"Not again. Not again. Not again. The thought circled like a prayer, as if denial was enough to move the world."

Past trauma makes for bad decisions. Especially when monsters are involved. See how bad things can go when guilt and revenge are in control in RED WALLS.

I made it to #31DaysofHorror Bingo BLACKOUT! 25 movies in 25 days, and a tombstone for each one.

But the game is not over! It's #31DaysofHorror, so there are still 6 days of watching to get to your blackout.

Keep going! Keep posting and tagging me!

The bob is back! Hair regrowth has been a surreal experience. Abject paranoia, relief, excitement all packed up on one emotional torture rollercoaster. Pharmaceuticals and yoga and dumb hope. My collection of hats (and tattoo) aren't going anywhere... just in case.
