Everyone moves on, everything moves on. Mocking me, while I’m stuck inside the walls of claustrophobia. It’s been six years since I’ve been fixed in the same position, the same room. Two thousand, nine hundred and ninety days, three million, one hundred and fifty three thousand, six hundred minutes. So much time to…

fucking his face like he were a worthless cumbucket fucktoy, with Gatlocke taking his damned sweet time opening Rex’s slacks and reaching into his boxers. By the time fingers wrapped around his wet, aching dick— twirling languid circles around the sensitive head, fuuuck— the sob that escaped him wasn’t even near being forced. Gatlocke hissed in response to the sound and shoved forward, closing the remaining gap between his cock and Rex’s open throat. Rex gagged, but Gatlocke plunged deep…

Pages 305-307 → Film The day was fading into a soft sun-shot haze, pricked here and there by a yellow electric light, and passers were rare in the little square into which they had turned. Dallas stopped again, and looked up. "It must be here," he said, slipping his arm through his father 's with a movement from which Archer 's shyness did not shrink; and they stood together looking up at the house. It was a modern building, without distinctive character, but many-windowed, and pleasantly…

“Hills like White Elephants,” by Ernest Hemmingway and, “The Story of an Hour,” by Kate Chopin are both short stories that take place in short periods of time and focus on the relationship of a couple. Though the stories differ greatly, they are similar in that they both include the use of a train as a symbol and in their focus of the women in the relationships introduced. The trains in both stories are the most significant similarity because they represent the different futures that Jig and Mrs…

Time is one of the very few things every human on planet Earth has in common. Everyone has to deal with it whether they experience good times or bad. In James Schuyler 's "Hymn to Life," time is represented through many different things and in many different means. This poem describes and fully entangles both the good and the bad that time gives us here throughout our lives. Schuyler manages to offer up conflicting views on time throughout the duration of the poem, and because of this he creates…

present with all that comes our way. A while back we buried a friend. He had been sick, but his death came sooner than expected. We were barely able to keep up with the harsh pace of his illness and still struggle with his passing. Around the same time, I found a little kitten on the street, not even two weeks old, thrown away with the garbage. A carefully planned day turned chaotic the moment I picked him up. Life is not a program we can schedule for. We cannot will away events once they have…

But Locke would not concur, and not due to the incompatibility of the soul with personal…
