including Nightmare Factory’s Kojio!), and EGG TART finally reforms to battle two of the wildest Ichigaya has ever housed. Let’s Go, ChocoPro!
🍫 CLICK HERE FOR THE LINK! ChocoPro 303 🍫 Sayaka VS Masa Takanashi, Choun Shiryu & Shin Suzuki VS Sayaka Obihiro & Kojio, Ryuichi Sekine & Mochi Natsumi VS EGG TART (Chie Koishikawa & Hagane Shinno)! It airs TONIGHT at 11 pm EDT / 8 pm PDT (Tomorrow at 4 am BST, 12 pm JST). Live and Free on YouTube!
Drunken Monkey Masa Takanashi is ready for anything! The belt collecting president of Gatoh Move is known for racking up wins as much as he does bar tabs, representing many companies with a swagger and slick technique that will have you questioning just how tipsy he is! The Counter Fighter of ChocoPro baits his opponents into reversals and trickery that will have them staring at the lights or tapping out in quick fashion. He’s got a lot of tricks up his sleeve, but will he be able to handle overwhelming power? Takanashi had better keep up that fancy footwork or he’ll find himself hammered into oblivion! OrePan might have been fended off once by CDK, but Sayaka is still aiming for that big win.
Fresh off an appearance at GanJo, Sayaka Obihiro is cool as hell! With a deep sense of humor and lightning quick striking & pinning techniques, Obi rules...but she is a bit...different...when she teams with Monsters. The charismatic full time chef has got a great set of flame gear and an intense uncontrollable style. Even if she’s gone feral, you'll find yourself enchanted by her brash nature and wild antics! Strange and occult happenings are somewhat common in Ichigaya, and the mysterious organization known as UMA features many monsters that just so happen to wrestle. Horrors from across the world are attracted to ChocoPro due to their influence...Speaking of which, a cold wind brings a shadow over Ichigaya once again! Hailing from Parts Unknown and trained at the Nightmare Factory (which makes even more sense given that sinister look!), kojio’s frightening presence made him fit right in with the other Monsters of UMA. With brawling brutality, vicious submissions, and an absolutely wicked set of gear that makes him look like a character straight from a comic book, kojio scares his opponents and impresses the audience with his relentless nature and bone chilling aura. That laugh is something else! This unstoppable monster has been a wonderful addition to Ichigaya, but how long will he accept Obi taking pinfalls? I wouldn’t want to upset him!
It has been a long time, but they’re back together! Chie Koishikawa & Hagane Shinno, the combination known as EGG TART, are a hot and cold team. Opposites definitely attract, and the polar attraction results in some of the craziest team attacks you will ever witness! “Too Much Energy” Chie brings an uncontrollable excitement wherever she goes (including recently GanJo), sprinting around the Square and delivering lightning quick striking...often from the air! Her tightly locked Stretch Mufflers and eye catching arm drags will have you shouting as much as she does. The Frantic Fencer is one of the most popular characters in all of ChocoPro! Her Wintery partner on the other hand is a remorseless killing machine...and the Super Asia Champion! Hagane’s icy ferocity usually brings about ugly thuds via heavy striking and brutal slams. The “Cold Killer” earned his epithet by easily dispatching some of the best the promotion has to offer! This ageless assassin only shows emotion around his chaotic partner...and together they amplify one another’s personality! These two have limitless potential, and now that Hagane has the Big Blue Belt they will also have limitless enemies looking for an opportunity!
Enjoy all the wrestling this weekend!
Come and see the wild creativity that produced Two of the Seven AEW Women's World Champions! (Both of which have appeared on ChocoPro!) You'll be wondering if you're seeing future champs, as well. ChocoPro is the Frontier of Pro Wrestling! Match after match of hard hitting, chaotic, fun bouts with a friendly online audience. We're quickly growing, and you're welcome to come along!

VS
Masa Takanashi 🍶
Violence & Booze
“I'm gonna kill you! Yayyyyy!” While she has become infamous for her unsettling quotes, “Smiling Violence” Sayaka is known more for her ungodly brutal striking power. Those explosion like forearms stagger even the toughest opponents in Ichigaya! Add in Sayaka’s pin point dropkicking ability and her growing talent in pins and submissions, and Masa might find that the rising Twitch star is just too much to handle. Sayaka’s unnerving cheerfulness while she does vicious things provides her with a big presence in the square. That unattached joy will eventually be the stuff of legends! (After all, she’s “happy to beat someone”!) Don't forget, Sayaka hangs out around Minoru Suzuki and survives to tell the tale! Will we see a Hammer of the Gods? This photogenic phenom is on the rise, keep an eye on her!Drunken Monkey Masa Takanashi is ready for anything!

He’s got a lot of tricks up his sleeve, but will he be able to handle overwhelming power? Takanashi had better keep up that fancy footwork or he’ll find himself hammered into oblivion! OrePan might have been fended off once by CDK, but Sayaka is still aiming for that big win.
Choun Shiryu 🐉 & Shin Suzuki 🍙
VS
UMA+ (Sayaka Obihiro 💙 & KOJIO 💀)
Utility, Monsters, Action!
Monsters? “So what!?” Choun Shiryu is here! The Dragon of ChocoPro is a Wuxia hero (having done some of the most spectacular acts in Ichigaya) with his own fantastic flair! He is one of the most legitimate forces in the promotion. This Kung Fu master boasts a truly unique fighting style, pulling off action movie stunts you’ll not find elsewhere. While his usual partner is taking some time away from wrestling, (though Ninja Sayuri is still behind the scenes, as is tradition!) this time his partner is fellow utility player Shin Suzuki! Shin is always ready to go! His warm personality and intense athleticism fit well with the general vibe of Ichigaya...and honestly, his knack for dealing with kids (as a proud father) comes in handy in this den of goblins and monsters! Shin & Choun both mesh well with just about any pairing, so expect these two to sync together with machine precision once again. Can speed and teamwork overcome this Arkham Horror?Fresh off an appearance at GanJo, Sayaka Obihiro is cool as hell! With a deep sense of humor and lightning quick striking & pinning techniques, Obi rules...but she is a bit...different...when she teams with Monsters. The charismatic full time chef has got a great set of flame gear and an intense uncontrollable style. Even if she’s gone feral, you'll find yourself enchanted by her brash nature and wild antics! Strange and occult happenings are somewhat common in Ichigaya, and the mysterious organization known as UMA features many monsters that just so happen to wrestle. Horrors from across the world are attracted to ChocoPro due to their influence...Speaking of which, a cold wind brings a shadow over Ichigaya once again! Hailing from Parts Unknown and trained at the Nightmare Factory (which makes even more sense given that sinister look!), kojio’s frightening presence made him fit right in with the other Monsters of UMA. With brawling brutality, vicious submissions, and an absolutely wicked set of gear that makes him look like a character straight from a comic book, kojio scares his opponents and impresses the audience with his relentless nature and bone chilling aura. That laugh is something else! This unstoppable monster has been a wonderful addition to Ichigaya, but how long will he accept Obi taking pinfalls? I wouldn’t want to upset him!
Ryuichi Sekine 🐗 & Mochi Natsumi 🍡
VS
EGG TART (Chie Koishikawa 🏵️ & Hagane Shinno ⚔️)
Egg ResTart
A returning team up 12 years apart!? Pairing up Mochi Natsumi and Ryuichi Sekine is like putting two different kinds of explosives together. While the Rebellious Hardcore & Deathmatch Unit known as PROMINENCE has a lot of exciting members busy all over the place, Mochi has been killing it in Ichigaya. She is a dark clad fiery personality with an undeniable raw charisma. Her shocking moments of brutality are some of my favorites in the whole series. A well balanced strength and agility fighter with a good sense of humor will always thrive in Ichigaya, but Mochi has fit in as if she was always there...the same can also be said for Sekine! While he took time off to focus on his farming (and to get married to TJPW’s recently retired Nodoka Tenma), he is just as dangerous as he always was! He just also sells Rice Cakes now. Sekine is a loud, wild, completely chaotic element when it comes to Ichigaya. He’s known for obliterating stools and the environment alike! This violent farmer would stop at nothing to entertain the audience, unleashing a volatile way of fighting that usually ends with the opponent locked into the Combine. Much like his emoji (the wild boar), expect Sekine to rampage maniacally through ChocoPro once again. Good thing Mochi is always up for a good rampage! With these two together, be careful not to be overwhelmed by their wild energy and charm!It has been a long time, but they’re back together! Chie Koishikawa & Hagane Shinno, the combination known as EGG TART, are a hot and cold team. Opposites definitely attract, and the polar attraction results in some of the craziest team attacks you will ever witness! “Too Much Energy” Chie brings an uncontrollable excitement wherever she goes (including recently GanJo), sprinting around the Square and delivering lightning quick striking...often from the air! Her tightly locked Stretch Mufflers and eye catching arm drags will have you shouting as much as she does. The Frantic Fencer is one of the most popular characters in all of ChocoPro! Her Wintery partner on the other hand is a remorseless killing machine...and the Super Asia Champion! Hagane’s icy ferocity usually brings about ugly thuds via heavy striking and brutal slams. The “Cold Killer” earned his epithet by easily dispatching some of the best the promotion has to offer! This ageless assassin only shows emotion around his chaotic partner...and together they amplify one another’s personality! These two have limitless potential, and now that Hagane has the Big Blue Belt they will also have limitless enemies looking for an opportunity!
Enjoy all the wrestling this weekend!
Come and see the wild creativity that produced Two of the Seven AEW Women's World Champions! (Both of which have appeared on ChocoPro!) You'll be wondering if you're seeing future champs, as well. ChocoPro is the Frontier of Pro Wrestling! Match after match of hard hitting, chaotic, fun bouts with a friendly online audience. We're quickly growing, and you're welcome to come along!
Here are some Frequently Asked Questions:
“What is this?”
ChocoPro is a free online promotion run by AEW's Emi Sakura, that takes place in the legendary Ichigaya Chocolate Square! It features a steady pace of live Episode releases, fan interaction, season long story arcs, and much more! A place where the turnbuckles are replaced with 14th floor windows, the ropes are often replaced with fans, unforgiving walls provide creative avenues for skills otherwise unthinkable, and you can take solace in knowing that the referees usually do nothing. While it might be a shocking change at first, the intensity and storytelling will leave you wanting more.“Why are they fighting in ____?”
Short answer is that it is a cost effective, unique venue with a better availability schedule and allows the roster access for training. Emi Sakura has been using this place for a long time, and you might be surprised at some of the names that have used it (even outside of ChocoPro!). There are a few in-ring Episodes and Gatoh Move has in ring shows with crowds on the YouTube channel. Think of it like the Hart Dungeon but as a promotion, if that helps!”What are the rules?”
While special match stipulations will usually be explained before the respective matches, the general rules of ChocoPro are simple. Pins only count on the Chocolate Mat and are not broken by the edge or Wall. Submissions usually only count on the Chocolate Mat, and ARE broken by reaching the edge or wall (sometimes ceiling...). Double pins and Double submissions are legal (and encouraged) in ChocoPro Tag matches, meaning cohesive teams will always have the advantage! Count Outs only exist if specified, since many matches stray from the comfort of the Chocolate Square into the streets (and the rest of the building itself!) There is a Time Limit for each bout (based on card placement and importance) and the Referee has discretion (even if they tend to do nothing most of the time!). Every Ref is different, some have different levels of bias and speed.“How can I support them?”
Watch the show! Even if you can't see it live, the views matter! Like & Subscribe! You can join the Channel's membership for different tiers of perks...but also, you can buy single episode Sponsorship, Digital autographed photos, and more on their shop site as well as purchase shirts from PWTees (which features some great options!) If you'd like to donate or purchase a main wall sponsorship, you can via Paypal or Patreon...and don't forget to cheer for your favorites! (especially if you want to do a superchat!)”How come there aren’t a lot of comments on the threads?”
ChocoPro is a YouTube show, meaning the discourse happens live...in the chat! Those that comment in the threads on here tend to do so in order to help new viewers that might be intimidated by the fast moving chat. Don’t be afraid to just dive in though, the community is friendly.“Why are you posting this here? / Are you paid for this?”
This is a wrestling forum, and I'm trying to broaden the horizons of others! There is a lot of good wrestling out there...Plus growing the fan base means more people for me to joke around with! I honestly do believe this is what a lot of fans are looking for, even if it is too different for some! But different tastes are good. Variety is the spice of life. This is a labor of love (it really doesn't take that long) considering how much work they do to put on so many shows...for free!If you have any other questions, feel free to ask me on here or on Twitter, where I’m April Foolin’! ChocoPro is full of Mania!

