Maleficent’s Curse
deep in the thorns where the shadows creep where roses bleed and dreamers sleep a horned queen waits with hollow eyes weaving doom in silken lies her whispers slither through the air a viper’s kiss, a lover’s snare her laughter cracks like brittle bone a crown of night, a heart of stone one prick, one drop, the world unwinds the spindle hums, the darkness...

China, Philippines, Japan, and Taiwan all claim possession of South China sea - China claims it owns the sea because it has the name China on it. Syrian warfare is like venom of different animals mixed together in a dark blender; you can't tell...

My sir name is not Grimm and this is not a fairytale. On nights when wolves howl and the moon is pale, I become another being when my arms begin to flail. I wrestle with the urge to stop, but always to no avail. I bit into a poisoned apple and thought I would die. Peering back at me in...
