SumFought:
The Silence
of the Lambs
by Thomas Harris

Immediately after reading Red Dragon by Thomas Harris, I was into the mist of another serial killer case told by Thomas Harris. The Silence of the Lambs, made even famous by the Hollywood thrilling blockbuster, remained a novel of impeccable quality. The novel centered around Clarice Starling, a still in-training FBI agent, who took on the call-of-duty assignment from Jack Crawford, in the search of a serial killer--"Buffalo Bill", who later abducted Senator Ruth Martin's daughter. Starling...

Graded Longings

Mother told son to avoid the traffic by taking the bus traveling on an alternate and longer route. Son obeyed and reached the bank he worked in time. But he was held back at work by an unorganized robbery crew, and eventually he didn't walk out alive, as he was the second hostage to be popped by one of the robber. He died believing that the man who killed him was the leader. His mother was outside the bank and witnessed the execution through the internal camera feeds. She fainted as her son dropped...

Live Another Day
Episode 5

Episode 5 cleared Jack's name, which have also taken him away from the front line until he was called by the president. I admire how they squeezed every minutes with tension and contents. The multiple viewpoints at different groups had a distinct profile, which separated them apart for the audience and minimized the confusion. The close-up takes are important and genuine, but the dialogue seemed dull and unstressed, except for the terrorist who was going to destroy London. Nonetheless, the ending...

The Listener
Season 5
Episode 1

The Listener is back for another summer ride, though the weather in the episode didn't quite catch up yet. But, surprise, Michelle has a baby (which skips about 10 months from the season four's finale). Which, to Toby, is a painful 10 months to beg Tia to move in with him. I imagine it would be an awkward conversation when Toby was convincing Tia without using his abilities. Though I don't think Toby could find a house for themselves by simple emotion reading. He must have used his ability...

SumFought:
Hannibal
Season 2 Finale
Episode 13
Mizumono

It's still a bit hard to take in. The fact that Hannibal is in a dream at the end. Just pure speculation. Maybe he went to see Dr. Maurier and killed her, while fantasizing going away with her, fancy style. At the end, I was right about two things. First, Alana Bloom get more air time than a few of the previous episodes combined, and her encounter with Dr. Lecter had lured out Abigail, who I assume was living in a dungeon somewhere Hannibal had prepared for her, and that Hannibal had been...

SumFought:
Orphan Black
Season 2
Episode 6

Tatiana Maslany continues to impress with her interpretation of her surviving characters, or clones. She has done a excellent job in every single episode, and she deserve something better than the current story. Tatiana succeeded in maintaining the diversity in all her clones, she is gorgeous, she is elegant, she is fancy, she is bitchy, she is manly, she is psycho. Since the opening of the season premier, Orphan Black have been caught in an inevitable mystery waiting to be solved--the five...

Black Sails
Season 1

You summer is about to get looted, but you won't even flinch about it. Black Sails, Starz's Original TV series, set twenty years prior to Robert Louis Stevenson's classic 'Treasure Island', is a short, eight-episode sensational adventure/drama mini-series, featuring Captain Flint and his pirates, which took place on New Providence Island and its surrounding sea. Unlike the disastrous start of another Starz Originals, "Da Vinci's Demons", which had some catastrophic post-productions issues...

The Golden Tree

The old man was lying against the golden tree. His hat, made by hay, was hanging over his face. He had a bottle of gin in his hand, but he dropped it and it rolled away with gravity. An army of ants were marching under the old man's crossed legs. He worn a pair of blue sandals covered in dust, and his legs were smooth as those pebble at the river bank. It was noon and the day was hot. The old man had just finished his lunch, which consisted of a freshly caught trout and a nick of moonshine. His...

SumFought: 24: Live Another Day Episode 4

24 is back. Jack is back. The same progressive 1 hour episode returns with a hot topic on its plate. Drones. And Jack, while doing what he's good at, have to fence off military intervention and cope with the CIA. More gun play and explosion, more blood and fear. Jack is going back to where he came from. It's just so confusing to see Jack trying to prove something, while not telling the truth at the first place. So he went round and around, going in circle, eventually the cat fight is over and...

Summer in Space

Brok was running. The girl had led him into the mystic forest again. It was a field occupied by giant dandelions and tall grass. It might as well as be a corn field without corn. A dandelion floret flew above him. Brok reached out for its rear end. He jumped and grabbed with his two hands. His hands were trembling when he looked down from the air. The girl was not far away, Brok swinged and kicked, trying to steer himself to the red dress. The air smelled a mixture of sweet and syrupy scent....

Game of Thrones Season 4 Episode 7 Mockingbird

[Warning: Strong Language] I have only one woman in my life. Your sister. Sure, Game of Thrones is a mess, an essential mess that combine every sorrow imaginable in the most desperate time. And today's episode is no exception. In the opening scene we have Tyrion Lannister at jail in pleasant clothes. The whole idea of trial by combat had now got up to his chin that he couldn't even speak up with Jaime Lannister. The alleged killer of king Joffrey, though, had some luck in finding a trial...

SumFought: Primal Fear

Aaron is played Roy, but who's playing Roy? Edward Norton of course. Martin Vail, the man at the peak of his career, decided that he would do what he wants instead of what he needs. He took the case when he first saw Aaron running away from the cops on live television. He knew it was the case he would be spending a lot of his times on. But little did he know, it was not the simple game of ping pong, nor the logical assumption and deduction. Amidst the whole trial, there were other events happening...