2023.04.01 20:59 DevVrat08 Anime Suggestion - part 2
 | Are you looking for your next anime binge-watch? Look no further! Here is a list of anime recommendations that cover a variety of genres and themes. From action-packed Shonen anime to heartwarming romance stories and thought-provoking dramas, there's something for everyone. Get ready to immerse yourself in the captivating worlds and characters of these anime series and films. So grab some snacks and settle in for an anime marathon! submitted by DevVrat08 to AnimeBinge [link] [comments]
The anime "Bleach" follows the story of Ichigo Kurosaki, a teenager who becomes a soul reaper, similar to the Grim Reaper, after inheriting his parents' fate and learning from Rukia Kuchiki, another soul reaper. While the series is known for its humor, many people only watch the first episode and miss out on the excellent plot twists and character development throughout the soul society arc. Despite the series' significant amount of filler episodes, approximately forty percent, it remains one of the best anime in terms of dramatic storytelling and sword-fighting action. Don't let the filler episodes discourage you from binge-watching this fantastic series.
"I Want to Eat Your Pancreas" is a heart-wrenching story of a high school boy who finds out that his classmate, Sakura Yamauchi, has a terminal illness. The film portrays their journey together as they learn more about each other and make the most of their limited time. The animation is outstanding, and it's evident that a lot of effort went into making it visually stunning. The storyline isn't predictable, which was a pleasant surprise. Sakura's character is lovable and brings a sense of innocence and love to the movie. She teaches us valuable lessons about love and its ability to bring positivity to the world. The movie has its moments of sadness and can bring tears to your eyes. While some scenes could have been shorter, overall, it was a beautifully crafted movie that is worth watching. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a touching and emotional story.
Tonikaku Kawaii may not be the most exceptional romance anime out there, but it certainly stands out in its genuine and heartwarming portrayal of a loving relationship between the two main characters. The deep affection and reliance they share for each other make their bond all the more endearing to watch. It's refreshing to see the anime waste no time in bringing the couple together, instead of dragging it out until the final episode. The character development is impressive, and even the supporting characters are well-crafted, making it easy to invest in their stories. However, certain aspects of the plot, such as the significance of the protagonist's name and his aspiration to be an astronaut, as well as some unclear character backgrounds, leave some questions unanswered. Hopefully, these issues will be resolved in future seasons or in the source material, the manga. Overall, Tonikaku Kawaii is one of the most enjoyable anime I have watched in a long time, and I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys romantic anime, especially SOLO
Jujutsu Kaisen is a Shonen anime that lives up to the genre's reputation. From the beginning, the series shows promise with its unique plotline. It follows a boy who becomes cursed after swallowing a demon's finger and attends a school for shamans to exorcise himself. While the premise of hunting demons and spirits may not be new, the show executes it well and keeps the viewers engaged. The action scenes are fantastic, and the animation is top-notch. The characters are well-developed, and the initial opening and ending themes add to the overall appeal of the anime. The funk flavour of the tunes is noteworthy. Overall, Jujutsu Kaisen is a solid anime that's definitely worth watching for Shonen fans. A pleasing and intriguing beginning It's hardly surprising that this anime is based on Weekly Shonen Jump. The magazine has frequently inspired manga adaptations that are worth watching. Shonen fans should keep an eye out for this one. Thus far, he has not been disappointed. I'm looking forward to seeing Jujutsu Kaisen during its run.
The premise of Death Parade is intriguing, with the concept of a bar that judges souls after death. However, the show falls short of its potential due to its lackluster characters and underdeveloped world-building. While the opening theme is widely praised, the overall execution of the show leaves something to be desired. It has moments of thought-provoking commentary on life and death, but ultimately feels like a missed opportunity. Despite this, it still manages to be entertaining, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a quick and easy watch.
March Comes in Like a Lion is a slice-of-life anime that tackles mature themes like financial difficulties, loneliness, and depression through the story of a socially awkward 17-year-old orphaned shogi player named Rei. While the pacing is slow, the storytelling is full of emotions, and the animation is top-notch and complements the characters' feelings. The music and sound are also fantastic. The characters are complex and well-developed, making them some of the best in anime. I have watched both the dubbed and subbed versions of the first two seasons and enjoyed both, though I prefer the dubbed version. Overall, I'm excited to see where the story goes next for Rei. Lets end with some info - Japanese animation, commonly referred to as anime, has become a global phenomenon, with fans around the world consuming anime through various mediums such as anime streaming services, manga adaptations, and anime merchandise. Otaku culture, which revolves around anime and manga, has also gained popularity in recent years, with fans attending anime conventions to showcase their cosplay outfits and to meet voice actors from their favorite anime shows. In addition to the anime fandom, there are also websites and YouTube channels dedicated to anime analysis, top anime lists, and anime recommendations. To keep up with the latest happenings in the anime industry, fans can also follow anime news and anime industry updates to stay informed about upcoming anime releases and other related news. |
2023.04.01 20:04 clegay15 March of the Machine Story Reviews: Episodes 1 and 2
Preface
Every story needs to create a setting, and Episodes 1 & 2 perform this task admirably for March of the Machine. Both sides get equal treatment and we relatively painlessly get through some exposition and preparation so we understand what to expect.
Analysis
Episode 1: Triumph of the Fleshless
Episode 1 picks up right where Phyrexia: All Will Be One (One) leaves off, and we see how our remaining heroes appear from Elesh Norn's perspective. On this re-read I noticed a couple things that are crucial for the story. The most important one being just how narcissistic Elesh Norn is, and how dogmatic she is in her beliefs. She truly believes what is best for her is what is best for Phyrexia and she also believes in the inevitable victory of Phyrexia over her enemies. The most telling part coming at the end:
She sends Atraxa to Capenna for the same reason (although, again, Norn never admits this out loud). Norn gives the game away when she tells Atraxa why she is to go to Capenna (emphasis mine):
Secondarily this Episode also sets up side arcs for Elesh Norn's lieutenants. Tamiyo, Nahiri and Lukka are all sent to their home planes to conquer them and bring them into Phyrexia. Norn's intent is to prove the defeat of individualism by sending favored children to their homes and force them to compleat them. While not shown on screen I suspect Vraska was given similar orders.
Overall Episode 1 does a great job showing the strength of Phyrexia and how powerful they are, and how Norn feels she is, in relation to the non-Phyrexians throughout the Multiverse. With Nissa recently compleated Norn has the ability to attack every plane, every being, all at once (heh). Her forces are incredibly numerous, and she has powerful mages now leading them.
Episode II: Holding Your Breath
I am reminded vividly by the scene in Lord of the Rings: the Return of the King where Gandalf tells Pippin that they are in "the deep breath before the plunge." We first get Chandra worrying about her as she anxiously awaits news. She spends time with Wrenn, trying to show her how to tame the fires within her and control the flame; this is a continuation of Jaya attempting to train Chandra on control. It's a nice moment, although it's not one that gets much closure.
The remaining members of the strike team return and explain what happened to Liliana, Vivien, Wrenn and Chandra. Basically: Jace's plan flopped, Phyrexia was prepared for them, and now they've retreated to go home. Tyvar & Kaito both want to return to their home planes to mount a defense (it's why they went to Phyrexia in the first place). Chandra, unlike her friends isn't having it.
The characterization is the strong point of this Episode. Each character gets to display their motivations and its excellent:
-Tyvar & Kaito both want to return home. Tyvar gets to honor the fallen dead (or seemingly fallen dead) and Kaito gets to worry about his friend
-Liliana actually shows some growth, which I like. She immediately decides to return to Strixhaven. Not just for selfish reasons (although that's part of it) but also because she worries about her students. She also tries to console Chandra; a humane touch, in response to Nissa's compleation.
-Vivien stays calm, cool and collected
-Kaya tries to rally the troops
-Chandra lashes out and impulsively wants to return to Phyrexia to rescue whomever remains.
At the end there are two cruxes to the episode: the first is a debate between the many who want to defend their homes/the multiverse and the few who want to try attacking Phyrexia again. This might be the strongest part of the chapter as it pits two reasonable motivations against each other. It is perfectly normal to want to help your friends and not give up on them. On the flip side the motivations for other characters are obvious and clear too:
-Tyvar and Kaito care more about their homes (naturally) than Phyrexia. -Vivian and Kaya are right that returning to Phyrexia is suicide. An attack with 10 planeswalkers and a prepared rebellion of Mirrans and Phyrexians didn't work: Chandra and Wrenn want to return with fewer people and rebel with fewer troops. As we see in later Episodes: it's suicide and only works because of Elspeth and divine intervention.
Instead of consensus the group splits, which sets up other side stories for Kaya, Liliana, & Kaito, while we follow Wrenn and Chandra to Phyrexia.
The second crux of the story is Chandra and Wrenn's plan. Chandra desperately wants to save Nissa and her friends, while Wrenn wants to use Realmbreaker to finish her business with Teferi (and help the tree which is in pain). This is the weaker part of the story to me. For one, I think the Chandra motivations are forced. It's not exactly clear to me why Chandra cares so much for the Mirrans (whom she has never met) and the last we saw of Chandra and Nissa things were...less than stellar. So this motivation never made as much sense to me. Wrenn's motivations make more sense, but I struggle with how a compleated tree is not just...compleated. We know that planeswalkers had to retain a part of their individuality as a condition of staying planeswalkers, but most Phyrexians have basically lost all individuality. The fact part of this tree has remained a tree seems weird to me.
Additionally, the Phyrexian Strike Team should know at this point that bonding with a Phyrexian (without a Deus Ex Machina from Melira) is a dead end: they saw Lukka in the last Episode. Wrenn's plan is set up to fail, barring an intervention she couldn't possibly know about at the time. So the plan is...reckless to say the least.
One final note we get the first appearance of these mysterious watchers who say:
Conclusion and Grade
Overall Episodes 1 and 2 are solid set up pieces. Episode 1 is the stronger of the two, but Episode 2 isn't bad. On re-read: Chandra seems nuts, and Wrenn seems off. Overall I think, in retrospect, using Realmbreaker as the method of returning Zhalfir seems odd. The fact Wrenn succeeds at all is weird. When Wrenn offered to undo the tangle Teferi created I felt it was more an exact tangle, and this feels far more like brute force than what Wrenn hinted at in Innistrad: Midnight Hunt. Here is what Wrenn tells Teferi in that story:

She truly believes what is best for her is what is best for Phyrexia and she also believes in the inevitable victory of Phyrexia over her enemies. The most telling part coming at the end:
With a gesture, she calls for her attendants. They arrive to recite her own thoughts and teachings to her. In their screeching voices, Elesh Norn forgets her nightmares—and the woman who stalks them, cloaked in white.This sets up Elspeth's return fairly well (we'll see other glaring signs towards Elspeth later). Tied to this we see parts of Elesh Norn's worldview and how she plans to use Elspeth's individuality against her: namely by laying traps and distractions for her so Norn can continue her invasion. First, Norn sends Ajani to Theros, and while she ostensibly makes his invasion about claiming the gods, there is another reason why she sent them (Norn never says it out loud):
And pride, too, that he did not discover the real reason she'd sent him to Theros. That's fine enough. Even ignorant of his goal, he'd accomplish it.To me we get the answer loud and clear in future episodes: Ajani is on Theros to distract Elspeth from Phyrexia. Norn despises individuality, and here she is causing Elspeth pain to prevent her from stopping Norn.
She sends Atraxa to Capenna for the same reason (although, again, Norn never admits this out loud). Norn gives the game away when she tells Atraxa why she is to go to Capenna (emphasis mine):
"The reasons are threefold. First: it is a glorious task, and completing it announces your worth to all. Second: your previous life may lend you some protection to this 'Halo.'"This danger will come back to us in Episode 6. Needless to say: Episode 1 largely sets up the stakes at the crux of the story. A hive mind (Phyrexia and Elesh Norn) is attempting to use an individual's weaknesses and desires (Elspeth's) as pawns to protect their invasion.
There are no true silences within the sanctum—but there is something like it as Atraxa waits for the third item, and Norn thinks of how to phrase it.
"Third: there exists a danger to New Phyrexia. In killing New Capenna, we strike at her heart."
Secondarily this Episode also sets up side arcs for Elesh Norn's lieutenants. Tamiyo, Nahiri and Lukka are all sent to their home planes to conquer them and bring them into Phyrexia. Norn's intent is to prove the defeat of individualism by sending favored children to their homes and force them to compleat them. While not shown on screen I suspect Vraska was given similar orders.

One final note we get the first appearance of these mysterious watchers who say:
The watcher is not alone. There are others, too, seeing and yet unseen. The watcher asks one of them: "What is it we're seeing? Why are we here?"I actually don't think we know who they are yet (I do not think they're the angels from Capenna or Serra). But I suspect that if the "Multiverse is changed forever" then this is what is actually going to cause it.
The answer comes like the trumpet of warhorns: We are here to witness the beginning of the end.
Conclusion and Grade
Overall Episodes 1 and 2 are solid set up pieces. Episode 1 is the stronger of the two, but Episode 2 isn't bad. On re-read: Chandra seems nuts, and Wrenn seems off. Overall I think, in retrospect, using Realmbreaker as the method of returning Zhalfir seems odd. The fact Wrenn succeeds at all is weird. When Wrenn offered to undo the tangle Teferi created I felt it was more an exact tangle, and this feels far more like brute force than what Wrenn hinted at in Innistrad: Midnight Hunt. Here is what Wrenn tells Teferi in that story:
"Good. Now, you have to remember that you best undo a tangle by moving through it. There's always an entry point, a place where the branches don't quite interlace. Use that to enter its song. Find the place where it fails to find perfect harmony with itself, and you can unmake it."Hence I suspected Wrenn would help Teferi undo the spell he cast centuries ago. Instead Wrenn winds up forcing Zhalfir back into existence. This doesn't make it bad but it does make it quite different.
Grade: B
2023.04.01 18:03 EnvironmentalOwl4910 DAE cry instead of getting angry? I cry all the time, at the most embarassing things, even when I know the reason I am crying is because I am mad at injustice or because people are being treated like crap. Why can't I get angry?
43 NB (AFAB), ADHD diagnosed a year ago and only beginning to discover the depth of my trauma. I discovered that I didn't just have a Difficult ChildhoodTM around 2017 after an EMDR therapy session. I found myself hyperventilating in my bath when I finally realised that I experienced trauma growing up. I worked with that therapist for about 3 or 4 years (not doing EMDR, it was only that one time) and I learned that I was living numb to life, dissociating when things got tough. We worked on finding ways for me to feel things and a lot of my internal walls came down. I've learned to put up thinner, perforated walls, that allow experiences to come in and be felt, but filtered so I can still cope with life. That said, I feel like I cry all the time at random stuff. I always have (I'm that person with tears running down their face during the not-so-sad parts of movies), but I feel like it's gotten to a point that I can't shut it down. More importantly, I cry when I'm mad, instead of getting angry.
Case in point - my new trauma-informed therapist works with a lot of people with CPTSD, asked me to talk about my anger about not having a safe childhood. I cried. I was able to say a few things about how angry I was, used a lot of f-bombs about how unfair it was, but I didn't physically get angry. My throat closes, tears flow, my chest gets tight. I don't feel angry. I feel sad. And I feel a lot of empathy for the people that caused me so much pain, because I know what their lives were like, and it was far worse than my own experience.
I see a lot of you talking about your (justified) anger and I wonder if my inability to get angry is holding me back in my healing. Back in 2016, with my first trauma informed therapist, I remember we went deep in a session, and I was still deep in it when we hit time. For context - we were both students and the therapy office on campus was off of a busy corridor, so I had to leave directly into that corridor where I could run into people I know, with my face still hot and streaked with tears (no bathrooms inside the therapy space). I had asked her the week before to try and bring me back in the last 10-15 minutes because previously I left in a dark place and locked myself in a room and cried for 4 hours before I was able to go home. So, I’m deep in it again, when she realizes were at time and she apologies for not realizing sooner and warning me. I must have made a face because she asked me if I was angry and I immediately fawned and said, “no, I’m fine, it’s ok.” I leave her office, take a breath in the tiny waiting area, put my hands on the crash bar on the door leading to the busy corridor and realize I AM LIVID. I slam the crash bar and rush into the corridor and I’m angry for all of 3 minutes, just long enough to get to a bathroom and splash my face with cold water.
The next week, it took a lot of courage to tell her that I was, indeed, angry about what happened. I still remember her response: “Of course you were angry, and you had every right to be. I could tell by your face that you were. And it’s totally ok to be angry with me.” I don’t think anyone had every held such a safe space for my anger before that moment. And I know that I am out of touch with my anger because it hasn’t been safe. Sure, I get frustrated, and I stew over stupid little things, and I can be snappy and mean. But I am rarely angry. When I am, however - I explode. Full rage and no control – I can count the number of times this has happened on 1 hand. Remember, I’m over forty, so that’s like 1 episode every 6 years of my adult life. That doesn’t seem normal.
I came to this group after reading “What My Bones Know” as I related so intensely with it. I never would have thought I had CPTSD before this book. When I told my new therapist, she explained that she was already treating me as though I have CPTSD, and I am still reeling over the realisation that this diagnosis fits. I thought I had little “t” trauma, not big “T” fucking scary CPTSD. The one thing that I don’t relate to much in this group is the anger, or flying off the handle that a lot of you talk about. I knowing fawning is another trauma response, but I don’t hear it talked about as much.
If you relate to this post, can you share if you’ve been able to find safe ways to get in touch with your anger? How did you do it? What do you recommend?
Thanks for reading, this was hard to write up. No surprise, my face is full of tears.
submitted by EnvironmentalOwl4910 to CPTSD [link] [comments]
Case in point - my new trauma-informed therapist works with a lot of people with CPTSD, asked me to talk about my anger about not having a safe childhood. I cried. I was able to say a few things about how angry I was, used a lot of f-bombs about how unfair it was, but I didn't physically get angry. My throat closes, tears flow, my chest gets tight. I don't feel angry. I feel sad. And I feel a lot of empathy for the people that caused me so much pain, because I know what their lives were like, and it was far worse than my own experience.
I see a lot of you talking about your (justified) anger and I wonder if my inability to get angry is holding me back in my healing. Back in 2016, with my first trauma informed therapist, I remember we went deep in a session, and I was still deep in it when we hit time. For context - we were both students and the therapy office on campus was off of a busy corridor, so I had to leave directly into that corridor where I could run into people I know, with my face still hot and streaked with tears (no bathrooms inside the therapy space). I had asked her the week before to try and bring me back in the last 10-15 minutes because previously I left in a dark place and locked myself in a room and cried for 4 hours before I was able to go home. So, I’m deep in it again, when she realizes were at time and she apologies for not realizing sooner and warning me. I must have made a face because she asked me if I was angry and I immediately fawned and said, “no, I’m fine, it’s ok.” I leave her office, take a breath in the tiny waiting area, put my hands on the crash bar on the door leading to the busy corridor and realize I AM LIVID. I slam the crash bar and rush into the corridor and I’m angry for all of 3 minutes, just long enough to get to a bathroom and splash my face with cold water.

Altered State of Affairs
Audio Book - Thriller and Psychological
Altered State of Affairs, the novel, is a tale about an audacious kid from Cleveland Heights who unites in France with a beautiful Mossad agent and an eyeless doll for an adventure of a lifetime. The novel is now a podcast. This is Altered State of Affairs, The Podcast. The show is where the author, Jerald Kasimov, reads from certain chapters of his books and that has conversations about selections and fascinating topics in that specific reading. Here's a summary of the novel: Steven, a freshly-minted Army Ranger and aspiring badass, can’t wait to go after some bad guys—and maybe some bad girls, too. Fortunately, a Soviet master scientist has just defected and is hiding somewhere in the rugged French Pyrenees, and Steven must find him before a sadistic terrorist does. Along the way, he meets a traitor in a field of red poppies, a beautiful Mossad black-ops agent, some delicious cassoulet, and Cindy, the telepathic, eyeless doll. It’s time for Steven, an atypical hero, to man up, but nothing is as it seems—least of all, Steven. The story winds through time from adolescence in 1960s Cleveland Heights to the rigors of present-day Army Ranger training in Fort Benning, non-stop death-defying action, the delights of Israeli cooking, and the tragic yet triumphant history of the Jewish People. Oh, and there’s that beautiful Mossad agent…. But first, Steven has a world to save from a horrific weapon of mass destruction!

Ellen Vahr - Gaven
Audio Book - Historical
«Gaven» er en roman basert på livet til Anne Brannfjell, husmannsdatteren som ble Norges mest kjente kloke kone. Den er en fortelling om frykt og fortielse, men også om kjærligheten og tillitens plass i våre liv, og om mulighetene som åpner seg når vi våger å stå ved oss selv. Siden hun var liten, har husmannsjenta Anne visst at hun er født med en gave, en evne til å se, og et kall til å hjelpe syke og lidende. I stedet for å være stolt over denne gaven, gjemmer hun den bort. Hun vil ikke være annerledes. Vinteren 1841 reiser Anne fra Vardal til Christiania for å tjene hos byens mest berømte gullsmed og hans unge, vakre kone. Hun har valgt den veien hun tror er den rette. Det eneste hun har med seg er noen tørkede planter, en sort bok og en hemmelighet. Livet i Christiania er ikke som hun hadde trodd, og det er først da hun tror at hun har mistet alt, at Anne finner kraften til å stole på hvem hun er. «Gaven» handler om Annes kamp for å finne sin egen vei - og å våge å gå den. Det er en historie om dyp fattigdom, svik og krenkelser, men det er også en kjærlighetshistorie om mot, håp og om å finne veien hjem. Ellen Vahr er Anne Brannfjells tipp-tipp-oldebarn.

