Shadows of Deceit: Unraveling the Canvas of Crime
Part 1: The Gallery Heist Rain pelted against the city's pavement, a relentless downpour that seemed to wash the urban landscape clean of its sins. Detective Alex Reynolds stood beneath the awning of a coffee shop across the street from the Cordova Art Gallery. The neon glow of the city was subdued in the evening's mist, casting an eerie ambiance over the scene. His trench coat flapped lightly in the wind, and his eyes, sharp as flint, were fixed on the gallery's entrance.

What I Read: July (2023)
It’s rare that I am not reading anything. I am usually so wrapped up in a book, that I have to force myself to put it down to do literally anything else. I have always been like this, even as a child, teachers often had to tell me to put a book away and pay attention to class. I still, however, sometimes fall into reading slumps, where I pick up a book, and no matter how well it is written or how interesting the plot is, I can’t seem to fully immerse myself in the story and am almost constantly distracted.
