When you look at me what do you first think? Be honest. If you've been alive on the Earth long enough you'd seen many depictions of creatures like myself: dark hair, crimson skin, two small-yet-significant protruding horns poking through our hairline. I'm a demon, have always been, and will always be from the moment the … Continue reading The Department of Unholy Deals (Or My Life as an Antinatalist Demon)

Little creepers moving at the speed of life twisted and dug their tiny tendrils into the red brick and mortar of the once solid wall, digging into the crevasses and forming a wedge … Continue reading Vines
Abinmo & David

Not to mention that … Continue reading Code Inspection
