TALES FROM DARKSIDE -THE LOVERS by Mark Antony Raines
Man lives in the sunlit world of what he believes to be reality.
But...there is, unseen by most, an underworld, a place that is just as real, but not as brightly lit...a dark side.
Preston likes looking at the large gargoyle made from stone as it keeps him company whilst he is beavering away in his studio creating his latest piece of art:he does like being a struggling artist as other dies not pay the rent or feed him as he often lives on just bread and soup.
Later that day Preston meets up with the art gallery owner to see how his works of art are being received by the public but is informed by the owner his art is unpopular and not selling.
This depressed Preston whom cordially reacted in his usual manner by getting inebriated so he staggers on his way home as the bar was in throws him out afterhe ran out of money.
During his way home Preston gets the call of nature and relieve s himself in a back alley; suddenly he hears a loud noise as he looks towards the sound he is becomes terrified when he sees a gargoyle monster brutally decapitate a mans head from his body.
Terrified, he tries running away, but the creature flys towards him and corners him. The gargoyle spares Preston's life as he grabs him by the throat makes him swear never to reveal what he saw or describe its appearance to anyone.
At this point the gargoyle rips open Preston's shirt to reveal his shirt then scratches and small cross and in a female voice says
"Cross your heart or hope to die"
Preston is traumatized and confused, but bound by his oath, can say nothing about what happened,as he doubt s anyone would believe him as he even question his sanity.
As he runs away out of his flight or fight early man defence kicks in he sees a woman named Carola who claims to be lost whilst being out with her friends on The town.
Preston convinces her to call a taxi from his apartment. While there, Carola cleans the gargoyle-inflicted wound on Preston's chest, then they make love.
After some time together,Preston and Carola decide to go flat share and spend time as a couple this leads to Prestons life improving due to Carola's connections. They eventually marry and have two children.
Ten years later Preston starts to have tormented nightmares of memories of the night he encountered the gargoyle.
And although he promised never to speak of the dreadful night he breaks down to reveal all to Carola who immediately appears uncomfortable And emits a heartbroken wail revealing herself to be the gargoyle screaming at Preston he promised never to tell anyone.
With Preston's vow broken, Carola can no longer remain human and begins transforming back into a gargoyle. Their children, now awake, are terrified as Carola writhes in pain as hideous-looking arms and legs burst from beneath her human flesh. A terrified Preston pleads for Carola to change back, but she cannot assume a human form again. Their children are screaming in their bedroom as they also transform into gargoyles.[5] Carola, now fully transformed back into a gargoyle, wraps her wings around Preston and the couple proclaim their love for each other, but with the vow broken, Carola is still reluctantly forced to kill him by biting his neck, before remorsefully flying away with her gargoyle children. The final scene shows the three gargoyles now turned to stone and sitting upon the building ledge, staring down at the city with sorrowful expressions.
The dark side is always there, waiting for us to enter — waiting to enter us. Until next time, try to enjoy the daylight.

For the People: A Citizen's Manifesto to Shaping Our Nation's Future
How the Constitution Can Guide America Back to True Greatness
America has become a country lacking in both physical and psychological security—and this insecurity is a clear and present danger to world peace and stability. This must-read, political call to action is for anyone dissatisfied with our dysfunctional government and seeking real change. Author Simon Chadwick argues that the true American dream is realizing self-actualization (The Pursuit of Happiness), the pinnacle of psychologist Abraham Maslow’s famous Hierarchy of Needs. Chadwick sets out in simple and straightforward terms how we can save US democracy by fulfilling every citizen’s innate needs, including the top echelon of achieving his or her creative potential. In order to generate greater overall contentment for its citizens, Chadwick proposes that a country must establish a democratic libertarian government, a form that is much closer to the general intent of the Constitution, which gives every person the right to live in peace, without fear, under its protection.
By dissecting current events and framing them in Maslow’s hierarchy, Chadwick offers fascinating historical and cultural context, and clear, positive advice for how our country, culture, and government can move toward democratic libertarianism, self-actualization, and ultimate satisfaction.

Amazon Book LINK -https://www.amazon.com/Connect-You-Guide-Your-Authentic/dp/1733282955/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1F382AVBC5URC&dchild=1&keywords=connect+you+a+guide+to+your+authentic+life+elizabeth+a.+miles&qid=1609183871&sprefix=Connect+You:+A+guide+to+your+authentic+life+elizab,digital-text,154&sr=8-1It is difficult to get what you want in life when you are living by someone else's standards, definitions, and assumptions. Living from that space doesn't feel so good. I know. I lived there for far too long myself. For the longest time, I was searching for the things that would make life better - any tool or resource that promised to bring success, happiness, better health, more money, etc. When "it" never showed up, I realized: my own life was (and sometimes still is) a shit show - messy and complicated. While I was walking around looking for "the answer" from somewhere...anywhere...out in the world, the truth always was - I had everything I needed inside of me already. The resources and answers were always available to me. I just needed a way to connect to them.
While I wanted an easy and effortless way to get where I wanted to go...something that was quick and painless, the real, dirty, little secret is - that's not the way life works - especially when you are trying to live by someone else's standards and assumptions.
If you are anything like me, you don't often give yourself time or space to sit down and be honest with what you really want and what feels good (or bad) for you. That's exactly why we are here right now.
We start with an awareness, and honesty, for where you are right now. From there, we will take a look at mindset, attitudes, and beliefs that hold us back, connecting them with how how we are actually spending our time and energy. This helps us make adjustments and set boundaries that move us in the direction of our goals, in alignment with the people and places and things that we truly value.
Learn to set empowered goals from a new place, one that supports the fun and flow that you want to see in your life. After all, your life matters! You deserve to live it in a way that feels authentically like you!
This book is a guide, a road map, to help you put the pieces together for yourself, in a way that honors your own definitions of success, and in a way that motivates you to live the life that you truly want to live.
You have the answers inside of you already. Use this workbook as a guide to piece together what makes you authentic and amazing, and tap into the power and possibility that exists within.
Are you ready? Let's get started.
This book is written in journal format, allowing you to work through sections at your own pace. You'll find content, activities, questions to help you think about where you are now in life, where you want to go, and the steps you need to take to get there. It starts by finding yourself, understanding the parts of you that make you truly YOU, with your own definitions of success.