L'appel de l'enfance
Audio Drama - Slice of life
Une fiction qui met en scène les tribulations d’un personnage confronté quotidiennement aux dérives de la société actuelle. Avec François SARANO,Céline COUSTEAU, Matthieu RICARD, Miguel BENASAYAG et Katie MAGGS. Trente ans après l’avoir perdue de vue, Jean-Baptiste retrouve par hasard sur le net une amie d’enfance anglaise qui a connu les mêmes souffrances que lui. Sa solution pour recouvrer son équilibre : se baigner chaque matin dans la mer Celtique et rechercher en permanence ses sensations d’enfant. En raison des restrictions sanitaires, Jean-Baptiste doit attendre deux ans avant de pouvoir aller lui rendre visite en Cornouailles. Pendant ces deux années, s’enchaînent pour Jean-Baptiste des rencontres inattendues avec différentes personnalités qui réagissent aux problèmes auxquels il est confronté. Chacune apporte son éclairage sur ces maux sociétaux et avance ses propositions pour sortir de l’impasse. Peu à peu, un changement profond s’opère en Jean-Baptiste, dont l’aboutissement coïncide avec son séjour tant attendu en Cornouailles. Au retour de ce voyage, l’écart entre ce qu’il est devenu et son mode de vie le conduit à un burn out, qui vient confirmer la nécessité de changer de vie. Les souffrances évoquées dans cette série sont soit largement couvertes par les médias (environnement, covid) soit plus insidieuses (la mal-bouffe, le manque d’altruisme, les conséquences de l’utilisation maladive des portables, etc.) Au fil de ses échanges avec les différents intervenants, le personnage fictif opère un changement intérieur complet, amorcé par la première de ces rencontres : celle avec l’océanographe François SARANO, collaborateur du commandant Cousteau, qui lui glisse la phrase suivante : “Pour changer, il faut d’abord se retrouver avec soi-même, se reconnecter avec la nature et, enfin, s’engager.”

We are a tabletop actual play podcast where we play a number of different games including, but not limited to, Vampire the Masquerade 5th Edition, Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition, Masks: A New Generation, and more! Come listen to our zaney crew as we make our way through different campaigns all for your entertainment! Please note this podcast is marked as explicit because some of our shows we deal with adult topics like violence, seduction and fade-to-black type sex, drug use, and in the vampire game, lots of discussion of blood. Nothing is too crazy, but please be aware and if you aren't comfortable with any of that, maybe we aren't the show for you.

The Sir Bernard Moore Show
Audio Drama - Comedy
It's 1992. The Doomsday Clock is the furthest it has ever been from midnight. It's the safest, most peaceful and contented time planet Earth has known since the invention of atomic weapons. But not everywhere is as safe as everywhere else in the world . . . Here we are in Hobsick. Population: 2,001. A secluded village located somewhere just south of the north of the midlands. Seven miles to the east, a busy dual carriageway barely acknowledges that Hobsick exists, pointing any potential traffic down a sinister, unnamed B-road. To the west of the village sags the overgrown, potholed remains of twelve miles of another dual carriageway, as good as severed from civilization by a landslide in 1967.

New Eden - A Cyberpunk Podcast
Audio Drama - Cyberpunk
Plot: The Human Race have taken refuge on the dusty sibling planet of Mars. Such a curious debacle we find ourself in once again. After the warming of The Earth became too much to bare, we looked to Terraforming the Red Eden just a hop, skip and an intra-solar jump away; Such Hubris is laughable in hindsight, but one thing I can assure you is that the Human race will survive even if between the slimmest margins, and curiously enough, that is where we find ourself today. 2078 Earth years is equivalent to 1104 Martian years. Meanwhile, back on earth, a forbidden paradise is being created. The human race has abandoned their home planet, leaving behind a utopia of comfort and abundance. But the inhabitants of this paradise are not the same people who left it; they are refugees from of the Eruptions, the Steam storms, the shifting of the plates, the melting of the poles, and the ensuing Ice Age. The True Earthlings closely guard this paradise, with only the elite of the elite in their respective fields being allowed to return, and offer their skillset to the Greater Good of the Restored Gaia

Altered State of Affairs
Audio Book - Thriller and Psychological
Altered State of Affairs, the novel, is a tale about an audacious kid from Cleveland Heights who unites in France with a beautiful Mossad agent and an eyeless doll for an adventure of a lifetime. The novel is now a podcast. This is Altered State of Affairs, The Podcast. The show is where the author, Jerald Kasimov, reads from certain chapters of his books and that has conversations about selections and fascinating topics in that specific reading. Here's a summary of the novel: Steven, a freshly-minted Army Ranger and aspiring badass, can’t wait to go after some bad guys—and maybe some bad girls, too. Fortunately, a Soviet master scientist has just defected and is hiding somewhere in the rugged French Pyrenees, and Steven must find him before a sadistic terrorist does. Along the way, he meets a traitor in a field of red poppies, a beautiful Mossad black-ops agent, some delicious cassoulet, and Cindy, the telepathic, eyeless doll. It’s time for Steven, an atypical hero, to man up, but nothing is as it seems—least of all, Steven. The story winds through time from adolescence in 1960s Cleveland Heights to the rigors of present-day Army Ranger training in Fort Benning, non-stop death-defying action, the delights of Israeli cooking, and the tragic yet triumphant history of the Jewish People. Oh, and there’s that beautiful Mossad agent…. But first, Steven has a world to save from a horrific weapon of mass destruction!

«Gaven» er en roman basert på livet til Anne Brannfjell, husmannsdatteren som ble Norges mest kjente kloke kone. Den er en fortelling om frykt og fortielse, men også om kjærligheten og tillitens plass i våre liv, og om mulighetene som åpner seg når vi våger å stå ved oss selv. Siden hun var liten, har husmannsjenta Anne visst at hun er født med en gave, en evne til å se, og et kall til å hjelpe syke og lidende. I stedet for å være stolt over denne gaven, gjemmer hun den bort. Hun vil ikke være annerledes. Vinteren 1841 reiser Anne fra Vardal til Christiania for å tjene hos byens mest berømte gullsmed og hans unge, vakre kone. Hun har valgt den veien hun tror er den rette. Det eneste hun har med seg er noen tørkede planter, en sort bok og en hemmelighet. Livet i Christiania er ikke som hun hadde trodd, og det er først da hun tror at hun har mistet alt, at Anne finner kraften til å stole på hvem hun er. «Gaven» handler om Annes kamp for å finne sin egen vei - og å våge å gå den. Det er en historie om dyp fattigdom, svik og krenkelser, men det er også en kjærlighetshistorie om mot, håp og om å finne veien hjem. Ellen Vahr er Anne Brannfjells tipp-tipp-oldebarn.

L'appel de l'enfance
Audio Drama - Slice of life
Une fiction qui met en scène les tribulations d’un personnage confronté quotidiennement aux dérives de la société actuelle. Avec François SARANO,Céline COUSTEAU, Matthieu RICARD, Miguel BENASAYAG et Katie MAGGS. Trente ans après l’avoir perdue de vue, Jean-Baptiste retrouve par hasard sur le net une amie d’enfance anglaise qui a connu les mêmes souffrances que lui. Sa solution pour recouvrer son équilibre : se baigner chaque matin dans la mer Celtique et rechercher en permanence ses sensations d’enfant. En raison des restrictions sanitaires, Jean-Baptiste doit attendre deux ans avant de pouvoir aller lui rendre visite en Cornouailles. Pendant ces deux années, s’enchaînent pour Jean-Baptiste des rencontres inattendues avec différentes personnalités qui réagissent aux problèmes auxquels il est confronté. Chacune apporte son éclairage sur ces maux sociétaux et avance ses propositions pour sortir de l’impasse. Peu à peu, un changement profond s’opère en Jean-Baptiste, dont l’aboutissement coïncide avec son séjour tant attendu en Cornouailles. Au retour de ce voyage, l’écart entre ce qu’il est devenu et son mode de vie le conduit à un burn out, qui vient confirmer la nécessité de changer de vie. Les souffrances évoquées dans cette série sont soit largement couvertes par les médias (environnement, covid) soit plus insidieuses (la mal-bouffe, le manque d’altruisme, les conséquences de l’utilisation maladive des portables, etc.) Au fil de ses échanges avec les différents intervenants, le personnage fictif opère un changement intérieur complet, amorcé par la première de ces rencontres : celle avec l’océanographe François SARANO, collaborateur du commandant Cousteau, qui lui glisse la phrase suivante : “Pour changer, il faut d’abord se retrouver avec soi-même, se reconnecter avec la nature et, enfin, s’engager.”

New Eden - A Cyberpunk Podcast
Audio Drama - Cyberpunk
Plot: The Human Race have taken refuge on the dusty sibling planet of Mars. Such a curious debacle we find ourself in once again. After the warming of The Earth became too much to bare, we looked to Terraforming the Red Eden just a hop, skip and an intra-solar jump away; Such Hubris is laughable in hindsight, but one thing I can assure you is that the Human race will survive even if between the slimmest margins, and curiously enough, that is where we find ourself today. 2078 Earth years is equivalent to 1104 Martian years. Meanwhile, back on earth, a forbidden paradise is being created. The human race has abandoned their home planet, leaving behind a utopia of comfort and abundance. But the inhabitants of this paradise are not the same people who left it; they are refugees from of the Eruptions, the Steam storms, the shifting of the plates, the melting of the poles, and the ensuing Ice Age. The True Earthlings closely guard this paradise, with only the elite of the elite in their respective fields being allowed to return, and offer their skillset to the Greater Good of the Restored Gaia

Memory transcription subject: Captain Sovlin, United Nations Fleet Command
Date [standardized human time]: December 7, 2136
It was tough to cope with my proximity to this predator and his Venlil pal. I was standing just within the room’s threshold, and resisting the urge to flee. Binocular eyes were trained on my skull; it felt like they were burning holes in my head.
My eyes wandered, attempting to look anywhere but at the human’s scarred face. Marcel had placed a photograph of Slanek and himself, alongside a female Terran I didn’t recognize. The curious aspect was a young Gojid, riding on the redhead’s back with bright eyes. My victim was tickling her wrists, twisting his hands over his shoulders. Even in a still photograph, I could tell the child was squealing with happiness.
Why were Marcel and Slanek taking pictures with a young Gojid? Didn’t the red-haired human despise our species? Just looking at that child must remind him of my likeness; I wasn’t sure why he’d volunteer with our refugees. Perhaps it was an attempt at coping for him, but the fact he kept it as his selected photo…
Marcel thinks of his time with that Gojid kid as a happy memory. How can that be?
My throat felt like it was made of sandpaper. “T-the G-gojid. Who is she?”
“That’s Nulia. My adopted daughter,” Marcel replied in an even voice. “Slanek and I rescued her on the cradle, after she was abandoned in a stampede. She’s back at home with my fiancé now.”
I recoiled, unable to process why the human would adopt a Gojid child. Peering into his eyes in the photograph, the scarred predator was radiating affection. His teeth were bared in a full snarl, and Slanek was cozied up against his side too. Protector, why couldn’t I have tortured an asshole Terran? Not that it would’ve made it more moral, but Marcel was too kind. I could not have harmed someone less deserving of cruelty.
My eyes burned, as images of Marcel in a collar flooded my mind. Staring at his heartfelt smile, I could still picture his strained smile when Slanek came to visit. It had been my claw that pressed the shock trigger, while staring at him with absolute reproach. The cold, starving predator had seized on the floor, and struggled just to breathe. I could still hear his screams as I kicked him in the ribs…
Slanek snapped the television show off, and fixed a withering glower on me. The Venlil eyed me with murderous intent, flexing his wounded arm as if to test it. Marcel’s best friend remembered the exact details I had; I could remember how desperate he was to plead the human’s case. My response was to try to get him preyed upon. I would’ve intervened before the predator could eat the Venlil, but at best, it was an attempt to traumatize him.
Besides, there was no guarantee I could react quicker than a hunter could lunge. Poor Marcel must’ve resisted such terrible thoughts, just looking at Slanek.
It felt immoral to sympathize with a predator’s bloodlust, but I knew he couldn’t help basic, biological urges. Marcel chose to die rather than to eat his friend, and that was a remarkable show of willpower. The fact that he hadn’t enacted revenge upon me showed that he was a good person; his love extended even to Gojid children.
The red-haired human shot Slanek a pointed look. “Tell Sovlin what you wanted to tell him. This hatred is poisoning your heart, and you need to let it out.”
“I fucking hate you! If Recel hadn’t intervened, you would’ve killed Marcel. You meant to put him down like a fucking animal,” the Venlil screeched. “Do you know how it felt, to feel like I’d lose him? To know his last moments were agony? You deprived him of every basic need…I suppose he was lucky you gave him filthy water in a filthy bucket.”
“I’m sorry,” I offered meekly.
“What good does that do? You’re out living a respected life with the Terran military, and the trauma can never be undone. My government never even got to prosecute you for how you tossed me around. Then, I was helpless as he clung to life, on the day-long trip to Venlil Prime. I sat beside his hospital bed, watching them put wires in his face.”
“S-saw the p-pictures. T-terrible to look at.”
“It was terrible. I don’t know how you got Tyler to feel sorry for you, but he was never the brightest bulb in the box! You can keep your fucking apologies, because they aren’t worth shit!”
The Venlil started to sit up, but Marcel held him back with an arm. Slanek wriggled against the restraint, yet for some reason, the human wouldn’t let him charge at me. The prey alien reached for his IV line, and the predator intercepted his paw with nimble reflexes. I’d never seen a Venlil bare their teeth, or act with such aggression.
There was no question I deserved special animosity. Even the galaxy’s weakest race wanted to bash my face in, and I couldn’t blame him. Everything Slanek just stated was true, down to the fact that I would’ve murdered an innocent creature without Recel. The tears poured out from my eyes, and that only enraged the Venlil further. I pressed my face into my paws, wishing I could fall into non-existence.
“Relax, buddy. It’s okay,” Marcel whispered.
Slanek pinned his ears back. “STOP! I should be comforting you; he did it to you. You’re the one who has to live with the trauma. You’re the one who’s permanently disfigured!”
“Yes, and I don’t want you harming him.”
“You told me in the hospital you wanted Sovlin dead. You were fantasizing about it.”
“It wouldn’t make anything better, Slanek. I’ve been trying to make peace with what happened to me, since I learned that his family was eaten in front of him. Sovlin saved both of our lives, and I don’t wish harm upon him.”
“You said you didn’t want to see him. You were pissed he was there on Sillis.”
“I was pissed! I’m angry, I’m hurting, I’m hounded by memories when I look at his face, and…I forgive him.”
What was left of my spines bristled, and the world collapsed in on me. All I wanted was for Marcel to take those words back; they stabbed at me like daggers to the chest. I couldn’t breathe, and every part of me screamed against that forgiveness. Everyone in the galaxy knew that Slanek’s interpretation was the correct one.
I didn’t deserve mercy, and my life should be forfeit for my actions. How could the predator just forgive what I had done to him?
“N-no. You can’t do that,” I croaked, fighting for air amid the narrowing of my vision.
His hazel eyes stared directly at me. “Oh, I can. I won’t forget what you did, but it’s time to let it go. I choose to feel compassion for you. I choose not to be a victim…and not to let hatred control me.”
Marcel’s stated compassion packed the force of a sledgehammer. Those simplistic words echoed in my mind, warring against concrete certainty that I must never find peace. Without self-loathing as my purpose, there was no guiding star to light my dark path. Forgiveness stripped my life of all meaning; there was no reason to persist another day.
Why should I get to live, when I couldn’t protect my family?
“You just said you were angry.” Speech spilled from my vocal cords, as if borne of their own volition. “You wanted me d-dead; that was good! Why would you just forgive me?”
“Simple. I was playing with Nulia, and she’d overheard me talking with Lucy. She said, ‘Mawsle, you’re mean when you talk about Sahwin.’ Kid was right. It was consuming me, ‘cause I hadn’t let it go.”
The thought lanced me. It couldn’t be that simple, for a predator to cast aside his vitriol. The words of a child, who peered into his heart, caused him to forgive old wounds.
Slanek slapped his tail against Marcel’s earlobe. “Listen to yourself! You’re letting him get away with sadism, again!”
“I don’t control his actions. I control mine, and there’s power in not clinging to resentment. I won’t be free from this until I set my heart free.”
“You have to stand up for yourself, Marc. It’s not about being the bigger person! Justice matters too, and your life has enough value to me that he deserves my disgust.”
“Do you believe people can change, buddy? Because I do, and it’s wrong to deny a truly repentant person a second chance. Please, for my sake, respect the fact that Sovlin is trying to do better today. That is all he can do.”
No…Marcel is insufferable. Tyler also said I deserved a second chance, and it wasn’t true then. It doesn’t matter that I’m doing right by them, after what I’ve already done.
I fell to my knees, sobbing as I had when I first realized humans had empathy. A second chance was not what I was seeking; there was no reason why my unforgivable deeds deserved a do-over. My continued existence was meant as inadequate penance for my treatment of humanity. What aid I’d given them wasn’t nearly enough, though I hoped I’d made a minute difference in their war efforts.
It was tempting to believe that my reparations were sufficient. I knew my die was cast and my story was written, yet I yearned to pretend that wasn’t the truth. My eyes blinked open, turning to the Venlil. Surely he would slap Marcel’s folly down without hesitation.
“Fine,” Slanek spat the word, as if it were a sour taste in his mouth.
Marcel smiled with satisfaction. “Good. Now, thank him for saving your life.”
“What?! How did you—”
“Tyler told me. He explained everything, rather apologetically. We would both be dead without Sovlin, so a little thanks is in order.”
“Please don’t.” Snot bubbled in my nose. I shook my head, desperate to rebuff any praise. “That’s…n-not necessary.”
“I agree.” Slanek contorted his facial features into a mask of disgust. “You’re taking this way too far, Marc. The concussion got to your head.”
“Well then, humor a poor, sick human!” the red-haired predator chuckled. “I’ll watch the new episode of that god-awful The Exterminators show with you, if you say thanks sincerely.”
“Th…th…thanks, Sovlin. Bleh, that was vile.”
“I said sincerely.”
“I’m glad Marcel is alive.” Slanek spoke through gritted teeth. “Er, thanks for not trying to slice and dice him again.”
“You’ve got to be kidding me. That’s the best you can do?!”
“That…it was sincere,” I sniffled, buying time to regain composure. “Technically meets your criteria.”
Marcel heaved a sigh. “I guess so. Let me walk you back to your room, Sovlin.”
I raised surrendering paws, stammering, “N-no, you don’t—”
“I insist. I need to be sure I didn’t kickstart a full-blown mental crisis.”
The human maneuvered onto his legs, and stretched out his body with bloodcurdling pops. His strong hands tugged at my shoulder. The extended contact made me nauseous to my stomach, and my heavy limbs were sluggish to obey. I reminded myself not to think of him as my victim. Marcel didn’t want to be regarded in that fashion, so I shouldn’t do him that disservice in my perception.
The red-haired Terran wrapped an arm around my neck, which felt as heavy as a rock. How did every interaction with Marcel increase my guilt to chest-bursting levels? He led me out of Slanek’s quarters, and asked in a low rumble where I was heading. All I could do was point a few doors down, still a teary-eyed, snot-stained mess.
I noticed the predator drawing deep breaths, to quell his own anxiety. My self-centered concerns turned to him, and I withdrew from his grasp. Marcel blinked his eyes shut, his scars scrunching up with his grimace. I wanted to comfort him, even though I knew it was my presence ratcheting up his anxiety.
“D-do…you want a hug?” My voice was hardly more than a whisper, and I watched his eyes pop open with surprise. “No, I g-get that, of course you don’t want one from me—”
Marcel threw his arms around me, burying his face in my fur. The Terran finally let the tears spill over, which soaked my shoulder. I mirrored the way I’d seen Tyler comfort Onso, and pressed my paw onto his back. This was the first time I’d ever been this close to a human; not even my “friends” had embraced me. It was shocking how warm this predator was, like a heated blanket.
No wonder Slanek always curls up next to him. This is oddly disarming.
My heart ached, as the human continued to bawl his eyes out. I moved my claws into his hair, and ruffled the strands in the silly way I’d do with my daughter. It wasn’t clear how Terran years translated, but Marcel was probably about her age. He jerked his head back, and fear flashed in his eyes briefly. The poor guy mistook my playful gesture for an attack.
“Sorry, shouldn’t have used the claws. It must feel like I was slicing at you; I wasn’t thinking,” I mumbled.
Marcel patted his mane back down. “It’s just…never mind. This here is where you’re heading, right?”
“Yeah.”
“Cool beans. Hey, listen…I wish you only the best. I don’t want you to be depressed on my account.”
It’s not on his account. It’s because of me and knowing what I am.
“T-the last thing I want is you worrying about me.” I wasn’t going to spill my emotional turmoil on this human, who could keep his own trauma contained. “I wish you hated me.”
“Well, I don’t. You hate you, Sovlin.”
“…yeah.”
“I don’t have to be a therapist to tell you where it all stems from. You blame yourself for what happened to your family. If you want to do something for me, get help.”
“Tyler told me about someone. I didn’t think—”
“That you deserved help. It’s okay to be happy and live your life. You’re not going to pay off some self-imposed debt to me by being miserable.”
I averted my gaze. “T-thank you. Whatever anyone says about you…you’re the strongest person I’ve ever known. How much you care for others is astounding, and it speaks wonders of your species.”
“Nobody’s perfect. I just hope when it’s all said and done, I leave the universe a better place,” Marcel said. “It’s not too late for the sum of your actions, you know.”
“I promise I’ll try. From now on, I’ll try to be like you.”
“I’m not the worst role model…in my humble opinion. If only I could smack the same lesson into Slanek’s skull. But it seems like we’ve settled our issues, and that’s that.”
“That’s that.”
“Good. Well, I think I’d best be going. Rest up!”
As the predator turned away, I wondered how I ever could’ve believed his species was incapable of empathy. The truth was, Terrans had to be one of the most empathetic species to cobble together anything bordering normalcy. It took a great deal of emotion to repress their hunting instincts with such thoroughness. Perhaps that was why they’d bonded with the Venlil; they both were sensitive species with ample feelings.
As Carlos told me, the issue was when empathy wasn’t extended to a particular individual. Marcel chose to grant it even to me, after what I’d done; that was the sign of a good human. I couldn’t believe how openly he was conversing with me, and how he had wiped the slate clean. The catch was that I could not - would not - forgive myself.
I laid down on the floor of my room, and thought about the legacy I would leave behind. Marcel did have a point though. The torture would always be in my ledger, but I could surround it with other deeds. Suffering was my idea of a fair punishment, not any request of the scarred primate. It wasn’t going to make things right between us; if anything, it seemed like it would worsen his recovery.
Maybe it was time to get my head straight, as the humans so often suggested. I could become a better version of my despicable self, with the predators’ guidance.

