Psychic Seduction Mall
Let’s Go Shopping A couple of friends of mine and I decided to kill an afternoon at our local mall. Our plan was to do some window shopping see if anything looks interesting, buy some things, grab a bite to eat, have a couple of drinks and then see a movie. There were […]
Trigger Happy Alien Spirits
Secret Assassin There’s a pretty common idea that is in a lot of movies about government trained assassins. That you are a trained assassin, but you don’t remember this.
