Splintered HopeTop Story - January 2024
“You’re hopeless! Nothing anyone does is good enough for you. Don’t you see how you’re destroying this family?” Glass flew by my head and in the moment between shatter, I could almost see through to a better outcome. But gravity didn’t leave me enough time to consider hope before glass made contact with the wall in an explosive production.

Choosing Yourself For The New Year

In the Market for More (or Less)
Every synapse in me stretched outwards hoping to catch her. But it was hopeless. Too many scents and sounds crowded my ability to find her, her braided hair becoming another pattern in the fabrics along the stalls. I could barely hear the sizzling and shouts of the vendors above my pounding heart, yet I could not seem to persuade my feet to move forward. I was frozen in a space that never stopped moving.

Move Over Holly, Hanukkah is HereTop Story - December 2023
Oh look, it's December! That means it's Chris-HANUKKAH season! That's right, it's time for the Festival of Lights and lots of jelly doughnuts. We'll light some candles, sing some songs, and fill our bellies with fried food. Do you know why?

A Jolly Holly Half Dead Holiday
Zomboi had been feeling the pressures to conform for much too long out in the big city. Everyone was always rushing somewhere, aggressively ignoring his limp and slow swagger. It wasn’t Zomboi’s fault that his limbs were barely held together, but he still tried to keep up.