Memory transcription subject: Captain Sovlin, United Nations Fleet Command
Date [standardized human time]: December 7, 2136
It was tough to cope with my proximity to this predator and his Venlil pal. I was standing just within the room’s threshold, and resisting the urge to flee. Binocular eyes were trained on my skull; it felt like they were burning holes in my head.
My eyes wandered, attempting to look anywhere but at the human’s scarred face. Marcel had placed a photograph of Slanek and himself, alongside a female Terran I didn’t recognize. The curious aspect was a young Gojid, riding on the redhead’s back with bright eyes. My victim was tickling her wrists, twisting his hands over his shoulders. Even in a still photograph, I could tell the child was squealing with happiness.
Why were Marcel and Slanek taking pictures with a young Gojid? Didn’t the red-haired human despise our species? Just looking at that child must remind him of my likeness; I wasn’t sure why he’d volunteer with our refugees. Perhaps it was an attempt at coping for him, but the fact he kept it as his selected photo…
Marcel thinks of his time with that Gojid kid as a happy memory. How can that be?
My throat felt like it was made of sandpaper. “T-the G-gojid. Who is she?”
“That’s Nulia. My adopted daughter,” Marcel replied in an even voice. “Slanek and I rescued her on the cradle, after she was abandoned in a stampede. She’s back at home with my fiancé now.”
I recoiled, unable to process why the human would adopt a Gojid child. Peering into his eyes in the photograph, the scarred predator was radiating affection. His teeth were bared in a full snarl, and Slanek was cozied up against his side too. Protector, why couldn’t I have tortured an asshole Terran? Not that it would’ve made it more moral, but Marcel was too kind. I could not have harmed someone less deserving of cruelty.
My eyes burned, as images of Marcel in a collar flooded my mind. Staring at his heartfelt smile, I could still picture his strained smile when Slanek came to visit. It had been my claw that pressed the shock trigger, while staring at him with absolute reproach. The cold, starving predator had seized on the floor, and struggled just to breathe. I could still hear his screams as I kicked him in the ribs…
Slanek snapped the television show off, and fixed a withering glower on me. The Venlil eyed me with murderous intent, flexing his wounded arm as if to test it. Marcel’s best friend remembered the exact details I had; I could remember how desperate he was to plead the human’s case. My response was to try to get him preyed upon. I would’ve intervened before the predator could eat the Venlil, but at best, it was an attempt to traumatize him.
Besides, there was no guarantee I could react quicker than a hunter could lunge. Poor Marcel must’ve resisted such terrible thoughts, just looking at Slanek.
It felt immoral to sympathize with a predator’s bloodlust, but I knew he couldn’t help basic, biological urges. Marcel chose to die rather than to eat his friend, and that was a remarkable show of willpower. The fact that he hadn’t enacted revenge upon me showed that he was a good person; his love extended even to Gojid children.
The red-haired human shot Slanek a pointed look. “Tell Sovlin what you wanted to tell him. This hatred is poisoning your heart, and you need to let it out.”
“I fucking hate you! If Recel hadn’t intervened, you would’ve killed Marcel. You meant to put him down like a fucking animal,” the Venlil screeched. “Do you know how it felt, to feel like I’d lose him? To know his last moments were agony? You deprived him of every basic need…I suppose he was lucky you gave him filthy water in a filthy bucket.”
“I’m sorry,” I offered meekly.
“What good does that do? You’re out living a respected life with the Terran military, and the trauma can never be undone. My government never even got to prosecute you for how you tossed me around. Then, I was helpless as he clung to life, on the day-long trip to Venlil Prime. I sat beside his hospital bed, watching them put wires in his face.”
“S-saw the p-pictures. T-terrible to look at.”
“It was terrible. I don’t know how you got Tyler to feel sorry for you, but he was never the brightest bulb in the box! You can keep your fucking apologies, because they aren’t worth shit!”
The Venlil started to sit up, but Marcel held him back with an arm. Slanek wriggled against the restraint, yet for some reason, the human wouldn’t let him charge at me. The prey alien reached for his IV line, and the predator intercepted his paw with nimble reflexes. I’d never seen a Venlil bare their teeth, or act with such aggression.
There was no question I deserved special animosity. Even the galaxy’s weakest race wanted to bash my face in, and I couldn’t blame him. Everything Slanek just stated was true, down to the fact that I would’ve murdered an innocent creature without Recel. The tears poured out from my eyes, and that only enraged the Venlil further. I pressed my face into my paws, wishing I could fall into non-existence.
“Relax, buddy. It’s okay,” Marcel whispered.
Slanek pinned his ears back. “STOP! I should be comforting you; he did it to you. You’re the one who has to live with the trauma. You’re the one who’s permanently disfigured!”
“Yes, and I don’t want you harming him.”
“You told me in the hospital you wanted Sovlin dead. You were fantasizing about it.”
“It wouldn’t make anything better, Slanek. I’ve been trying to make peace with what happened to me, since I learned that his family was eaten in front of him. Sovlin saved both of our lives, and I don’t wish harm upon him.”
“You said you didn’t want to see him. You were pissed he was there on Sillis.”
“I was pissed! I’m angry, I’m hurting, I’m hounded by memories when I look at his face, and…I forgive him.”
What was left of my spines bristled, and the world collapsed in on me. All I wanted was for Marcel to take those words back; they stabbed at me like daggers to the chest. I couldn’t breathe, and every part of me screamed against that forgiveness. Everyone in the galaxy knew that Slanek’s interpretation was the correct one.
I didn’t deserve mercy, and my life should be forfeit for my actions. How could the predator just forgive what I had done to him?
“N-no. You can’t do that,” I croaked, fighting for air amid the narrowing of my vision.
His hazel eyes stared directly at me. “Oh, I can. I won’t forget what you did, but it’s time to let it go. I choose to feel compassion for you. I choose not to be a victim…and not to let hatred control me.”
Marcel’s stated compassion packed the force of a sledgehammer. Those simplistic words echoed in my mind, warring against concrete certainty that I must never find peace. Without self-loathing as my purpose, there was no guiding star to light my dark path. Forgiveness stripped my life of all meaning; there was no reason to persist another day.
Why should I get to live, when I couldn’t protect my family?
“You just said you were angry.” Speech spilled from my vocal cords, as if borne of their own volition. “You wanted me d-dead; that was good! Why would you just forgive me?”
“Simple. I was playing with Nulia, and she’d overheard me talking with Lucy. She said, ‘Mawsle, you’re mean when you talk about Sahwin.’ Kid was right. It was consuming me, ‘cause I hadn’t let it go.”
The thought lanced me. It couldn’t be that simple, for a predator to cast aside his vitriol. The words of a child, who peered into his heart, caused him to forgive old wounds.
Slanek slapped his tail against Marcel’s earlobe. “Listen to yourself! You’re letting him get away with sadism, again!”
“I don’t control his actions. I control mine, and there’s power in not clinging to resentment. I won’t be free from this until I set my heart free.”
“You have to stand up for yourself, Marc. It’s not about being the bigger person! Justice matters too, and your life has enough value to me that he deserves my disgust.”
“Do you believe people can change, buddy? Because I do, and it’s wrong to deny a truly repentant person a second chance. Please, for my sake, respect the fact that Sovlin is trying to do better today. That is all he can do.”
No…Marcel is insufferable. Tyler also said I deserved a second chance, and it wasn’t true then. It doesn’t matter that I’m doing right by them, after what I’ve already done.
I fell to my knees, sobbing as I had when I first realized humans had empathy. A second chance was not what I was seeking; there was no reason why my unforgivable deeds deserved a do-over. My continued existence was meant as inadequate penance for my treatment of humanity. What aid I’d given them wasn’t nearly enough, though I hoped I’d made a minute difference in their war efforts.
It was tempting to believe that my reparations were sufficient. I knew my die was cast and my story was written, yet I yearned to pretend that wasn’t the truth. My eyes blinked open, turning to the Venlil. Surely he would slap Marcel’s folly down without hesitation.
“Fine,” Slanek spat the word, as if it were a sour taste in his mouth.
Marcel smiled with satisfaction. “Good. Now, thank him for saving your life.”
“What?! How did you—”
“Tyler told me. He explained everything, rather apologetically. We would both be dead without Sovlin, so a little thanks is in order.”
“Please don’t.” Snot bubbled in my nose. I shook my head, desperate to rebuff any praise. “That’s…n-not necessary.”
“I agree.” Slanek contorted his facial features into a mask of disgust. “You’re taking this way too far, Marc. The concussion got to your head.”
“Well then, humor a poor, sick human!” the red-haired predator chuckled. “I’ll watch the new episode of that god-awful The Exterminators show with you, if you say thanks sincerely.”
“Th…th…thanks, Sovlin. Bleh, that was vile.”
“I said sincerely.”
“I’m glad Marcel is alive.” Slanek spoke through gritted teeth. “Er, thanks for not trying to slice and dice him again.”
“You’ve got to be kidding me. That’s the best you can do?!”
“That…it was sincere,” I sniffled, buying time to regain composure. “Technically meets your criteria.”
Marcel heaved a sigh. “I guess so. Let me walk you back to your room, Sovlin.”
I raised surrendering paws, stammering, “N-no, you don’t—”
“I insist. I need to be sure I didn’t kickstart a full-blown mental crisis.”
The human maneuvered onto his legs, and stretched out his body with bloodcurdling pops. His strong hands tugged at my shoulder. The extended contact made me nauseous to my stomach, and my heavy limbs were sluggish to obey. I reminded myself not to think of him as my victim. Marcel didn’t want to be regarded in that fashion, so I shouldn’t do him that disservice in my perception.
The red-haired Terran wrapped an arm around my neck, which felt as heavy as a rock. How did every interaction with Marcel increase my guilt to chest-bursting levels? He led me out of Slanek’s quarters, and asked in a low rumble where I was heading. All I could do was point a few doors down, still a teary-eyed, snot-stained mess.
I noticed the predator drawing deep breaths, to quell his own anxiety. My self-centered concerns turned to him, and I withdrew from his grasp. Marcel blinked his eyes shut, his scars scrunching up with his grimace. I wanted to comfort him, even though I knew it was my presence ratcheting up his anxiety.
“D-do…you want a hug?” My voice was hardly more than a whisper, and I watched his eyes pop open with surprise. “No, I g-get that, of course you don’t want one from me—”
Marcel threw his arms around me, burying his face in my fur. The Terran finally let the tears spill over, which soaked my shoulder. I mirrored the way I’d seen Tyler comfort Onso, and pressed my paw onto his back. This was the first time I’d ever been this close to a human; not even my “friends” had embraced me. It was shocking how warm this predator was, like a heated blanket.
No wonder Slanek always curls up next to him. This is oddly disarming.
My heart ached, as the human continued to bawl his eyes out. I moved my claws into his hair, and ruffled the strands in the silly way I’d do with my daughter. It wasn’t clear how Terran years translated, but Marcel was probably about her age. He jerked his head back, and fear flashed in his eyes briefly. The poor guy mistook my playful gesture for an attack.
“Sorry, shouldn’t have used the claws. It must feel like I was slicing at you; I wasn’t thinking,” I mumbled.
Marcel patted his mane back down. “It’s just…never mind. This here is where you’re heading, right?”
“Yeah.”
“Cool beans. Hey, listen…I wish you only the best. I don’t want you to be depressed on my account.”
It’s not on his account. It’s because of me and knowing what I am.
“T-the last thing I want is you worrying about me.” I wasn’t going to spill my emotional turmoil on this human, who could keep his own trauma contained. “I wish you hated me.”
“Well, I don’t. You hate you, Sovlin.”
“…yeah.”
“I don’t have to be a therapist to tell you where it all stems from. You blame yourself for what happened to your family. If you want to do something for me, get help.”
“Tyler told me about someone. I didn’t think—”
“That you deserved help. It’s okay to be happy and live your life. You’re not going to pay off some self-imposed debt to me by being miserable.”
I averted my gaze. “T-thank you. Whatever anyone says about you…you’re the strongest person I’ve ever known. How much you care for others is astounding, and it speaks wonders of your species.”
“Nobody’s perfect. I just hope when it’s all said and done, I leave the universe a better place,” Marcel said. “It’s not too late for the sum of your actions, you know.”
“I promise I’ll try. From now on, I’ll try to be like you.”
“I’m not the worst role model…in my humble opinion. If only I could smack the same lesson into Slanek’s skull. But it seems like we’ve settled our issues, and that’s that.”
“That’s that.”
“Good. Well, I think I’d best be going. Rest up!”

