A short poem about perception, poverty, and the moment life turns upside down. Every morning, the performance begins. A street corner becomes a stage. Cardboard signs become scripts. Tin buckets fill with coins and folded bills as passersby glance away. Under the faded lights of a traveling carnival, two performers sit quietly - a guitar player and a painted clown - collecting sympathy from the crowd. Their sign reads: "Visions of Cheeseburgers." To most people, it's just another scene of poverty. Just another group of strangers asking for change. But what happens when the distance between observer and performer disappears? What happens when the coin flips... And you wake up on the other side of the sidewalk? A Turn of Event is a haunting short poem about poverty, perception, and the fragile line between spectator and survivor. Sometimes the show isn't entertainment. Sometimes it's a warning.

A social commentary told in stories and accented by music. Music that I made with Incredibox because I love that app so much.

Journey with a broke wanderer through the glamorous facade of Palm Springs, where the desert sun bakes both millionaire snowbirds and desperate locals alike. After an awkward encounter with a judgmental tourist named George who rails against California's "riff-raff," our narrator finds himself trapped in a hellish Starbucks line as temperatures soar and tempers flare. While wealthy tourists screech about the heat and sneer at street vendors, our guide peels back the glossy veneer of this "Playground of the Stars" to reveal the complicated reality beneath. As night falls and Palm Springs transforms into a glittering desert oasis, a chance encounter with a young local exposes the town's painful contradictions. In a place where vacation homes sit empty half the year and working people can't afford rent, what happens to a town that's become a monument to a vanished American past? With sharp wit and keen observation, this travelogue asks whether Palm Springs' nostalgic golden glow is slowly dimming as it clings to the ghosts of Bob Hope, Frank Sinatra, and an America that no longer exists. After all, when you're broke in Paradise, there's always the desert.

The Unity Program? It's, well, supposed to be this ground initiative by The Order, handpicking 'promising' individuals from each sector. They say it's for unity, preparing us to bridge the divides between our sectors, to work together for the 'greater good'. But really, it's shrouded in secrecy. Nobody truly knows why they're chosen or what they're in for. Some say it's just a propaganda exercise. Others think it's a death sentence with fancy branding. Rumor has it they're sending these recruits out beyond the megacities, to do what exactly... no one's sure. But if you ask me, it's less about unity and more about survival. The Order's survival, not ours. ~ an anonymous citizen ~~~ In a world where humanity clings to survival within towering megacities, divided into sectors that dictate every aspect of life, The Order has initiated a mysterious new project: the Unity Program. Sold as a chance to bridge the sectors, the Program promises to shape a generation of leaders prepared to take on the future's most daunting challenges. But for a group of outcasts and criminals chosen from the lowest levels of society, this invitation is anything but an honor. Their true mission lies beyond the safety of the cities, in a barren and hostile wasteland, where the air is toxic and secrets are deadly. Tasked with salvaging lost technology and facing unknown dangers, the recruits must rely on each other's strengths-or fall prey to their weaknesses. They're about to learn that The Order's promise of unity is little more than a mask for its survival plan. In this world, some lines should never be crossed... but for the Unity Program, every boundary is fair game. ~ The 100 meets Divergent ~ ***Updated: Monday & Saturday

Humanity, teetering on the brink of nuclear self-destruction, was saved by an alien species, the Peacock-kind. But their aid was not merely an act of mercy.
