Stacks of History
You whisper in my ear about the rumours. It’s no surprise you’ve heard them “Some of the kids have sex in the stacks.” You glance over at me, a devilish smirk on a perfect face I suppose it’s no coincidence you tell me this when we’re searching for history books Your tongue darts out to…

MUSA Did What #4: Sem 1 BEGONE!
Very much like Steven Grant in Moon Knight, I feel as if reaching Week 12 has been a definite out of body experience that has left me with more questions than answers (How did I get here?? When did I get here?? Why do I have 25 unread emails from lecturers??) Fortunately, as the final…
Favorite Crime: My favorite liar
I remember being the age when I could barely reach up to push the ninth-floor button of the elevator to my apartment, and only if I tip-toed and stretched my arm to the fullest. I remember that just around this age, I lied to my mother. I don’t quite recall what the lie was about…
Favorite Crime: 5 Stages of Grief
They say there are five stages of grief. Stage 1: Denial I’m okay. No, I’m not I don’t miss you. I miss you so much that the mere mention of your name renders me powerless Why did it have to be you? I don’t know. There are so many things that, deep in my heart…
Favorite Crime: It’ll Be Okay
A short story inspired heavily by Shawn Mendes’s It’ll Be Okay. Are we gonna make it? The thought ran wildly through my mind. A slow decay, that’s the reality of us. Yes, life happens and it occasionally gets in the way. But I sensed it began with fewer texts, fewer calls, less of everything that…
Mother, Am I Woman Now?
Mother, I wore that dress you bought, it’s pink, with frills around the bottom. You did my hair up in that ponytail and made me wear some lipstick. You told me girls are supposed to look pretty all the time. I’m five, but I hope I’m more of a girl now. Mother, it’s hard for…

Butterfly Effect: Phantom Limb
“You don’t want a sibling. They’re tedious, annoy the shit out of you and honestly if they’re younger than you, you might just end up taking care of them instead of your parents.” A lot of people have told me how fortunate I am, having been born the only child, allowing myself to be the…
Butterfly Effect: The Road Taken Looks Real Good Now
I love the idea of filmmaking and storytelling. Always have, and probably always will. I love the way ideas, visions, dreams, come to life on the screen. The nuances in how emotion, setting, and ambience is portrayed in film. It’s something I could talk about for hours. And so naturally, when it came time for…
