Age of The Geek, Baby!

“There’s No Secrets On The Internet. When Will People Learn This?”

– Alex Hardison

The duality of Alex Hardison

What if Alex Hardison didn’t have empathy?

Leverage has always been one of my favorite TV shows and Alex Hardison was the reason why (click here to learn more). He was like me in almost every single way as he was nerdy and funny with a loving heart. Not only that he was African American and sexy as all holy hell. I seriously had a big crush on him – and the actor – from the very beginning of the series. Looking back on that character, I had one question that led me to this question: What if Alex Hardison was evil? Well, “evil-ish” but you get my point. Nevertheless, the results were the same as A Sociopath’s Con ended up being created.

A Turn To The Past

Feminism…is not ‘women as victims’ but women refusing to be victims.”
― Gloria Steinem, The Trouble With Rich Women

The duality of feminism

What if I could seek justice against my cousin for his torment towards me?

I was having way too much fun with creating Maya, the focal character behind “A Woman’s Worth“,  that I decided to create a prequel of sorts for her character. Nothing too big as I wanted to save the rest for the series that I have planned for her. It’s interesting because I originally wanted a new character for the story and run with that. But when Natasha, a friend of mine, read the story she saw that the two characters had a lot of things in common aside from the fact that they are powerful women.

The Obviously Stronger Sex

“You educate a man; you educate a man. You educate a woman; you educate a generation.”
― Brigham Young

The duality of feminism

What if you could properly punish a person for lying about being raped?

Oh, you have no idea how much fun I had with this story. It was a story that was begging to be told and I can’t tell you how much darker I originally wanted the story to be. Oh, wait…I can actually. I wanted there to be a public execution but thought that was too much for the point that I was trying to convey to my audience. I was riding high on the #METOO movement and cheering with the real feminist that made it possible for all those terrible human beings to be put behind bars. Alas, we still have a long way to go. You know…one step forward, two steps back. Don’t know what I’m talking about? Well…

There’s Great Plans For This Little Story…and Demon

by dimensionaltales

Above all, don’t lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

The duality of truth and lies.

So, remember my thirteenth short story, The True Color of Karma, where I introduced a creature of my own creature for future projects (click here for the post and here to buy the story).  I wanted to have a healthy source of creatures, beings, and demons I can callback to for future. But this particular time around, I wanted to create a creature that was very personal to me and that could be virtually indestructible. That may be a something of a mistake for a writer but let me explain how Mirror, Mirror came about.

One of America’s Public Enemy

by dimensionaltales

When a country with less than five percent of the world’s population has nearly half of the world’s privately owned guns and makes up nearly a third of the world’s mass shootings, it’s time to stop saying guns make us safer.
― DaShanne Stokes

What if the American people had enough of the NRA?

The duality of the NRA/gun control.

I cannot tell you how much I dislike the NRA. Why? It’s not for the reasons you think. It’s not because I don’t like guns. I mean…I don’t like them although I am capable of using them being trained by my uncle. No no. I don’t like the NRA because they can’t seem to keep themselves out of grown-up’s conversation. My country has the highest number of mass shootings in the world by a colossal margin and the NRA has the arrogance to still spout out their nonsense while intervening in the path of progression towards America’s safety.  They are doing more harm than good and I wanted to convey that message through Enough Is Enough because, seriously, enough is enough.
