Lila's Journey From Victim to Badass

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre was released in 1974 and claimed to be based on a true story. The movie quickly cemented itself as a classic. Which meant, of course, a barrage of sequels and prequels followed. The latest film, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, was released on Netflix this year.

There are some problems with this film such as how easily Sally Hardesty died. There were also some things the film did well such as Lila. The character is one of the few given a backstory and has a very satisfying character arc. It is Lila that I want to focus on today.

Eighteen-year-old Becky and her best friend, Meghan, can’t wait to join the army and start their basic training in September. Becky especially yearns to leave her rundown neighbourhood in Langley, British Columbia, as it will soon become flooded by rising sea levels. But when they head to Reunion Square to meet their friends, Connor and Robert, disaster strikes and their lives are changed forever.

A massive earthquake ignites widespread panic. Becky and Connor are separated from Meghan and Robert. Forced to leave the area, Becky and Connor find her brother, Tommy, and they make their way back to the siblings’ home in hopes that Meghan and Robert are going there too. But as they wait for their friends, Langley goes up in flames and the trio must flee by car.

With nowhere else to go, they decide to head to Winnipeg, Manitoba, where Becky’s parents are staying. En route, they learn that a deadly new virus, with horrific symptoms, is tearing through British Columbia. They will have to make it to Manitoba before the borders close. Meanwhile, Tommy suffers severe drug withdrawal and shares a devastating confession with Becky. Tension rises as fear grips the country and more disasters impede their way. Will Becky and her companions be able to survive?

Lynesse Chapter 20: The Breaking

This is a Game of Thrones fic. All rights belong to the copyright holders.

This chapter has been edited due to content. If you want to see the unedited version GO HERE.

The Exodus

Paid Promotion
Two-time award winning book in the classes of E-book from NGIBA and Science Fiction from IAN

A girl who feels nothing; a boy who sees shadows and hears what others cannot; a baby without license to be born; a deaf teenager and scientific savant; offensive people; a general who passed law to hunt, imprison and kill them all. Where do they hide when the sub-nations of the United States draw their own lines in the ground that dictate which people get to be oppressed and who gets to be offended?

The Salvo Cartel built the tunnels to help them escape, to aid those with mental ailments, those who question, those who refuse to conform, gays, Christians, artists, people with scruples, and other deviants. Do they flee to Salvo's underground cities, with eyes set on a grander safeplace? Where do they go when Lady Liberty douses her light? Perhaps the same place she's been pointing her torch towards ever since she stepped atop her pedestal and realized at once that one day she too would be told to shut up.

The Deadly Side of Death

Paid Promotion
Death.

Everyone's familiar with it in some form or another.

However, are they all familiar with the man behind the mask? Or rather, the woman?

When Death suddenly runs across a major problem she can't solve, she teams up with an angel to figure it out. A soul has appeared that she can't find out where it came from or when it was killed. The burning question, though...is this person doing the killing really the person in charge? Or is there another power behind the throne?
