I Awake to a Gunshot | BlakeAndrew Awakening Teaser Featuring Reconnaissance

I awake to a pop and immediately think a gunshot in the not so far off distance. It’s pitch black and cold. Flakes of light snow flurry around me. I feel the dampness as they melt on my face yet cannot feel their cold. My fingers and hands sting trembling uncontrollably. I cannot feel them as I touch my face and arms. I raise my head and notice I lie between a wooden fence and a building that seems to create a tunnel to the outside world. I’m completely lost yet have a deep pit in my stomach that I’ve been here before. My vision is blurred and my eyes continuously go in and out of focus. I hardly make out distant shapes as white trails from snowflakes seem to hang indefinitely. My heart drops as a wave of panic consumes. I hear a faint siren in the distance.

I make it to my feet, light headed, leaning to the fence as the blood rushes through my body. I can feel the warmth of the blood travel from my face. My instinct is to run but I can hardly pick my feet out of the snow. My bones are lead as my legs move dragging my feet. My throat feels crushed and my mouth dry with an overwhelming metallic taste. The siren is growing closer.

I break my way into the opening of the tunnel flooded with lights from an overwhelming structure. The only thing familiar is a fresh, white blanket of snow. I turn to get away from the structure, the sirens, the gun. I can hardly hold my head trying to gain a footing on where I am, where I should be going. Footprints in the snow give me a sense of direction, a sense of hope. I follow the tracks using every ounce of strength to lift my head and make my way out. Suddenly I’m faced with two bright, perfectly round, entrancing circles beyond the wall. I can’t help but drag my body closer, desperate to escape into the unknown. I cannot evade these two bright eyes gleaming in the distance, coxing me closer into the darkness. The sirens are nearly here.

Those Lavender Whales

There’s a certain charm to this band, a care free yet dedicated act whose music reminds me of something out of a romantic coming of age tale, where the couple is running through the city trying to find one another. Tomahawk of Praise LP/CD January 17, 2012 on Fork & Spoon Records!

Conversations With Street Lights

Ryan Boos — Sat, 15 Oct 2011 11:30:43 +0000

This is the award winning short film from writer and director Jacob Boyd. Jacob is currently working on the music video for Nomadic Firs “Vines.” In Conversations With Street Lights, you’ll find an array of emotion which are all captured to show the brain reflecting and processing them. Boyd does an amazing job putting you in the characters positions. I couldn’t help but feel the tension, the love, and yearning the main character is going through. This is life, without the idealism or fiction.
