The NapCast

Welcome to the NapCave where we discuss how persons with any disabilities are the true real Superheroes in life. We celebrate our strengths, push barriers to better support our needs, so we can be the best we can despite our Disabilities. We are Disinvincible. I'm fighting stigma one ill stereotype at a time.

    DisInVincible

    When the Twin Towers came down, my life crashed all around. Two days after + 9/11/2001, I awoke in the middle of the night to an excruciating “BOOM” unlike any loud noise I’d ever heard before, I heard and saw shadows of my family and invading troops as I was unable to move. I felt the searing heat, panic of being unable to follow loved ones into a bomb shelter... I saw and felt tall flames and smell thick smoke in the air of my bedroom - I was absolutely terrified. This was World War 3 and I was about to die. I was unable to scream, but I heard the screams of those near to me crying out in horrific pain as they burned alive. Ken shook me saying “Wake up, it's OK.” He informed me there was no invasion in our bedroom. I was utterly perplexed and horrified as well as isolated and alone in my harrowing ordeal. This scenario replayed itself several times a night each night from this point onward.

    The Long Night vs The Nothing: From Westeros to Fantasia

    Game of Thrones and The Neverending Story “On his way to school, Bastian (Barret Oliver) ducks into a bookstore to avoid bullies. Sneaking away with a book called "The Neverending Story," Bastian begins reading it in the school attic. The novel is about Fantasia, a fantasy land threatened by "The Nothing," a darkness that destroys everything it touches. The kingdom needs the help of a human child to survive. When Bastian reads a description of himself in the book, he begins to wonder if Fantasia is real and needs him to survive.” Wikipedia, the Neverending Story