SumFought: Hannibal Season 2 Episode 12 Tome-wan

At the end of the last episode, we had reunited with our very own in house investigator Freddie Lounds, who was resurrected from a certain staged death, as a minor surprise and the material to fill in the crack of Will's weird behaviors in the last few episodes. But today's episode was even better, the brief appearance of Dr. Maurier in the interrogation room seemed to reveal the game Hannibal has been running. And that means, the end is near (Season Finale next week). I suspect Alana Bloom will...

Shrimp

Papa Joe owns a shop down the beach selling shrimp. And he has the best shrimp in town because he buys them from the returning ships everyday at the break of dawn. The shrimps are as fresh and lively as they can be. But sometimes, when there's bad weather, Papa Joe will close up shop and go home instead. He will be sitting on the chair either on the front yard or just under the cover of the house, while reading a newspaper with his large eyeglasses, which reflects light when he looks up. Sasha...

Puree

Mrs. S stirred her pot of tomato soup for one last time before turning off the stove, and giving her full attention to Alex, who was rumbling with his friend, Max, in the living room. "Mom!" Alex cried out once more on the couch before Mrs. S came around and stood in front of him with her arms crossed. "What is it, honey?" Mrs. S said reluctantly, her eyes were on Max, who was eating away the potato chips she had just brought in the day before. Max stuffed a few more into his already filled...

Train Track

He didn't think, not even twitch for a second. The girl was about to fall into the train track. He couldn't think, not even flinch for a moment. The girl was at the edge. He shouldn't think, not even blink for a change. The girl was falling. Jack entered the train with other morning workers. He struggled between briefcase to briefcase and finally stuck between a heavyset man and a well-fed elder. His bruised chest, pressing against his elbow while he held on to the railing, was aching badly. He...

The Man from Out of Town

Jacky was lifting a crate of mostly hay onto his pickup truck when he saw the man in a brown leather jacket. And Jacky knew at that moment that the man had came from somewhere else but the town. He didn't have to make sure by checking up close, he was sure. After closing up the back panel, Jacky stood leaning against the side of the truck, with arms on the railing, eyes on the stranger. The man quietly approached Jacky, and the man was not wearing shoes and had a straw in his mouth. Apparently...

Tour of the Storm

The only white cloud floated above the storm, uncontaminated, was trying to talk some senses into the storm. "Hail, storm. Dissect yeself and return to mother nature. Ye shall not destroy lands, nor flood rivers, nor collapse houses, nor harm lives." "Piss off, skinhead. Mind ya own business. My power is strong and ye is belittled. Run along now, before ya can. Ye cannot possibly stop me. Hell, I cannot even stop myself. It comes as an orgasm, and I don't want to loss the feeling of being in reign." "Alas!...

Hannibal Lecter M.D. in Red Dragon is a dangling accessory, he didn't posses the power as seen in NBC's "Hannibal", or did anything frightening creepy. He aided the cause of violence, yes he did. He manipulated those who admired him, yes he did. He laid a curious eye on Will Graham, yes he did. But after watching the re-imagined TV prequel, "Hannibal", I found the Hannibal in Red Dragon was hiding in a subtle corner, waiting as a predator, ready to strike. That's what scared me, I wondered...

Space Kissing

There was this woman, blond hair, cute face, really nice body. She came to the town about a month ago, and ever so often she would be sitting outside her house on a fancy fold chair with her sunglasses on. Nobody know who she was and where did she came from. Hell, nobody knew what she's called, until Little Johnny over there at the bar asked her frankly on her front porch. She invited him to into her house and got him some chilling homemade lemonade. My mama said when I've found a girl who can...

Tanik Fallen

Dropping down from the sky, Tanik took his time and smoothened his soft black hair before pulling the landing gear up to its mechanical limit. The escape pod began to tremble and groan, and the floorboard was starting to bend against gravity. The interior turned into a hot mess. Tanik held onto the chair with his sweating hands, preparing for the impact. The drop continued. Wind whirring and air burning, oxygen had ran out of the cabin through dozen invisible cracks, and left Tanik grabbing his...

Don't Take It Away

Do you remember the night When you hold my hand and placed that ring on my heart I can see it in your eyes I can read it in your mind what we have will never end And I know you would never take it back 'cause it's mine it's mine it's mine it's mine Now I show it to you what it means to me I hang it around my neck and display its glory I can see it in your eyes I can read it in your mind what we have will never cease And I know you would never take it back 'cause...

This is the voice that I'm speaking it possesses of my intelligence and my weakness I don't speak this everyday in real life so it's not the native, authentic voice that I'm looking for I'm the worst person to consult I'm the worst enemy to myself I can't escape from this already molded voice that had formed inside it talks to me as much as one could talk to themselves I crave for a new voice A voice of a storyteller A voice filled with ever-growing life and limitless...

Occasionally Google Doc.What I Worked on and Am Working OnLet's be honest. I'd not been writing that robustly. As much as I wanted to, I just didn't feel like it. I find it hard to put one words after another. The sentence was supposed to make sense, but I just couldn't give it life.

Hitting the Bullseye

By ten, the crowded bar down the street corner had another round of cheers that again broke the night's silence. Wolf, the recurring champion in the game of dart, was stretching his hands and bending his head in preparation for a new round. Undefeated for ten games, he was pushing for a personal record. Jerry gave him a pint of beer from behind and he had only took a sip before pouring it down on the one who had just lost the game to him. "Who's next?" said Wolf, collecting his money from the...
