Something strange has happened. My dreams, they have always been an anomaly to me, and to those around me. For as long as I can remember they have been filled with mass murderers, giant spiders, evil guinea pigs, mysterious women living under my bed, and an assortment of other terrifying subjects. I do have pleasant…
I am excited to post a guest entry today by a man who has been both a door to door salesman, and worked in the future weapons department at the Pentagon. He has sold shoes for JC Penny, and navigated drug busts by aircraft in foreign countries. He has a pet chihuahua named “Teddy”, and…
My sleep walking and night terrors generally involve screaming about spiders, home intruders, or the mystery woman who lives under the bed.

Two nights ago I sleep walked into Isaac’s room. He was in bed working on homework and had papers sprawled out everywhere. Isaac says he could tell I was sleepwalking because I was in my glassy eyed zombie hunchback position. I clutched my stomach and said to him “I’m in pain and I’m scared.” Before…
Hello my name is Courtney and I am addicted to crime television shows. Dexter, Law and Order SVU, Criminal Minds, Prison Break, Numbers, Flashpoint, you name it. If it has serial killers, blood, guns, a sexy detective, and a witty female cop who is way too good looking to be a cop, I’m in. I…
