Stream of Consciousness

Would you kill Hitler?. Content Warning.
That is the question often asked in drunk company. Would you kill Hitler if you could go back in time? You won't usually find any disagreement when somebody answers yes. However, there was a major problem in my case. I was the only one sober so I started thinking. The fact that I'm also a bit autistic didn't do me any favours here, because I was about to lay down one of the coldest explanations ever. As you would have guessed by now, I said "no"… All the faces turned pale in disbelief, the shock on their face is hard to describe in words even for a senior writer. I quickly realised the situation could escalate if I don't clarify my answer fast. What did I drag myself into? I wasn't even invited to this party to begin with. By now I'm really wishing I could go back in time and give a different answer… It's too late for that. I have to embrace the reality now.

Serena. Content Warning.
This story comes with a Dharrsheena warning. They say death is a funny old thing, whoever they are. I assume they mean peculiar as there's nothing humorous about it. And I should know as I've met it face-to-face this week.

A Literary Blast From the Past: Animal Farm Review/Reflection
Introduction: A University Encounter with Orwell I was first introduced to George Orwell's "Animal Farm" during my second year of university, an experience that would indelibly shape my literary tastes and deepen my love for writing and poetry. As a literature student, my syllabus was packed with canonical texts, but "Animal Farm" stood out, not merely for its narrative prowess but for the profound thematic resonances that echoed long after I turned the final page. The novel, with its deceptively simple prose and rich allegorical depth, was among the pivotal works that ignited my passion for literature and the nuanced craft of storytelling.

The Voodoo shop of Caribbean solstice 🏝️
Summer solstice Caribbean style is not your Momma's solstice. Better break out the sunscreen and air conditioning, which, BTW, most of the Island folks cannot afford to pay the enormous electrical bills for. The lovely tourists may need to keep their cool cars, buses and limos close by.
