(A contemporary inversion of Kafka’s Metamorphosis)

  I was scuttling along the walls when I lost my grip and fell onto the notebook with a soft thump. It felt like a thump to me but for the giant human that now faced me, I doubt the sound was even perceptible. I prided myself on my ability to cling to walls but the ability had failed me today, leading to my immediate and quite dire straits. To…

So I finished reading John Grisham s innocent man which was nerve wracking to say the least. Karl Fontenot along with Tommy Ward have been in prison for 31 years now and for a crime they didn’t commit.

Song For The Day

MUDMEN – The Quest for Humanity(OUT NOW!!!)

There is an artifact in his possession which gives him power over all else, but that artifact is stolen by the very creatures…

MUDMEN – A Delirious Tale

What if you thought you could play a better god, than God?

Mudmen is a story unlike anything you have ever seen before. It is meant to push the very boundaries of man’s imagination. It all starts with a half-crazed dwarf scribbling furiously on a piece of paper while the world outside his little cottage is ravaged by a great storm. There is an artifact in his possession which gives him power over…
