The Loneliness of Command

1st April 2011

The Loneliness of Command by Chris Thompson This image I call “The Loneliness of Command”. While in all the other series the main commander was always treated like a father figure, a grumpy old git with a softer side, Colonel White on the other hand was far more of a “superior”. Deliberately distancing himself from his team, either behind his desk or looking out into the observation desk. Oddly enough…

Original Prankster

1st April 2011

I wish I could say I didn’t know how it happened; that I was overpowered, raped, forced into what I’ve become. But the truth is, I was seduced by what I thought I wanted from a man I’d barely met and certainly did not know until I was no longer who and what I had been. I wish I could say I’m sorry it happened, that I regret what I’ve…
