The Quill and Obscura

I've never seen a movie that moved me as much as last night. In 2018 I remember when "A Star Is Born" remake came out with Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper. I didn't even want to watch it, I was sure it wasn't as good as the earlier ones.

I was wrong

That movie had it all. Beautiful music. Characters we can see our own faults in, realistically developed. Made me care for them. And then, a tragedy of epic proportions that left me in tears. It didn't have to happen, but it did. Devestating emotional impact.

The three songs from the movie Shallow, Always Remember Us This Way, and I'll Never Love Again. I knew the songs before, without knowing the story. After seeing the movie I'll never again be able to hear them without a tear in my eye.

Here's a playlist i was working on when I found out that Shallow was in the soundtrack of the movie. I hope you enjoy it

Hamster V***r began life inside the first QVerse novel, AiTEK Wars: Genesis. As the story grew, it became clear that this incident—the transporter test, the first recorded six-sigma events, and the formation of Hamster Team One—deserved its own tale. What you’re about to read is the account of...