2023.04.01 14:53 doomedgeek I was a security guard until an encounter with a monster hunter changed my life
I was scraping a living working as a security guard.
I was stationed in shopping malls where my days were spent asking teenagers to move on. I sat behind desks in the lobbies of office blocks staring at CCTV monitors where nothing happened for hour after hour. And I patrolled construction sites on freezing cold nights, actually wishing someone would try and break in and steal some of the building materials. At least then I could get warm by chasing them.
My job was garbage.
One night, I was responding to an alarm which had gone off at the lot of a car dealership.
I parked up outside. The alarm was flashing but there was no sign of damage to the building so I assumed it was yet another waste of time.
I stood in front of the window and looked at the sleek, high-performance vehicles on display that cost more than I would earn in a lifetime on my pathetic wage. My reflection peered back at me: a sad figure dressed in a grey security guard’s uniform.
I sighed, turned away and headed back to my car. I had left my work phone on the passenger seat. I had to use it to fill in an online form after every call out before leaving the scene and would get my wages docked if I did not complete all the boxes correctly. It felt so futile.
I unlocked the car and was reaching for the door handle when I saw movement across the road. A glimpse of something running on all fours.
It slipped down an alley and away out of sight.
I thought at first that it might have been a fox.
There were a small number of exclusive restaurants in the surrounding blocks and their refuse would be packed with tasty morsels for scavengers. They wouldn’t care that it was leftovers from haute cuisine prepared by a chef with his own show on cable tv.
But my hand hovered over the door handle.
What if it had been a dog? I wondered. A stray destined for the pound that would eventually, heartbreakingly, be put to sleep.
I had always liked dogs a lot. I admired their loyalty and their tenacity, though my circumstances over the years had meant I had not owned one since I was a teenager.
And though I should have got busy filling in the mind-numbing online form, I decided that could wait.
I wanted to see if it was a dog. If it was, maybe I could rescue it and give it a home. That would give my empty life some kind of purpose.
Trying not to think about how I was going to afford to pay for dog food and veterinarian’s bills, I set off on the animal’s trail.
The alley I had entered was narrow and dark. I gave my eyes a moment to adjust then carried on. I moved slowly, not wanting to spook the animal.
I knew that if it felt threated it could lash out, and the last thing I needed was a trip to ER to get treated for a bite.
But there was no sign of it and the only sound was a drunk singing in the distance.
I shook my head sadly. I would have to give up and get back to the car. There would be another job lined up for me by now and the supervisor would be wondering where I was.
I turned – but did not take another step.
A pair of eyes glowed in the darkness ahead of me. They were red and burning with rage.
I could see the snout of the animal now as well and its teeth… only they were not the teeth of any kind of dog or fox. They were way too big, way too sharp.
They were fangs. And they were coming my way.
My guts cramped with fear.
I needed to get out of there or stand and fight. I clenched my firsts.
The animal was close. It began to snarl and crouch. I realised with horror that it was about to go for me.
Suddenly the alley was filled with the sound of screeching tyres and an engine roaring like it was fit to burst.
A car sped into view. It was backing in and barely fit into the cramped space. Its sides scraped along the sides of the alley with a sickening screech. Then it slammed to a halt.
I heard a door open, and a man stepped out of the driver’s seat.
He wore a battered leather coat that reached almost to his ankles. A fedora was balanced at a rakish angle on his head.
He smiled, and I saw the glint of a gold tooth.
“Well, howdy,” he said to me, “I will take it from here.”
The animal had not moved since he had arrived on the scene. It had remained low to the ground, its teeth bared, its hackles raised.
The man stood tall before it, patted a holster on his hip and said, “I got six silver pieces in here. I will need only one. There will be no morning after regrets then. The only thing waiting for you will be a cold hard grave.”
It was insane. He was speaking to a crazed animal as if it could understand him.
The animal responded with a howl, then leapt at him.
Moving with lightning speed and agility, the man rolled out of the way and was back on his feet in a flash. He drew, and a loud retort filled the alley – all while the animal was still mid-air.
The impact of the projectile sent it spiralling down. It hit the ground heavily and did not move.
I stood there transfixed, barely able to breathe.
The man opened the trunk of his car, picked the animal up and placed it inside.
As he closed the trunk, I could swear I saw pale human skin appearing beneath the animal’s fur.
The man turned back to me. “Word of advice, stranger. Stay out of dark alleys on nights like these. The full moon’s real pretty, but she brings out the beast.”
Then he tapped the brim of his fedora in a relaxed salute and climbed back into his car.
I was left standing watching open-mouthed as he drove away.
I had not noticed that it was a full moon but, when I looked up, I saw it burning bright in the dark city night.
I took a deep breath and headed back to my car.
There were missed calls on my work phone and a red-flagged email telling me to report to personnel in the morning.
I did not tell the drone in the suit who I met in the security company’s headquarters at 9.30 the next day what had happened in the alley. I knew that was pointless. There was no way he would believe me – and, it turned out, the damage was already done.
I listened as he told me that I was fired for taking an unauthorised break.
It took all my self-control not to reach over the desk, grab him and tell him exactly what I thought of his organisation and his stupid face.
With my head held high, I walked out onto the street. I had my dignity but nothing else. I was unemployed and close to broke.
I needed to think. I decided it was too early to go to a bar and consider my options over a stiff drink, and my cramped apartment was the last place I wanted to be when I was already feeling down, so I set off walking.
I had no destination in mind, I just drifted.
As I paced the streets, my mood got bleaker and bleaker. I could not see a way out of the dire situation I was in.
Finally, as dusk fell, I gave in to the temptation of a drink. There was a bar on the corner. It had no windows and there was broken glass and cigarette ends scattered across the sidewalk in front of it.
It was a dive.
Ideal for a loser like me then, I figured, and headed in.
The inside of the bar was hazy with smoke and dimly lit by a fluorescent strip that was dancing with flies. There were half a dozen patrons nursing beers, and a juke box was playing a song about looking for love.
The only thing anyone was going to find in this place was regret and stale breath.
I headed to the bar and ordered a double bourbon neat. The barman slid over a glass and poured out the drink.
The rim of the glass had more fingerprints on it than a crime scene. Telling myself that alcohol was a very effective disinfectant, I downed the bourbon in one, then turned to leave.
Call it the ambiance, call it the dirty looks I was getting because my eyebrows did not meet in the middle, but this bar was not helping my mood one little bit.
I was almost back at the door, when it swung open and the man from the alley strolled in.
His fedora, long leather coat and confident strut made him stand out a mile in the seedy bar.
He looked at me and I saw recognition in his eyes, but he carried on right by me without a word and made his way towards a lone figure sitting at a corner table.
I’d paid this man no heed before. He was keeping to the shadows and, even as he was approached, he had eyes only for the drink that sat in front of him.
Common sense was telling me that there was about to be trouble and I should leave, but I had not ended up one step away from the gutter by listening to my common sense.
So I leant against a wall and watched and waited.
The man wearing the fedora had reached the table. He had his back to me, but I imagined a gold tooth glinting as he said, “It is time to end this.”
His voice was calm and cold. He meant business.
The lone figure responded by taking a long drink, then placing his glass back down slowly and deliberately. The sound of the glass clinking on the tabletop was the loudest sound in the bar by now.
The juke box was silent and everyone else in there seemed transfixed by the encounter as well.
The lone figure got to his feet. He was slender and dressed all in black. In the gloom, his eyes were two points of darkness and his skin looked drained of all colour.
Then he smiled, and I felt a cold chill run through my body.
The tips of his teeth were viciously sharp points. Had he had filed them down to be like that? I wondered. Or was there another explanation?
One that belonged far from the light of day, in a dank, dark place like this.
The lone figure kept smiling as he said, “That’s not going to happen. It’s night now, so I will be leaving here to get myself a drink that satisfies my thirst. The plasma they keep behind the bar for me here just doesn’t cut it. In fact, this whole situation lacks bite.”
Then he snarled and his jaws snapped open. His grotesque teeth looked like a steel trap. One that was about to close around the neck of the man in the fedora.
But, once again, he moved at speed, producing a sharp wooden stake from inside his leather coat and striking it into the heart of the lone figure – who screamed then crumbled into dust.
The man in the fedora turned to walk away.
Only his path to the door was blocked by the barman. He held a sawn-off. “You should not have done that,” he said. “Vampires are my best customers.”
Then he let loose with both barrels.
There was nothing the man in the fedora could do. He was sent flying backwards, crashing through chairs and tables before sliding to a halt.
Appalled at this vicious assault, I threw myself at the barman and knocked him out with a right hook.
Then I scrambled over to the man in the fedora. He was in a bad way, but he was still breathing. His eyes flickered opened.
I forced a reassuring smile onto my face and said, “Don’t try and move. I’ll call 911.”
“No, there’ll be too many questions.” he gasped and tried to sit up. His face contorted with pain and he swore. Then, through gritted teeth, he said, “Help me get out of here.”
I had no idea what he was talking about and still thought calling the authorities was the best thing to do, but I saw that the other customers were giving us filthy looks and that the barman was coming round. I decided that getting out of there as soon as possible was the wisest option after all.
I helped the man in the fedora get to his feet and took as much of his weight as I could as we struggled towards the door and out into the night.
I recognised his car parked across from the bar. He gave me the keys and collapsed into the passenger seat.
I was about to tell him I was not insured to drive his vehicle when I saw the door of the bar open and the barman emerge.
Getting pulled over for a traffic offense was small change compared to the volley that was about to come our way, so I dived into the car, gunned the engine and gripped the wheel as we sped away.
I almost hit a car at the next intersection but swerved just in time. My heart was beating way too fast and I was coated in sweat. Then the headlights of a truck filled my line of vision and its horn blasted out a warning.
It missed us by inches.
I could not take it anymore. I pulled up at the side of the road and sat there shaking.
I glanced over at the man in the fedora and was amazed to see he was grinning.
“What in Hades’ name is going on?” I snapped.
“I am a freelance operative,” he replied. “I am paid by the government to eliminate monsters.”
I looked at him, lost for words.
“Sounds crazy, I know,” he continued. “But I assure you I don’t need a straight-jacket, just one more favour. I live a couple of blocks from here. I’m figuring it would be safer to walk the rest of the way and, while my Kevlar vest, soaked up most of the blast I’m still in a world of pain…”
He left it hanging there.
I sighed then told him I’d help him get home but that was it.
A day that had started with me being fired had descended into chaos and my nerves were shredded.
With him leaning on me we made our way slowly through the streets, until finally we reached what looked to me like a derelict warehouse. Even though it was late, a steady stream of traffic passed by. This city never slept.
“This is my place,” he said, while unlocking the door with a big brass key. The door opened with a creak and I helped him inside.
He flicked a light switch on, revealing a long open plan room that was a strange mix of workshop and living space.
An old and very comfortable looking sofa sat in front of a tv that looked about thirty years old. There was a fridge nearby, a stove, and a sink that was piled high with dishes.
A tool box stood open on the floor near to the sink, and a wide wooden workbench ran along the side of one wall.
There was an unmade bed as well, and an empty clothes hanger. Rumpled clothes lay scattered across the floor.
“I’m guessing you live here alone,” I said.
He shrugged and responded with, “Wherever I lay my stakes, that’s my home.”
I thought he was joking until I saw the row of wooden stakes lined up against one of the walls. The tip of each was sharpened – just like the one he had used in the bar.
He tapped the nearest one and said, “I like to keep plenty of replacements. Always seem to be leaving the things behind.”
Then he made his way over to the sofa and sunk down onto it.
I could see he was still in a lot of pain, but his breathing was regular and as I watched his eyelids closed and he started to snore quietly.
It was time for me to make my exit – only I could hear the rain falling heavily against the roof of the building. It sounded filthy outside, and I was beat.
There was an armchair in one corner of the room. It looked ancient and the lining was split open in a bunch of places. At that moment in time, it also looked incredibly comfortable.
I dragged myself over and pretty much collapsed onto it.
I don’t even remember closing my eyes.
The next thing I knew, I was blinking and yawning and rubbing my face. The morning sun was reaching into the room from a skylight and there was a pot of coffee brewing on the stove.
There was also a fax machine whirring into life.
I thought they’d gone the way of the dinosaurs so was bemused by the spectacle as a printout appeared. I went over to see what was on the sheet of paper.
It was a two-tone reproduction of a mug shot. Whoever it was, was not going to win any beauty contests. He looked desperate and dangerous. He also appeared human, but I assumed there was more to him than met the eye, if he was of interest to a monster hunter.
Below the picture there was a dollar sign followed by four figures.
I whistled quietly to myself. To a man in my dire financial straits, it was a substantial sum.
I was thinking how having that kind of money in my pocket would have made my life a whole lot better, when the man who I had helped the night before came into the room.
He took the printout from me, studied it, then said, “Looks like it’s time for me to go back to work.”
His leather coat and fedora were on the floor. He started to bend over to pick them up but pulled up in pain.
“Look,” I said. “If I understand this right, and you’re going to try and take out that desperado for that fee, then I would say you are going to fail. I reckon at the best you’ve cracked a couple of ribs. What you need is a partner, with a fifty-fifty split of the money when we succeed.”
He did not look happy about my suggestion and replied, “It will be dangerous in the extreme. You must realise that after seeing the last couple of vermin I took out?”
Unease trickled through me. But I wasn’t going to be put off that easily. I really wanted the money.
I pointed at the mug shot and asked, “What kind of monster is this?”
He grabbed a second page that had appeared from the fax machine, read it, then told me, “It says he is a shapeshifter. He is more dangerous than the lycanthrope I killed in the alley because he can change at will, not just during the full moon, and he could well share the cold logic of the vampire from the bar. The amount of the fee reflects this.”
I swallowed and tried to pretend like I was not scared as I said, “My offer to partner up with you still stands.”
He felt his ribs then looked me in the eye and growled, “Let’s do this thing.”
He drove this time, wincing every time we hit a pothole.
I had the two printouts on my lap and was leafing through an old A to Z of the city. I was looking for the street name that was among the details provided on the second sheet of paper.
“You do know it’s much easier to do this online,” I told him, as yet another bump in the road made me lose my page.
“Easier, but risky,” he told me. “Emails and messaging services are frequently hacked but no one is looking for information sent by fax. And who’s to say someone is not looking at the results of your internet searches the moment you bring them up.”
“I guess you don’t trust money being wired into banks either. So how do you get paid?” I said with a cynical tone.
He replied without missing a beat: “In cash. Used notes. Collected from drop off points, and never the same place. Do you like being given cash in hand? I know I do.”
I had to smile. He had me there. I went back to the A to Z.
After a couple of unnecessary detours caused by my rusty map reading, we finally turned into the right street. The apartment block we were looking for was on our left.
Finding monsters in alleys and dive bars had made sense. I also assumed monsters would hang out in graveyards, crumbling mansions, and other generally creepy and run down locations.
As I climbed out of the car and looked up, I was surprised.
The apartment block was sleek and modern. Balconies extended below each window. The views from the upper ones must have been stunning. And back down at ground level there was no graffiti or trash anywhere in sight.
“Are you sure this is the right place?” I asked.
He looked me at me and said, “The fax never lies.”
Then, hiding his pain behind a swagger, he strode up to the entrance and pressed a bunch of intercom buttons all at once.
“Someone is bound to be expecting a delivery,” he said, and sure enough we were buzzed in straight away.
We made our way through the plush lobby and waited on the elevator. The details we had been given also told us the shapeshifter lived in the penthouse suite.
“Must be profitable being a monster,” I said as the display showed the elevator descending.
The man in the fedora kept his attention on the display as he replied, “For some it can be. They use their differences to gather fortunes and power, sometimes through deluded acolytes, sometimes through violence and cunning. For others, though, being different is a curse, pure and simple. They wallow in filth, driven by base instincts to feed and hide. Either way, it is only a matter of time before they are identified as monsters and an operative is sent to end them.”
The elevator arrived and the doors slid open. The interior was wallpapered and there was a small, ornate sofa on one side. More signs that the shapeshifter had clearly done very well for himself.
That was all about to change.
The elevator ride was smooth and swift, and we emerged into a corridor where our boots sank into a thick, white carpet. Out of the corner of my eye I noticed a security camera fixed high on the wall turn to face us.
I pointed it out and whispered, “Motion activated.”
The man in the fedora drew and obliterated the camera. “Not anymore,” he said and walked up to the door leading to the penthouse.
“It’s over,” he yelled then slammed his boot into the door. I noticed for the first time that he had steel toe caps and steel heels. The door cracked, he forced it open and stepped inside.
I followed. I could feel the adrenaline pushing my fear away.
The downtrodden security guard was history, I was a monster hunter’s partner now.
The vestibule of the penthouse was larger than any of the rooms in my apartment. There were oil paintings on the wall and light fittings that sparkled like jewels. A door opened up off it.
The man in the fedora was already barging through it. I hurried after him, into a living room with a floor to ceiling window. High rises soared in the distance.
A man sat in an antique chair in one corner of the room. I recognised him from the mug shot.
He had an arrogant sneer on his face. An arrogance that spread to his voice when he said, “Breaking into my home was a mistake. The last one you will ever make.”
Then he rose to his feet – and began to change.
His entire body expanded and within seconds he loomed over us. His skin cracked and dark fur began to appear. His fingers split open and claws unfurled, and the sneering face that looked down on us was now that of a beast.
It growled and with dizzying speed went for the man in the fedora.
He made to draw, but his injuries must have slowed him because the shapeshifter reached him before he could.
The shapeshifter lashed out with one of its claw-tipped paws, and the man in the fedora was sent flying across the room.
He lay there looking dazed. His leather coat and Kevlar vest were ripped and blood was seeping out.
The shapeshifter raised its claws, ready to inflict a fatal blow.
I had to act. I grabbed a chair and swung this at the shapeshifter. It turned and smashed the chair out of my grip.
I was left standing there as the shapeshifter snarled at me. The only thing I had achieved was to move up the victim chain. I would be diced and sliced and left as a gory mess on the floor.
My life flashed before my eyes, and I felt sick to the core as I realised my last thought would be: I have wasted my time on this earth.
Then something whipped into sight, a blur of silver. The shapeshifter looked confused, then its head toppled to the floor.
The man in the fedora dragged himself into view. He was holding a silver boomerang. “An excellent weapon,” he drawled, “Portable, with an edge that will cut through most anything, and very loyal. It always comes back.”
The decapitated head was already changing back into that of a man. A very dead man.
I turned away and was violently sick.
By the time I had recovered, the man in the fedora had left the room. I ran after him and called out, “Do we still have a deal? I get half of the fee.”
He was stepping into the elevator and did not turn round as he replied, “Yeah, sure. I’m going to collect it now. I’ll meet you later to hand over your share. Be at the alley where we first met, at midnight. And don’t be late.”
The doors slid closed behind him.
I punched the air and said, “Yes!”
I was too wired to head home or go for a drink so once again found myself pacing the streets.
I was excited at the prospect of the cash coming my way, but I wanted more than a pay-off. I wanted to be back on the trail of a monster. I wanted the rush of the confrontation. The elation of victory.
Sure, I was green and I knew there was no way I could strike out on my own. But the way forward was obvious. I had persuaded the man in the fedora to partner up with me once. I would do that again.
I was still telling myself that as I waited for him in the alley. It was five minutes to midnight.
Then midnight came and went and there was no sign of him.
I told myself not to worry. He would be there soon, with my money, and I would seize my opportunity to change my life forever.
But, by one a.m., I was still alone.
I cursed the man in the fedora. Did he think he could rip me off?
Well, there was no way I was going to let that happen.
I set off for his base.
It took me hours to get there on foot. I was exhausted but still furious, until I saw that his door was hanging open.
I knew that someone as security conscious as him would never have left it like that, and my anger dissipated.
My nerves tingling with dread, I slipped inside – to be met by a shocking sight.
The man in the fedora was lying on the floor in a pool of blood.
“No,” I cried out and ran forwards. I knelt next to him and tried to find a pulse, but there was nothing.
I began to weep. And as I did so, laughter drifted from the edge of the room.
I span round. A tall, pale figure dressed all in black walked into view. His eyes were pools of darkness. My mind flashed back to the lone figure in the bar.
The vampire.
Was this his kin?
“You did this.” I spat the accusation out.
The pale figure smiled. “I took my revenge.”
I was shaking as I screamed at him, “You murderer!”
The pale figure shook his head. “No. I did not kill him, because there are worse things than death I can inflict. You will see.”
Then, he walked away, out into the night.
My mind was racing. I needed to do something. But, what?
I decided I should take care of the body first. It was an empty shell now, but I still wanted to treat it with respect.
I grabbed a towel from among the things on the floor and began to clean away the blood. I stopped when I saw two wounds on the neck.
They were small and deep and I knew in my heart what they were.
Bite marks.
I recalled the vampire’s words: … there are worse things than death I can inflict.
And now when I looked down at the man in the fedora’s chest, I could see it was moving. This was so slight, it was no wonder I had missed it, but there was no question now. He was not dead.
He was undead.
I knelt there and watched as his chest rose and fell, as his eyes opened.
I could see the pain in them, the confusion.
“What happened?” he asked. His voice was very faint.
I told him. There was no point in lying. No way back.
And he knew that. Better than me.
“I can’t exist like this. As a monster,” he said in a quiet, weary voice.
Then he asked me to help him get up. I supported him as he struggled to his feet. He took off his fedora and handed it to me.
It was dawn by now and the sun was starting to reach into the room through the skylight.
He began to move through the shadows that remained towards the still open door.
He hesitated for a moment on the threshold, perhaps remembering his own life, perhaps summoning the courage he needed, then he stepped outside.
Through the gap, I could see the smoke rising from his exposed skin as the sunlight touched him.
I closed my eyes. I could not bear to watch.
I stayed like that for a long time. After a while, I moved over to the sofa and collapsed onto it.
I felt more alone and lost than I had ever done in my whole miserable life. The world was infected by evil. How could I find my place in it now my eyes had been opened to this?
At dusk, I made a decision.
There was one thing l could do. One thing I had to do:
Take revenge.
The need for this burnt white hot inside me.
I put the fedora on, picked up a stake and stepped outside.
The rain struck the streets as I stared out into the night. The lights of cars blurred as they passed, and sirens rose and fell in their endless serenade.
I took a deep breath. Excitement and fear mingled inside me. It was time to go to work.

