I'd really rather you not ask me questions like this! Well, are you asking who I am or "Who am I?", because the latter is a completely different question that forces one to look deep into the heart and mind. It is the question humankind has been asking since there was humankind.
Who I am, on the other hand, is just some guy who loves to read and tell stories. As I look back, I have always been a storyteller, from my first short stories to my first faltering attempts at playing Dungeon Master. As of the taking of this picture, I am forty something years old, and I still love TTRPGs (here you can find some free, fan-made content for Alien, my latest obsession), all sorts of fiction, heavy metal (note the Metallica t-shirt) and horror movies. In fact, this last will be readily apparent should you read my anthology Tendrils in the Dark. A lot of shout outs, homages and influences there...
In the end, I'm just a guy who loves to tell stories, read other persons' stories, and head bang in the car. I hope you'll join me on the journey!

So, I should have written this article years ago. It's been knocking around in my head since just after Prey came out, but I just never took the time to get it done.
In 2022, I read a brief article that said Prey worked hard to correct the toxic masculinity issues of the original film. It was three or four paragraphs long, and the primary focus was, of course, Amber Midthunder's character showing that women can be just as strong as men. It lauded praise on Naru for her determination,...
