She stares up at her ceiling with long cracks along the outer edges, painting a wrinkled picture where they converge. She should probably get it fixed up. But this is how an apartment should be, she thinks. There's something comforting about it all. This [...]

A Quick Word from the Author: Firstly, apoplogies for the absence of the Sabbath this past Thursday. I've been at a Family Reunion and my Brother's graduation, so I was staying as far away from work as possible -- and on that note, congrats to all the high school grads reading this.

As I mentioned last week, EARMILK is currently in the gradual and delicate process of refining our features, aiming to [...]

It's relentless, it's addicting, but it's pastime. Consequence of Sound looks forward to [...]