I was stationed in shopping malls where my days were spent asking teenagers to move on. I sat behind desks in the lobbies of office blocks staring at CCTV monitors where nothing happened for hour after hour. And I patrolled construction sites on freezing cold nights, actually wishing someone would try and break in and steal some of the building materials. At least then I could get warm by chasing them.
My job was garbage.
One night, I was responding to an alarm which had gone off at the lot of a car dealership.
I parked up outside. The alarm was flashing but there was no sign of damage to the building so I assumed it was yet another waste of time.
I stood in front of the window and looked at the sleek, high-performance vehicles on display that cost more than I would earn in a lifetime on my pathetic wage. My reflection peered back at me: a sad figure dressed in a grey security guard’s uniform.
I sighed, turned away and headed back to my car. I had left my work phone on the passenger seat. I had to use it to fill in an online form after every call out before leaving the scene and would get my wages docked if I did not complete all the boxes correctly. It felt so futile.
I unlocked the car and was reaching for the door handle when I saw movement across the road. A glimpse of something running on all fours.
It slipped down an alley and away out of sight.
I thought at first that it might have been a fox.
There were a small number of exclusive restaurants in the surrounding blocks and their refuse would be packed with tasty morsels for scavengers. They wouldn’t care that it was leftovers from haute cuisine prepared by a chef with his own show on cable tv.
But my hand hovered over the door handle.
What if it had been a dog? I wondered. A stray destined for the pound that would eventually, heartbreakingly, be put to sleep.
I had always liked dogs a lot. I admired their loyalty and their tenacity, though my circumstances over the years had meant I had not owned one since I was a teenager.
And though I should have got busy filling in the mind-numbing online form, I decided that could wait.
I wanted to see if it was a dog. If it was, maybe I could rescue it and give it a home. That would give my empty life some kind of purpose.
Trying not to think about how I was going to afford to pay for dog food and veterinarian’s bills, I set off on the animal’s trail.
The alley I had entered was narrow and dark. I gave my eyes a moment to adjust then carried on. I moved slowly, not wanting to spook the animal.
I knew that if it felt threated it could lash out, and the last thing I needed was a trip to ER to get treated for a bite.
But there was no sign of it and the only sound was a drunk singing in the distance.
I shook my head sadly. I would have to give up and get back to the car. There would be another job lined up for me by now and the supervisor would be wondering where I was.
I turned – but did not take another step.
A pair of eyes glowed in the darkness ahead of me. They were red and burning with rage.
I could see the snout of the animal now as well and its teeth… only they were not the teeth of any kind of dog or fox. They were way too big, way too sharp.
They were fangs. And they were coming my way.
My guts cramped with fear.
I needed to get out of there or stand and fight. I clenched my firsts.
The animal was close. It began to snarl and crouch. I realised with horror that it was about to go for me.
Suddenly the alley was filled with the sound of screeching tyres and an engine roaring like it was fit to burst.
A car sped into view. It was backing in and barely fit into the cramped space. Its sides scraped along the sides of the alley with a sickening screech. Then it slammed to a halt.
I heard a door open, and a man stepped out of the driver’s seat.
He wore a battered leather coat that reached almost to his ankles. A fedora was balanced at a rakish angle on his head.
He smiled, and I saw the glint of a gold tooth.
“Well, howdy,” he said to me, “I will take it from here.”
The animal had not moved since he had arrived on the scene. It had remained low to the ground, its teeth bared, its hackles raised.
The man stood tall before it, patted a holster on his hip and said, “I got six silver pieces in here. I will need only one. There will be no morning after regrets then. The only thing waiting for you will be a cold hard grave.”
It was insane. He was speaking to a crazed animal as if it could understand him.
The animal responded with a howl, then leapt at him.
Moving with lightning speed and agility, the man rolled out of the way and was back on his feet in a flash. He drew, and a loud retort filled the alley – all while the animal was still mid-air.
The impact of the projectile sent it spiralling down. It hit the ground heavily and did not move.
I stood there transfixed, barely able to breathe.
The man opened the trunk of his car, picked the animal up and placed it inside.
As he closed the trunk, I could swear I saw pale human skin appearing beneath the animal’s fur.
The man turned back to me. “Word of advice, stranger. Stay out of dark alleys on nights like these. The full moon’s real pretty, but she brings out the beast.”
Then he tapped the brim of his fedora in a relaxed salute and climbed back into his car.
I was left standing watching open-mouthed as he drove away.
I had not noticed that it was a full moon but, when I looked up, I saw it burning bright in the dark city night.
I took a deep breath and headed back to my car.
There were missed calls on my work phone and a red-flagged email telling me to report to personnel in the morning.
I did not tell the drone in the suit who I met in the security company’s headquarters at 9.30 the next day what had happened in the alley. I knew that was pointless. There was no way he would believe me – and, it turned out, the damage was already done.
I listened as he told me that I was fired for taking an unauthorised break.
It took all my self-control not to reach over the desk, grab him and tell him exactly what I thought of his organisation and his stupid face.
With my head held high, I walked out onto the street. I had my dignity but nothing else. I was unemployed and close to broke.
I needed to think. I decided it was too early to go to a bar and consider my options over a stiff drink, and my cramped apartment was the last place I wanted to be when I was already feeling down, so I set off walking.
I had no destination in mind, I just drifted.
As I paced the streets, my mood got bleaker and bleaker. I could not see a way out of the dire situation I was in.
Finally, as dusk fell, I gave in to the temptation of a drink. There was a bar on the corner. It had no windows and there was broken glass and cigarette ends scattered across the sidewalk in front of it.
It was a dive.
Ideal for a loser like me then, I figured, and headed in.
The inside of the bar was hazy with smoke and dimly lit by a fluorescent strip that was dancing with flies. There were half a dozen patrons nursing beers, and a juke box was playing a song about looking for love.
The only thing anyone was going to find in this place was regret and stale breath.
I headed to the bar and ordered a double bourbon neat. The barman slid over a glass and poured out the drink.
The rim of the glass had more fingerprints on it than a crime scene. Telling myself that alcohol was a very effective disinfectant, I downed the bourbon in one, then turned to leave.
Call it the ambiance, call it the dirty looks I was getting because my eyebrows did not meet in the middle, but this bar was not helping my mood one little bit.
I was almost back at the door, when it swung open and the man from the alley strolled in.
His fedora, long leather coat and confident strut made him stand out a mile in the seedy bar.
He looked at me and I saw recognition in his eyes, but he carried on right by me without a word and made his way towards a lone figure sitting at a corner table.
I’d paid this man no heed before. He was keeping to the shadows and, even as he was approached, he had eyes only for the drink that sat in front of him.
Common sense was telling me that there was about to be trouble and I should leave, but I had not ended up one step away from the gutter by listening to my common sense.
So I leant against a wall and watched and waited.
The man wearing the fedora had reached the table. He had his back to me, but I imagined a gold tooth glinting as he said, “It is time to end this.”
His voice was calm and cold. He meant business.
The lone figure responded by taking a long drink, then placing his glass back down slowly and deliberately. The sound of the glass clinking on the tabletop was the loudest sound in the bar by now.
The juke box was silent and everyone else in there seemed transfixed by the encounter as well.
The lone figure got to his feet. He was slender and dressed all in black. In the gloom, his eyes were two points of darkness and his skin looked drained of all colour.
Then he smiled, and I felt a cold chill run through my body.
The tips of his teeth were viciously sharp points. Had he had filed them down to be like that? I wondered. Or was there another explanation?
One that belonged far from the light of day, in a dank, dark place like this.
The lone figure kept smiling as he said, “That’s not going to happen. It’s night now, so I will be leaving here to get myself a drink that satisfies my thirst. The plasma they keep behind the bar for me here just doesn’t cut it. In fact, this whole situation lacks bite.”
Then he snarled and his jaws snapped open. His grotesque teeth looked like a steel trap. One that was about to close around the neck of the man in the fedora.
But, once again, he moved at speed, producing a sharp wooden stake from inside his leather coat and striking it into the heart of the lone figure – who screamed then crumbled into dust.
The man in the fedora turned to walk away.
Only his path to the door was blocked by the barman. He held a sawn-off. “You should not have done that,” he said. “Vampires are my best customers.”
Then he let loose with both barrels.
There was nothing the man in the fedora could do. He was sent flying backwards, crashing through chairs and tables before sliding to a halt.
Appalled at this vicious assault, I threw myself at the barman and knocked him out with a right hook.
Then I scrambled over to the man in the fedora. He was in a bad way, but he was still breathing. His eyes flickered opened.
I forced a reassuring smile onto my face and said, “Don’t try and move. I’ll call 911.”
“No, there’ll be too many questions.” he gasped and tried to sit up. His face contorted with pain and he swore. Then, through gritted teeth, he said, “Help me get out of here.”
I had no idea what he was talking about and still thought calling the authorities was the best thing to do, but I saw that the other customers were giving us filthy looks and that the barman was coming round. I decided that getting out of there as soon as possible was the wisest option after all.
I helped the man in the fedora get to his feet and took as much of his weight as I could as we struggled towards the door and out into the night.
I recognised his car parked across from the bar. He gave me the keys and collapsed into the passenger seat.
I was about to tell him I was not insured to drive his vehicle when I saw the door of the bar open and the barman emerge.
Getting pulled over for a traffic offense was small change compared to the volley that was about to come our way, so I dived into the car, gunned the engine and gripped the wheel as we sped away.
I almost hit a car at the next intersection but swerved just in time. My heart was beating way too fast and I was coated in sweat. Then the headlights of a truck filled my line of vision and its horn blasted out a warning.
It missed us by inches.
I could not take it anymore. I pulled up at the side of the road and sat there shaking.
I glanced over at the man in the fedora and was amazed to see he was grinning.
“What in Hades’ name is going on?” I snapped.
“I am a freelance operative,” he replied. “I am paid by the government to eliminate monsters.”
I looked at him, lost for words.
“Sounds crazy, I know,” he continued. “But I assure you I don’t need a straight-jacket, just one more favour. I live a couple of blocks from here. I’m figuring it would be safer to walk the rest of the way and, while my Kevlar vest, soaked up most of the blast I’m still in a world of pain…”
He left it hanging there.
I sighed then told him I’d help him get home but that was it.
A day that had started with me being fired had descended into chaos and my nerves were shredded.
With him leaning on me we made our way slowly through the streets, until finally we reached what looked to me like a derelict warehouse. Even though it was late, a steady stream of traffic passed by. This city never slept.
“This is my place,” he said, while unlocking the door with a big brass key. The door opened with a creak and I helped him inside.
He flicked a light switch on, revealing a long open plan room that was a strange mix of workshop and living space.
An old and very comfortable looking sofa sat in front of a tv that looked about thirty years old. There was a fridge nearby, a stove, and a sink that was piled high with dishes.
A tool box stood open on the floor near to the sink, and a wide wooden workbench ran along the side of one wall.
There was an unmade bed as well, and an empty clothes hanger. Rumpled clothes lay scattered across the floor.
“I’m guessing you live here alone,” I said.
He shrugged and responded with, “Wherever I lay my stakes, that’s my home.”
I thought he was joking until I saw the row of wooden stakes lined up against one of the walls. The tip of each was sharpened – just like the one he had used in the bar.
He tapped the nearest one and said, “I like to keep plenty of replacements. Always seem to be leaving the things behind.”
Then he made his way over to the sofa and sunk down onto it.
I could see he was still in a lot of pain, but his breathing was regular and as I watched his eyelids closed and he started to snore quietly.
It was time for me to make my exit – only I could hear the rain falling heavily against the roof of the building. It sounded filthy outside, and I was beat.
There was an armchair in one corner of the room. It looked ancient and the lining was split open in a bunch of places. At that moment in time, it also looked incredibly comfortable.
I dragged myself over and pretty much collapsed onto it.
I don’t even remember closing my eyes.
The next thing I knew, I was blinking and yawning and rubbing my face. The morning sun was reaching into the room from a skylight and there was a pot of coffee brewing on the stove.
There was also a fax machine whirring into life.
I thought they’d gone the way of the dinosaurs so was bemused by the spectacle as a printout appeared. I went over to see what was on the sheet of paper.
It was a two-tone reproduction of a mug shot. Whoever it was, was not going to win any beauty contests. He looked desperate and dangerous. He also appeared human, but I assumed there was more to him than met the eye, if he was of interest to a monster hunter.
Below the picture there was a dollar sign followed by four figures.
I whistled quietly to myself. To a man in my dire financial straits, it was a substantial sum.
I was thinking how having that kind of money in my pocket would have made my life a whole lot better, when the man who I had helped the night before came into the room.
He took the printout from me, studied it, then said, “Looks like it’s time for me to go back to work.”
His leather coat and fedora were on the floor. He started to bend over to pick them up but pulled up in pain.
“Look,” I said. “If I understand this right, and you’re going to try and take out that desperado for that fee, then I would say you are going to fail. I reckon at the best you’ve cracked a couple of ribs. What you need is a partner, with a fifty-fifty split of the money when we succeed.”
He did not look happy about my suggestion and replied, “It will be dangerous in the extreme. You must realise that after seeing the last couple of vermin I took out?”
Unease trickled through me. But I wasn’t going to be put off that easily. I really wanted the money.
I pointed at the mug shot and asked, “What kind of monster is this?”
He grabbed a second page that had appeared from the fax machine, read it, then told me, “It says he is a shapeshifter. He is more dangerous than the lycanthrope I killed in the alley because he can change at will, not just during the full moon, and he could well share the cold logic of the vampire from the bar. The amount of the fee reflects this.”
I swallowed and tried to pretend like I was not scared as I said, “My offer to partner up with you still stands.”
He felt his ribs then looked me in the eye and growled, “Let’s do this thing.”
He drove this time, wincing every time we hit a pothole.
I had the two printouts on my lap and was leafing through an old A to Z of the city. I was looking for the street name that was among the details provided on the second sheet of paper.
“You do know it’s much easier to do this online,” I told him, as yet another bump in the road made me lose my page.
“Easier, but risky,” he told me. “Emails and messaging services are frequently hacked but no one is looking for information sent by fax. And who’s to say someone is not looking at the results of your internet searches the moment you bring them up.”
“I guess you don’t trust money being wired into banks either. So how do you get paid?” I said with a cynical tone.
He replied without missing a beat: “In cash. Used notes. Collected from drop off points, and never the same place. Do you like being given cash in hand? I know I do.”
I had to smile. He had me there. I went back to the A to Z.
After a couple of unnecessary detours caused by my rusty map reading, we finally turned into the right street. The apartment block we were looking for was on our left.
Finding monsters in alleys and dive bars had made sense. I also assumed monsters would hang out in graveyards, crumbling mansions, and other generally creepy and run down locations.
As I climbed out of the car and looked up, I was surprised.
The apartment block was sleek and modern. Balconies extended below each window. The views from the upper ones must have been stunning. And back down at ground level there was no graffiti or trash anywhere in sight.
“Are you sure this is the right place?” I asked.
He looked me at me and said, “The fax never lies.”
Then, hiding his pain behind a swagger, he strode up to the entrance and pressed a bunch of intercom buttons all at once.
“Someone is bound to be expecting a delivery,” he said, and sure enough we were buzzed in straight away.
We made our way through the plush lobby and waited on the elevator. The details we had been given also told us the shapeshifter lived in the penthouse suite.
“Must be profitable being a monster,” I said as the display showed the elevator descending.
The man in the fedora kept his attention on the display as he replied, “For some it can be. They use their differences to gather fortunes and power, sometimes through deluded acolytes, sometimes through violence and cunning. For others, though, being different is a curse, pure and simple. They wallow in filth, driven by base instincts to feed and hide. Either way, it is only a matter of time before they are identified as monsters and an operative is sent to end them.”
The elevator arrived and the doors slid open. The interior was wallpapered and there was a small, ornate sofa on one side. More signs that the shapeshifter had clearly done very well for himself.
That was all about to change.
The elevator ride was smooth and swift, and we emerged into a corridor where our boots sank into a thick, white carpet. Out of the corner of my eye I noticed a security camera fixed high on the wall turn to face us.
I pointed it out and whispered, “Motion activated.”
The man in the fedora drew and obliterated the camera. “Not anymore,” he said and walked up to the door leading to the penthouse.
“It’s over,” he yelled then slammed his boot into the door. I noticed for the first time that he had steel toe caps and steel heels. The door cracked, he forced it open and stepped inside.
I followed. I could feel the adrenaline pushing my fear away.
The downtrodden security guard was history, I was a monster hunter’s partner now.
The vestibule of the penthouse was larger than any of the rooms in my apartment. There were oil paintings on the wall and light fittings that sparkled like jewels. A door opened up off it.
The man in the fedora was already barging through it. I hurried after him, into a living room with a floor to ceiling window. High rises soared in the distance.
A man sat in an antique chair in one corner of the room. I recognised him from the mug shot.
He had an arrogant sneer on his face. An arrogance that spread to his voice when he said, “Breaking into my home was a mistake. The last one you will ever make.”
Then he rose to his feet – and began to change.
His entire body expanded and within seconds he loomed over us. His skin cracked and dark fur began to appear. His fingers split open and claws unfurled, and the sneering face that looked down on us was now that of a beast.
It growled and with dizzying speed went for the man in the fedora.
He made to draw, but his injuries must have slowed him because the shapeshifter reached him before he could.
The shapeshifter lashed out with one of its claw-tipped paws, and the man in the fedora was sent flying across the room.
He lay there looking dazed. His leather coat and Kevlar vest were ripped and blood was seeping out.
The shapeshifter raised its claws, ready to inflict a fatal blow.
I had to act. I grabbed a chair and swung this at the shapeshifter. It turned and smashed the chair out of my grip.
I was left standing there as the shapeshifter snarled at me. The only thing I had achieved was to move up the victim chain. I would be diced and sliced and left as a gory mess on the floor.
My life flashed before my eyes, and I felt sick to the core as I realised my last thought would be: I have wasted my time on this earth.
Then something whipped into sight, a blur of silver. The shapeshifter looked confused, then its head toppled to the floor.
The man in the fedora dragged himself into view. He was holding a silver boomerang. “An excellent weapon,” he drawled, “Portable, with an edge that will cut through most anything, and very loyal. It always comes back.”
The decapitated head was already changing back into that of a man. A very dead man.
I turned away and was violently sick.
By the time I had recovered, the man in the fedora had left the room. I ran after him and called out, “Do we still have a deal? I get half of the fee.”
He was stepping into the elevator and did not turn round as he replied, “Yeah, sure. I’m going to collect it now. I’ll meet you later to hand over your share. Be at the alley where we first met, at midnight. And don’t be late.”
The doors slid closed behind him.
I punched the air and said, “Yes!”
I was too wired to head home or go for a drink so once again found myself pacing the streets.
I was excited at the prospect of the cash coming my way, but I wanted more than a pay-off. I wanted to be back on the trail of a monster. I wanted the rush of the confrontation. The elation of victory.
Sure, I was green and I knew there was no way I could strike out on my own. But the way forward was obvious. I had persuaded the man in the fedora to partner up with me once. I would do that again.
I was still telling myself that as I waited for him in the alley. It was five minutes to midnight.
Then midnight came and went and there was no sign of him.
I told myself not to worry. He would be there soon, with my money, and I would seize my opportunity to change my life forever.
But, by one a.m., I was still alone.
I cursed the man in the fedora. Did he think he could rip me off?
Well, there was no way I was going to let that happen.
I set off for his base.
It took me hours to get there on foot. I was exhausted but still furious, until I saw that his door was hanging open.
I knew that someone as security conscious as him would never have left it like that, and my anger dissipated.
My nerves tingling with dread, I slipped inside – to be met by a shocking sight.
The man in the fedora was lying on the floor in a pool of blood.
“No,” I cried out and ran forwards. I knelt next to him and tried to find a pulse, but there was nothing.
I began to weep. And as I did so, laughter drifted from the edge of the room.
I span round. A tall, pale figure dressed all in black walked into view. His eyes were pools of darkness. My mind flashed back to the lone figure in the bar.
The vampire.
Was this his kin?
“You did this.” I spat the accusation out.
The pale figure smiled. “I took my revenge.”
I was shaking as I screamed at him, “You murderer!”
The pale figure shook his head. “No. I did not kill him, because there are worse things than death I can inflict. You will see.”
Then, he walked away, out into the night.
My mind was racing. I needed to do something. But, what?
I decided I should take care of the body first. It was an empty shell now, but I still wanted to treat it with respect.
I grabbed a towel from among the things on the floor and began to clean away the blood. I stopped when I saw two wounds on the neck.
They were small and deep and I knew in my heart what they were.
Bite marks.
I recalled the vampire’s words: … there are worse things than death I can inflict.
And now when I looked down at the man in the fedora’s chest, I could see it was moving. This was so slight, it was no wonder I had missed it, but there was no question now. He was not dead.
He was undead.
I knelt there and watched as his chest rose and fell, as his eyes opened.
I could see the pain in them, the confusion.
“What happened?” he asked. His voice was very faint.
I told him. There was no point in lying. No way back.
And he knew that. Better than me.
“I can’t exist like this. As a monster,” he said in a quiet, weary voice.
Then he asked me to help him get up. I supported him as he struggled to his feet. He took off his fedora and handed it to me.
It was dawn by now and the sun was starting to reach into the room through the skylight.
He began to move through the shadows that remained towards the still open door.
He hesitated for a moment on the threshold, perhaps remembering his own life, perhaps summoning the courage he needed, then he stepped outside.
Through the gap, I could see the smoke rising from his exposed skin as the sunlight touched him.
I closed my eyes. I could not bear to watch.
I stayed like that for a long time. After a while, I moved over to the sofa and collapsed onto it.
I felt more alone and lost than I had ever done in my whole miserable life. The world was infected by evil. How could I find my place in it now my eyes had been opened to this?
At dusk, I made a decision.
There was one thing l could do. One thing I had to do:
Take revenge.
The need for this burnt white hot inside me.
I put the fedora on, picked up a stake and stepped outside.
The rain struck the streets as I stared out into the night. The lights of cars blurred as they passed, and sirens rose and fell in their endless serenade.
I took a deep breath. Excitement and fear mingled inside me. It was time to go to work.
2023.04.01 13:35 RyanzRetroReviewz The Vikings - 1958 Film Review - RyanzRetroReviewz
The Vikings - 1958
The Vikings is a 1958 epic semi historical/romance movie directed by Richard Fleischer (the son of the great american animatoinnovator and early cartoon producer Max Fleischer, responsible for the creations of Popeye the Sailor man, Betty Boop and many more), who after having spent years in the B movie industry, was now riding high on the success of his Walt Disney produced 1954 adaption of the classic Jules Verne novel "20,000 leagues under the sea" (also starring Kirk Douglas) when he decided to take on the helms of this larger scale and more adult oriendted epic full of love, lust and bloodshed all set in the Viking Age of England and Scandinavia.
With the starring role of this picture going to the mammoth of acting that was Kirk Douglas (although before the more well known "Spartacus" from 1961, this is after he had played the part of Perseus in the 1956 "Ulysseus" movie, so he was already on top), fresh off his hot streak with his new sidekick of a director from "20,000" (Douglas personally hired Fleishcer for this, being that it was his own production company behind the financing). He is non-casually joined by the all time (and/or old time) Hollywood couple Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh (progenitors of the now Scream Queen of old, not to mention still world class beauty, Jamie-Lee Curtis) making this their fifth out of eleven movies together, as well as a big old bowl of Ernest Borgnine dumped on top, having already solidified himself on the big screen as both a well known character actor and a main star. Now, when a movie can boast about having such a combination of high quality talent as this, you know it's bound to be great (although, there are exceptions).
The prologue title sequence of this movie alone is worth note, giving us the audience the pleasure of hearing the stern but soothing (if that makes any sense) voice of the great Orson Welles as he explains to us the whos, whats, whens, and why's of the viking expansions and invasions into the British Isles, as well as the political landscape of England itself at this time in history. This is done as we're shown a bunch of spectacuclar tapestry/parchment paper drawings of Vikings battling against Englishmen, complete with a more than perfectly passionate orchestral theme that invokes the thought of the King Arthur tales of yore, all coming together to add a real sense of authenticity to this epic that we've yet to even see begin...which it does with a bang.
Or the swipe of a sword to be more exact, as the viking leader Ragnar (Borgnine) and his band of warriors fall down upon the camp of the English King Edwin of Northumbria. The two leaders enter into a private duel in the King's tent, with Ragnar slaying his foe and further forcing himself down upon the deadman's wife, Queen Enid, ultimately and unknowingly impregnanting her before disappearing back into the Northlands. Knowing that the child is that of Ragnar's, but will still be seen as a threat to the new King Aella (Frank Thring), Enid gives birth to the child whom she names Eric, in secret and finally sends him away to Italy with her most confident of priests, placing the hilt stone of the King's rightful sword on a rope around his next to later one day be indentified as true heir to the throne of Northumbria.
Years later at the court of King Aella, we come to meet princess Morgana of Wales (Janet Leigh), as her Father pledges her to Aella as a token of alliance between their two kingdoms. King Echbert of Wessex (James Donald) is then brought up on charges of aiding the Vikings in their raids on England's kingdom's in order to protect his own lands, and is thrown into the dungeons to die. We learn that the charges are true when Echbert escapes from Northumbria and finds refuge with the Viking leader Ragnar aboard his longship. The vikings travel back to Scandinavia with Echbert and his promises to continue providing them with coastline and river maps for further raid and plunder.
The incredbily wide shot scenes of the long ships coming into port in the fords of Norway are truly spectacular (clearly being filmed on location), elevated by the realistic built sets that make up the Viking and village (not to mention the ships themselves), as well as the dozens of costumes and hairstyles worn by the extras that are showcased throughout (and a really awesome Viking horn blower welcoming the warriors back home each time, echoing the fantastic sounding orchestral theme of the movie yet again). Also, we now get some of that real over the top barbarian type behaviour being portrayed by Ainar (Douglas), son of Rangar, as we, the mostly uneducated in history average film-goer, would expect out of any and all vikings on screen (it is pretty awesome though); complete with beer guzzling, barell smashing, deranged angry tones, and wishes for barrels of blood to guzzle down instead of that of beer.
Ainar hates all Englishmen, but agrees to his Father and Chieftain's demands to keep after Echbert and see that he wants for nothing. One day while breaking in their hunting hawks, Ainar starts up a confrontation with a slave named Eric (Tony Curtis), the unknowing son of Ragnar, subsequent half brother of Ainar, and true King of Northumbria, who had been abducted from his ship en route to Italy all those years ago. Eric then sicks his own hawk that he's recently found onto his oppressor, leaving Ainar with only one good eye, and himself now with a guaranteed death sentence.
At the feasting hall however, a volva woman steps in against Ragnar's judgement of death, claiming that the gods do not wish for Eric to die by any man's hand, to which Ragnar outsmarts and has Eric taken instead to a rock pool off the coast at high tide to await an eventual death from drowning. Echbert though finds the stone from around Eric's neck and, realizing who he is, goes down to the rock pool to save him and claim him as his own slave in order to keep him safe from Ainar. We also get some more awesome over the top barbarian type behavior, now complete with ass smacking, random kissing orgys, more beer guzzling and axes being thrown at a viking's wife's hair braids to judge wether she's been faithful or not (this movie's about as toxic male chauvinist as it gets, but still... really awesome).
Echbert eventually finishes his maps for the Vikings, as well giving them the idea to abduct and ransom Princess Morgana before her marriage to Aella, with Ainar carrying out the task and giving us a pretty decent battle at sea in the process. Ainar though, now falls madly in love with Morgana and wishes to claim her as his own. When back at the hall once again, we get even more over the top barbarian behavior, beer guzzling, rape jokes, etc, etc, (what do you want from them?, they're Vikings), all this before Ragnar finally concedes to his son's wants and needs, allowing him to claim Morgana as his own. But when Ainar tries to force himself upon her, Eric appears from behind and knocks him out, bringing Morgana to escape with him on a boat to England.
A really-rad boat chase scene ensues through the fog filled fjords, culminating in the collision of both Ragnar and Ainar's boats into one another, sending half of the Vikings to their deaths. All but Ragnar that is, who's saved and pulled onto Eric's boat, heading straight for the King of Northumbria. Ainar swears revenge against Eric, while the two escapees fall madly in love en-route to England.
At the court of King Aella, Eric hands over Ragnar then asks that Morgana be relieved of her pledge of marriage, to which she agrees with. The King demands that she take more time to reflect with her priest, then forces Eric to try to take part in the execution of Ragnar by pushing him into a rabid wolf pit. Eric refuses by cutting Ragnar's bonds and giving him a sword, so that he may die a warrior's death and be aloud to enter Valhalla, giving us an extremely climactic ending of Ernest Borgnine's character in this tale as he raises his arms and voice to summon Odin the All-Father, before jumping to his death in the wolf pit, sword in hand and smile on his face (man Vikings were badass!).
Eric has his hand chopped off as punishment and is set adrift into the sea, but not before the priest -and Morgana find the King's "Pummel-stone" amongst Eric's belongings, coming to the realization that he is the true heir of Northumbria. Morgana then runs in the room just in time to see Eric's amputation, letting out a horrific scream at the sight of it (she wasn't called America's first "Scream Queen" for nothing folks. So this is where Jamie-Lee gets it from eh).
Back in Scandinavia, Ainar is now King of the Vikings, but can't seem to raise an army to retrieve Morgana, until Eric comes back and tells them of Ragnar's death. The two (still unknowing) half brothers now team up to defeat the tyrant King Aella, to both gain revenge for Ragnar and to rescue Morgana, leading the "Great Heathen Army" across the sea to England (in the year of our lord 865 for those of you history buffs).
Between the ships leaving of Scandinavia, and the army's landing and setting up of their assault on Northumbria, you really come to ask yourself as to why film-goers are NEVER treated to such a large scale production as this anymore (well, at least not since The Lord of The Rings as I recall). The amount of extras, costume pieces and props required for this must have been incredible, but all completely necessary in the creation of a full on believable historic setting such as this.
So the Vikings land and lay siege unto Aella's stronghold, battering rams, catapults, axes, spears, swords, the works (not to mention Kirk Douglas scaling the Castle's front door using only axes for leverage. Again, you just don't see stuff like this anymore). Ainar cuts his way through to Morgana's room, but upon realizing that she loves Eric, and that Eric is also a son of Ragnar, he takes her to confront his half brother and fight for their prize.
Eric meets Ainar at the top of the castle and the two enter into an extremely well coordinated battle of the blades, until Ainar breaks Eric's sword that is. But Eric seizes a moment of hesitation that befalls Ainar, and stabs his half brother in the gut with the broken down blade of his sword. Ainar then drops his sword, but Eric picks it up and gives it back to him, again allowing for a true Viking death. He uses the last of his strength in a final roar to summon up Odin, then Ainar is no more. Eric and Morgana embrace each other with love bringing us to the end of this movie, but not before treating the audience to an authentic Viking cremation funeral for Ainar, in which he is cast off to see in a ship and flaming arrows sent flying to the mass. We watch the ship and Ainar's body burn as the credits to "The Vikings" comes up once more, leading us into the ending credits with more authentic looking parchment scroll drawings of the Vikings battling against Englishmen, and finally coming together as one (accompanied again by the awe inspiring orchestral themes of yore every step of the way).
To sum it all up, "The Vikings" (1958) is literally THE - BEST Viking movie that's ever been made. Full of high quality A-list stars (to which I'd say is one of both Kirk's and Tony's coolest characters ever portrayed on screen), and a great group of secondary character actors like James Donald, Frank Thring, Eileen Way and many more. The story is well put together by screenwriters Calder Willingham and Dale Wiserman (based on a novel by Edison Marshall), with the underlying theme being the coming together of two peoples, as well as giving us a pretty cool backstory for a very real and historic time in Northwestern Europe. The wide scale shots and surrounding sceneries caught by DP Jack Cardiff are truly amazing, joined by epic scale (and pretty damn authentic) sets-props-hairstyles and makeups, very well coordinated swordfights and stunts, and lets not forget the awe inspiring orchestral theme of yore laid down by composer Mario Nascimbene and conductor Franco Ferrara. All this is brought together perfectly by director Max Fleischer in what was defenitely the largest scale movie of his career. I would recommend this movie not only to fans of retro cinema, but to anyone who loves epic scale warrior movies, as well as to general ancient world history buffs.
And that's all she wrote folks. Thanks for reading.

