It's the Holidays(ish)!

Hello, and an early Happy Holidays to you! I'm already off school as exams are over now!

Mindscape will not be updated as often this holiday, as I'll be busy on my new project: K and N Holiday Novels! I'll still post a couple of times here, but not as often as it might be expected since I have so much time on my hands.
Yeah, yeah, I know I already have a lot of stuff on my hands already like Puppetmaster Story and Teen and T-shirts but this is a challenge for me to write almost everyday and to create an "alternate reality" story.

So check out the progress on the novel blog, and give some feedback :)
Thanks!

Gravity

Sometimes I wonder 
that maybe 
gravity 
is created by a machine 
that the government uses 
to keep us here... 
under their control.

Maybe we can really breathe 
in space 
but they are scared of us 
wanting more than 
they can give us. 

I
really
do
wonder.

A Late Fall Evening

The pale full moon 
veiled by the pastel clouds 
hangs above the stark branches 
in the still light sky. 

So washed out, 
it doesn't compare to the vibrant 
reds, 
oranges 
and purples 
behind me as the sun sets, 
its brilliance refracted and magnified by the 
glassy towers 
and pinnacles. 

But as the sky darkens 
and clouds turn to a dark grey 
that blends into the night, 
the moon 
is now a bright disc above my head 
with a single star accompanying it.

Fourteen Candles

He walks into the classroom, 
brandishing his gun. 
His shouts echo around the room 
ordering the men and women to separate, 
punctuated by the gunshots he fires.
Fear and tension starts to thicken 
in the air. 
He shouts at the women, 
saying he hates them, 
hates their kind. 

All hell broke loose.

Gunshots are heard throughout the school.

The man believed his actions 
were just. 

By the end of the day, there were 15 dead.

14 women 
and the man. 

----------------------------------

The girls light their candles, 
their fourteen candles, 
shining light upon the white ribbons. 

They gently blow the flame out
just as the women's hopes, 
dreams 
and lives had disappeared.


Today is the 22nd anniversary of the Ecole Polytechnique massacre that happened in Quebec. A 25 year old man walked into the engineering school and started systematically murdering women, and then commits suicide. If you'd like some more history on this tragedy, here's the link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/École_Polytechnique_massacre
Because of this violent and awful incident, December 6th is National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women day. 
Please take a moment to remember those women who have suffered or died because of female-targeted violence. And all you guys out there, please take the pledge to never be violent towards women and to never stay silent about it if you know. Thank you.
