The Court of Shadows... A gathering of relics and monsters who belong to the night.
"We play games older than languages. Politics dipped in poison, alliances sealed with teeth."
This high stakes game follows a business up to its neck in three generations' worth of trouble, including recently accepting over $1m of stolen merchandise, selling it under the table at locations across multiple states, and ultimately treating Sophia as if she were theirs to use as they saw fit.
The business has been offered a deal involving favors which might keep most of their 45,000 employees employed.
Calling all players...
I keep encountering people whose exact words later appear verbatim in films. Why?
Often filmmakers base scenes on real events..., or because the quoted material is in the public record.

I have a story. It will sound like bullshit.
Some years ago, I got in some trouble with some fellas. Violent trouble.
I tried to entice them closer to me by offering them some paper money.
They wouldn't come.
They told me to leave the money on the floor and back away from it.
I said, "Right!" And pulled something out I was legally entitled to carry at the time and the place I was in. They ran off.
Several years later, I watched the exact scene, almost word for word, and action for action, minus the sub machine gun lol, in a film called The Gentleman.
Make of my reply what you will. It sounds like bullshit even to me.
My friends think it's funny to this day.
On a website where you can keep to yourself - mostly - and just come to write a few blogs and still get shit off people? I'm stopped caring what anyone thinks of my tales.
Anyway, art imitating life.

I have a decent collection of vintage vinyl records. I would not call it epic or legendary, but it's definitely uncommon.
One part of the collection came in an old milk crate—roughly 25 records in near‑perfect condition for 10 bucks. That "chance" acquisition had a few rare gems. Gems I know the lyrics for & sing if the mood strikes a cord.
The last record I acquired was a really nice find. I picked it up primarily due to the artwork inside the jacket—artwork that can only be viewed if you open it up...

Enjoy your collection. It sounds like it brings you pleasure. I used to collect albums, then CDs, now I buy music off iTunes. I wonder where it will end. A microchip planted in the head with server access to Spotify, probably.
I collect dvd horror movies. So I know important those finds are
