Robert wasn’t sure which grated on his nerves worse, the whining from the hound, or the camera flashes that exploded at random. He gritted his teeth at the thought of his sleepy town becoming a circus. Still, it was better for him to hand over jurisdiction without protest, and he knew it. It was the only chance Hamilton had of returning to some…

Celes froze up upon hearing her real name being called out to her by Monokuma, herself…

I have always wondered why only seven structures made it in the list of Wonders of the World. Well, since it was the ancient Greeks such as Antipater of Sidon, Diodoros, and Herodotus, who wrote the list 2,500 years ago it was primarily based on what they know that, existed during their time. Mind you, this list is extraordinary. But if the Greeks only knew that there are other spectacular structures existing outside their neighboring cities and other regions, it is most definite that there will…

Life is an imperfect circle. There is a starting point and an end point in every area of one’s life. This perpetual truth is not simple enough to be deduced down to good or bad. Every imperfect circle is a cycle, and every cycle is different; whether it be at a personal, relationship, or historical level. Inevitably, every cycle continues until broken by the one(s) it directly affects. Although outside forces might attempt to interrupt those cycles, the only one who possesses the power to to…
