Dream Journal #3: The Time Witch

“The Time Witch” was inspired by a dream I had way back on July 6th, 2012. Last night, Ellora the witch and her two companions were using time magic to destroy children’s parents, thus erasing the kids from ever existing. I watched it happen. She needed the child’s shoe, and then she would perform aContinue reading “Dream Journal #3: The Time Witch”

Dream Journal #2: The Voice Teacher

My second post in this series comes from a dream I had on August 19, 2016. To give you some context, my friend, Anna, is a singer/songwriter who used to regularly play shows in my hometown at one of the local coffee shops. Over time, we became friends, and I eventually had the opportunity toContinue reading “Dream Journal #2: The Voice Teacher”

A Day in the Life of a Zergling

I’m not sure what causes them (perhaps it’s a lot like this Angry Beavers episode), but I’ve been fortunate to be able to remember a majority of them so I canContinue reading “Dream Journal #1: Samurai Magic”

Goombas Caught in the Middle

This is my interview with one courageous goomba who lived to see it all happen. Me: “How did this all start?” Gretchen: “It all began when that mustached fellow showed up,” recounted Gretchen Goomba, as she took her daily walk. “My friend, Gary and I, were out for a stroll over by the old plumbingContinue reading “Goombas Caught in the Middle”

Reset: Ness is Mario

A large portion of my wake-up routine includes reading news about video games and upcoming movie musings. This heavy reading leads to heavy thinking, and after googling to see if this topic idea has already been discussed in the world, I’m now writing crazy fan theories. Are you ready for this? Are you sure? Okay……Continue reading “Reset: Ness is Mario”
