I was trying to think of a story for the Darkness & Good blog the other day, because it’s my turn to post this week, and me and short story ideas are kind of hit and miss sometimes (AH HA HA ALL THE TIME HA HA SOMETIMES HA), and first of all, I ACTUALLY THOUGHT […]

There are good people in the world. There are strong people in the world. There are knowledgeable, informed, active people in this world, and they are doing good things.
