A NOTE FROM THE EDITOR

What happens when you are one of the few people who can see the world for what it truly is? Living in a place where you have Watch where you place your trust because even your teeth bite your tongue every now and then. I want out. Once hitting the final stages rock bottom, the nightmares began to occur. Never being able make them out or understanding why this is happening to me. I was lost. Being shunned by the same society that promotes unity and togetherness was in fact my new reality and The more i slipped into depression the worse the dreams became. Slowly, Sleeping became more and more of a regret than an indulgence; i grew tired of hiding and started to face these entities head on, inducing lucid dreams. The more vivid the nightmares became the more my attention grew. I needed more...Welcome to the life of an outcast.

Pariah“There is something inherently valuable about being a misfit. It’s not to say that every person who has artistic talent was a social outcast, but there is definitely a value for identifying yourself differently and being proud that you are different.” —Daniel Radcliffe

INDUCE“A rat race is for rats. We’re not rats. We’re human beings. Reject the insidious pressures in society that would blunt your critical faculties to all that is happening around you, that would caution silence in the face of injustice lest you jeopardise your chances of promotion and self-advancement.” —Jimmy Reid

Somehow we feel we aren’t in control of ourselves and that some-one is controlling us like puppets, this is why there are strings attached to the

skull. The reasoning behind the skull of an animal is because you can control animals but you cannot control not humans.
