With Marvel moving the release of Avengers: Infinity War up a week to April 27th, the usually stacked May movie list is left a bit bare. Most years, May is the time for huge blockbusters to duke it out for box office dollars. There are still two sure-fire hits coming along, but Thanos started the…

Chapter 12 “Desperation” No matter how hard I try to focus on anything, all my mind can settle on is that alluring spark that burned in Rey’s eyes when I saw her last. The light that flickered into life when we watched each other reach for the other’s hand. A beautiful beacon calling me…