2023.04.01 13:24 RyanzRetroReviewz The Mountain - 1956 Film Review - RyanzRetroReviewz
The Mountain - 1956
The Mountain is a 1956 adventure/drama movie, starring the great (and sober for this role) Spencer Tracy, just coming off his success in "Bad Day at Black Rock" the year before (as well as over 30 other film roles under his belt), and the younger, but fairly recognizable up and comer at this point in his career, Robert Wagner (known to more modern movie fans as "Number 2" in the "Austin Powers" film series). Having acted alongside each other in multiple roles already, the chemistry between our two lead actors is evident and believable enough as they portray two brothers (although separated by what seems like 10-20 years in age, though this is more common in the real world than people want in film). The plotline follows these two brothers as they make a deathly high-alpine climb to the top of a nearby Mountain (Mount Blanc, France) where an airplane has recently crashed with plans on looting the dead. The movie is directed by Edward Dmytryk, recently back from being blacklisted from the film industry, as well as serving a short stint in prison with the other "Hollywood Ten" who refused to testify to the House of Un-American Acitivities Committe in their investigations during the Cold War\McCarthy-era "Red scare". Previously known for his 1940s noir films, particularly "Crossfire" from 1947 (one of the earliest films to deal with the subject of anti-semitism), upon Dmytryk's return to Hollywood, he solidified himself yet again with "The Caine Mutiny" in 1954 before bringing together our two leads for their first time in the same year with "Broken Lance", then going on to direct 3 more films before coming across French novelist's Henri Troyat's recent novel "La Neige en Deuil" (inspired by the true airplane crash of Air Indian Flight 245 in 1950) and deciding to bring it alive on screen, acting as both producer and directer for his first time.
We start the movie off with a bang, when a commercial plane crashes atop a snow filled mountain peak, leaving what seems like no survivors. Down below at the nearest village, Zachary Teller leads a simple life of a sheep-herder on his longtime family farm, while currently constantly dodging out a lovestruck neighboring widow who desperately needs a new husband. His younger brother however, Christopher Teller, is angry and envious with his position in life, working as a server\porter boy, waiting on rich skier and mountaineer guests at the village's local mountain resort, as well as sharing the family home with his more respected big brother Zach.
When word arrives of the downed airplane atop the mountain, a rescue party is put together to retrieve any possible survivors and their worldly possessions. Once having been the most experienced mountaineer in the area (and one of the only people to have ever even made the climb), Zachary is asked to lead to climbing expedition, to which he denies on the count of having lost a man over the edge on his last climb years ago.
Later that night at home, the two brothers argue over the ownership of the house, with Christopher wishing to sell it and Zachary wanting to keep it in the family for as long as possible.
The next morning, the unsuccessful expedition returns having lost their main guide (and Zachary's old mountaineering friend) Tsavos, in the midst of the climb.
Again at home that night, the brother's get into another argument, with Christopher this time trying to push Zachary to lead him up the mountain so as to loot the apparent rich, and now dead passengers. This would give Chris the means to leave the village and put to rest his hopes of selling the family farm. But Zachary shoots down the idea for the sake of both his brother's safety and soul, even offering to renounce his claim over the family farm. Already having the idea stuck in his head though, Christopher likewise denies Zachary's offer and stands firm on making the climb alone, forcing his brother to relent in leading him up the mountain. The two brothers pack their gear and start their way up to the base of the mountain at first light.
The next portion of the movie takes us on a spectacular scenic journey, using a combination of stock shots, matte paintings, and practical built rock walls to showcase not only the mountain and landscape itself, but also emphasizing on the physical capabilities of the plus 50 year old Zachary Teller. As the lead climber, Zach makes his way up and along frozen rock walls and narrow ledges, using the strength of his hands and feet alone, all while using hammer and stakes to fix a line of ropes for his less experienced brother to follow.
We're treated to a quick scare when Christopher takes a slip and goes falling down some way before Zachary finally gets hold of the rope and pulling his brother back up to safety, ripping his palms into a bloody mess in the process.
By now the tables have turned in the brothers' mindsets, Christopher now wishing to turn back out of fear, and Zachary now too far into his goal of conquering the mountain yet again, clear forgetting the reason why they started the climb in the first place. Zach convinces his brother to continue on and up to the summit, and that the worst of it is now over.
Together, now using their ice axes and crampon shoes, the brothers hike up the snowy (now on location) summit without problem, finally arriving at the top of the mountain and the plane wreckage in which they came for. While Zachary is full of pride and achievement at what they've accomplished together as brothers, Chris has no care for their triumphs, and shows his true colors as a man by immediately looting treasures from the dead, as well as breaking a cross which Zach puts together from wreckage to hide the evidence of anybody having even been there.
The underlying theme of this movie now finally surfaces in full (the massive feat of scaling the mountain acting as a metaphor for how difficult it is for Zach to accept how horrible his brother truly is, and to finally turn his back on him) when the brothers discover an Indian woman still alive in the back of the plane. Zach cares for her over night and hitches her up to a sled in the morning to drag her down the mountain, but Chris seeing this as a clear obstacle now in the way of him and his riches, throws his older brother down to the ground and tries to strangle the woman to death. Zachary now rises up and strikes his younger brother down to the ground with some good old classic Spencer Tracy style (starting onscreen and ending offscreen, complete with sound effects) punches to the face, before turning around and leaving Chris to get down the mountain on his own.
Zachary single handedly drags and hoists the surviving Indian woman down the side of the mountain, forcing him to use a different route from before, he comes to a pair of untrustworthy looking snow bridges. He inspects the first and decides against it, but still almost looses the woman while crossing over the second. An angry and frantic Christopher finally catches up to the pair and decides not to listen to his own brother's warnings about the remaining bridge, attempting and failing to cross it when the weight gives out, sending him falling to his death into an unknown depth of crevasse.
Zachary Teller, although completely heartbroken now from having lost his brother both in spirit and in body, wastes no time on mourning and continues on down the mountain with the injured Indian woman in tow.
Upon arrival back to the village, Zachary shoots down all claims that he is a hero of any sorts, and lies about his brother's inhuman actions on the mountain, telling instead the opposite story; that it was he, Zach Teller, who came up with the idea and continued on with his obsession of looting the dead, and that his brother Christopher Teller had only went along solely to aid in the safety of his Zach.
Though nobody believes it, they all give Zachary the benefit of not calling him out as a liar, and his brother as a bad man (all save for the village priest that is). He gets into the widowed neighbor lady's carriage with her and together they head "home" to live happily ever after. A final glance back at the mountain for old Zach Teller finally puts all his stored up inner strife's to bed for good, bringing us from the image of one mountain to another with the classic closing of all the Paramount Pictures movies.
To sum it all up, The Mountain (1956) is a truly amazing piece of retro cinema. Starting with a simple plotline on the surface, and changing into a more complicated family dynamic as the film goes on. This movie set the bar for the man vs. nature genre in film, as well as the common underlying theme in which these plotlines usually emphasize on, with the conquering and/or survival of certain physical hardships (in this case, the scaling of the mountain) simply acting as a metaphor for the deeper internal struggles in which our main charactes must finally come to face. Our two leads actors handle this all with extreme authenticity and sincirety, particularly Spencer in one of his most memorable and suitable roles of his entire career. The combination of both on location shots and special effect built sets make the setting for this movie more than believable enough (as long as you have an imagination enough for movies of both this time and this genre). All this being brought together and guided over by Dmytryk as both director and producer, making this (in my personal opinion that is), one of the greatest film achievements of his career as well. A classic film for all fans of the man vs. nature genre, and all around awesome retro movies in general.
And that's all she wrote folks. Thanks for reading.

