I decided to try my hand at video editing again. I just took elements from both Sirius Dan's video and JulesKD's video and put them together. It doesn't flow as well as I would like, but I'm still learning and am trying to be more patient with the process, so don't judge too harshly.
Sorry for uploading it 5000 times. Thr original keeps going back and forth with the error message, so I guess I'll just leave this here. I don't know. I can't believe how much time I wasted trying to get this thing up here.

"My, what big ears you have," said Red Riding Hood, playing into the Wolf's facade until she could locate her grandmother's axe. She finally spotted it in the corner of the room and quickly grab... |

She stood there, shaking, as the doors of the church rattled and their horrible moans filled the air. She had seen the news. The world was coming apart bit by bit as the bloodthirsty hordes wer... |

I have a monster in my head. It usually comes out at night when I am trying to go to sleep. It fills me with endless thoughts and won't let me get the rest that I so desperately crave. It steals my...

The black sheep hated being different. He was always picked on and made fun of by the other sheep because he wasn't like them. Then one day, he realized that he didn't want to be like everyone e... |

After crying nonstop for days, Jen had finally had enough. She decided that she was going to have to deal with her problems. So she went to the doctor and had her tear ducts removed.

I tried to give you my heart, but you ran away screaming. Maybe I should have wiped the blood off first.

In fact, I am several tiny stories, all rolled into one. We all are. The universe may be made of tiny stories, but so are we. |

Stop. Just stop. Stop being who they want you to be. They'll tell you who they think you are and what you should be. Really, people love to do this. But that doesn't mean... |

Inspiration and creativity pour out of my head until I am left empty and alone, sitting in a puddle of my own potential. |

He shot himself in the head. Again. It is becoming a bit of a habit with him. This is the fifth time in a month that he has loaded up his gun, put the barrel to his head, and pulled the trigger.... |

She was wearing pink lacy underwear and a yellow bra. I was completely drawn to her. Being a gay man, I clearly wasn't interested in her in that way. There were more than enough half-na... |
