As far as I can remember, I always thought I would become a leader that would make history. Years later, I was the CEO of one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world. But I lost it all.Embezzlement, crime against humanity and sexual harassment were the main accusations, but there was many others that might resurface. Despite all my efforts to cover everything up, I ended up being ratted out. I was a walking dead man facing multiple years in prison, unless…A new kid in townThere was only one solution that would keep me from going...

The cell was cold, reeking of piss and desperation. How the hell did I end up in jail? Me, a promising future beauty queen! It was all because of Ellen Stanton, or The Crooked Queen, as they dubbed her in the news. I was laying down on my bunk bed mentally cursing Ellen when I heard a buzzing sound. The door opened, and there it was, the most intimidating person I’ve ever seen. It looked like the result of a cross breed experiment between a mammoth and a human. The shit-shaped human looked at me, grinning creepily:-Bow down to your new cellm...

St-Roch neighborhood has always been known for being Canada’s capital of strange people and events, but for five weeks in 1952, it was full-blown collective hysteria. Our neighborhood had the highest number of convicted felons by square foot across all the Americas. It was not uncommon to witness a grown-up man snatch an ice cream cone from a kid in broad daylight, or to catch a kid stealing your copper pipes at night, but what happened that summer was entirely different. It was a psychological attack that touched mostly ...

- The betrayal that wasn’t really one -I was at my mom’s house when my phone died.

The goal of the show is to ‘find love’, which gets each couple a house, a car, and for some reas...

It’s been 8 years since I’ve seen my family from my mom’s side. The trailer trash side. I managed to escape 8 Thanksgivings with audacity and luck but this year they got me by guilt. Grandpa Rolly was on his last mile, and he wanted to witness one last shitshow before he kicked the bucket for good.They all lived in the same trailer park area and everyday with them there’s some sort of hard to believe fuckery happening. I’m not saying I’m better than them, I’m just saying that each and every one of them is missing a couple of bolts in their o...

Have you ever thought about what it would be like if you saw your true self? Believe it or not, I actually lived it. It all started with Gerry, a homeless guy that talked to me about metaphysics one time. I just gave him a beer and he gave me the key to my deepest, truest self.To put it simply, Gerry was an adept of metaphysics, a branch of philosophy that explores the very first principle of things. Think something like ancient knowledge. The core principle of any given thing. Apparently, all of us humans already know the explanation for ab...
Everybody wants to be somebody. Cecilia Sterling was definitely someone special. As we could say, she made it. She was a thirty-something actress famous for her roles in a lot of romantic comedies from the 90’s. She was the golden teen back then, and one of the most popular Hollywood socialite now. Everyone wanted, and still wants, to be her. If the word cool could be personified, it would be Cecilia. Her trademark sideswept long wavy blonde hair, her heart-shaped little mouth and cartoon-like round blue eyes made her a timeless beauty. She ...
