The profound impact of intention
My thoughts on “The Power of Intention” by Wayne W. Dyer. I share my personal belief in a universal energy equated with intent, which has positively impacted my life, professional journey, and outlook on personal growth.

CUT
The Australian slasher from 2000 that die-hard genre fans will remember had Kylie Minogue in the Drew Barrymore role…. Much like Halloween before it, the success of SCREAM in 1996 caused a mini Slasher boom, not quite on the scale of the John Carpenter classic, but did cause a wave of imitations, all wanting a […]

The Cycle
For @makekyluxsuffer prompt 5: sacrifice/guilt/ “You were never meant to find out.”
Hux knew that being the spy for the resistance came with its risks. He knew that, more likely than not, one day he would be found out and killed.
He just hadn’t expected Kylo to realize, to be the one to discover him.
Kylo was holding the unconscious body of the scavenger in his arms, his mask covering any facial expressions he must have been making. On the other side of the hallway, Hux was leading the rebels to their ship, blaster gun in his hands.
“Rey!” the traitorous stormtrooper called out.
The Supreme Leader took one glance at the four of them- a discraced general, a Resistance fighter pilot, a defective stormtrooper, and a Wookie- and promptly turned into another hallway, stomping away from them.
While Hux was relieved Ren hadn’t called reinforcements (probably because he had actually gotten what he had wanted all along) and in turn cause all of their deaths, he couldn’t help the disappointment that settled in his heart, even as he continued to lead the Rebels to their ship, despite the protests of the man who was now calling himself “Finn”.
But this only served to further his belief that Ren had stopped caring about him altogether, tossing him aside and forgetting about him.
Hux was nothing but scum in the other man’s eyes, which was why he had sided with the Resistance in the first place.
This interaction should have only enforced his thinking and motivations- but instead, he couldn’t help the guilt he felt.
He had betrayed the First Order, and had betrayed Kylo Ren. He had betrayed his former lover. Of course he felt guilty, after all of that.
Why was he second guessing himself now? The Resistance pilot, that insufferable fool, was arguing that Hux should come with them.
Hux entertained the thought for a moment- finally escaping from Ren, and all of the memories they shared- but denied it.
Perhaps he was mad, but he would rather die knowing he had not fully betrayed Ren- at least, not in the way the other man had betrayed him. He would never love the enemy.
The cycle of guilt and hatred had ended up here, with Hux panting on the floor, blaster wound in his leg.
Just as he was about to get up, to march to his execution he knew he deserved, Ren was at his side, helping him up.
“You fool, what are you doing?”
“You were the spy,” Ren said, not answering his question.
“You were never meant to find out.”
“I let the scavenger go,” Ren said.
“You did what-”
“No one has to know. This has gone on long enough. I miss having someone actually competent at my side.”
Hux snorted at that, knowing Ren had probably been fuming having to work with Pryde of all people.
“I miss you,” Ren said softly.
Hux shifted in the other man’s hold, grasping onto his cloak.
“I’m right here, you fool. You have me.”
It was time for the cycle to right itself.