2023.04.01 13:21 RyanzRetroReviewz Island in the Sky - 1953 Film Review - RyanzRetroReviewz
Island in the Sky - 1953
Island in the sky is a 1953 adventure/aviation-disaster movie, directed by William A. Wellman, and starring John Wayne, as well as an ensemble cast of well known B-feature actors of their day, including; Lloyd Nolan, Walter Abel, James Arness, Andy Devine and Harry Carey, Jr.
The story is based off the novel of the same name, and apparent true story by the writer Ernest K. Gann, concerning a downed airplane of the Air Transport Command during WWII, the survival of its crew, and the subsequent search and rescue operation throuhgout the frozen and unmapped Canadian North to save them.
This movie, along with another Ernest K. Gann novel turned into film "The High and The Mighty" relased one year later in 1954 (also by the Wayne and Welland duo), would go on to set the bar for the all-star cast aviation-disaster style movies that were to follow starting with 1970's "Airplane", and it's subsequent sequels.
The movie starts off with what feels like an authentic educative wartime newsreel, taking us into the lives of the civilian air transportation command of World War 2, what it is they do, and what perils they face in the skies.
From this sequence we come to meet pilot Captain Dooley and the rest of the crew of "The Corsair", crossing over the Canadian north, en-route back from a delivery of army supplies overseas. When a severe snowstorm causes the plane's wings to ice over, the rough and tumble Douglas C-47 Skytrain makes a crash landing on down onto a frozen lake somewhere near the Quebec-Labrador border. Now with no bearings, limited radio contact and poor supplies of food and clothing, the crew now relies on the hopes that a search-and-rescue party will find them, and quick.
The other half of this movie is shown from the viewpoint of multiple other pilots, as they relentelesly plan, and carry out multiple different search-and-rescue operations for their downed comrades from their last known position, in completely unmapped terriritory.
This ensemble cast of feature character actors delivers a perfect blend macho-comedy and strong emotional determination, as they defy all odds and show no fear in the face of the frozen skies, refusing to even entertain the idea that the crew of the Corsair could have perished, no matter how hopeless the situation becomes.
Back down at the Corsair, in continuing on with the classic "Wayne-way", Dooley does his job as leader and keeps up the spirits of the others, setting round the clock tasks to keep everybody's mind at ease, including the building of a warmer bush shelter in change of the cold steel airplane.
However, when the rescue party flies directly over the Corsair without even seeing it (having been buried in a snowstorm the night before), coupled with the death of one from the harsh elements, hope begins to dwindle for Dooley and the rest of the crew.
Will the rescue party make a second turn around the area before the severe weather closes in? Will Dooley and the crew of the Corsair survive the elements in time to be found alive?
To sum it all up, Island in the Sky is an extremely enjoyable movie, full of top notch acting, showing Wayne in arguably one of his greatest full on "acting" roles ever (one of the only to show him in a dire state of hopeless panic), but truly elevated by the surplus of veteran character actors.
This coupled along with the absolute realistic on location shoot of the snowy crash site, more than believable interior sets, authentic costuming, and amazing first hand aerial photography (thanks to WWII combat photographer and pioneer in aerial cinematography William H. Clothier) using 3 separate contemporary army transport airplanes.
When all rounded together by the all time great director William A. Wellman (who himself was known as "Wild Bill" in his World War 1 flying days and went on to direct many of the greatest aviation movies of his era starting with "Wings" in 1929), this movie has almost nothing negative to say about it, plain and simple.
And that's all he wrote folks. Thanks for reading.

Over the course of three films so far, we’ve seen the consequences of what can happen when one of the world’s greatest hitmen comes out of retirement. John Wick, AKA Baba Yaga or The Boogeyman, is a man who is not to be trifled with under any circumstances, yet criminals can never seem to learn their lesson. This incredibly popular series began with John (Keanu Reeves) seeking revenge on the men that invaded his home, stole his car, and worst of all, killed his puppy, Daisy. From here, endless complications have prevented John from returning to retirement as he has traveled around the world and gone on the run. Now, in John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023), we’ll get to witness the titular hitman’s greatest challenge yet as he seeks revenge on the High Table. A council of highly respected (and feared) crime lords, they run the criminal underworld’s most powerful and notorious organizations; so needless to say, John has a punishing task ahead of him.
Chad Stahelski’s sequel impressively outdoes the critical success of its predecessors, with John Wick: Chapter 4’s positive reviews being the best of the franchise. The movie already holds a Certified Fresh 93% score from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, which is higher than the two sequels’ 89% scores and the original’s 86% rating. John Wick: Chapter 4 is also expected to be the franchise’s biggest box office success yet, meaning it’s apt to enjoy a long exclusive theatrical window before releasing on streaming.
