Secrets
Secret Letter. Content Warning.
The yank came without warning—sudden, forceful, pulling me from the safety of my chair like invisible hands had decided my time of rest was over. My body lurched forward, the familiar world tilting sideways as I stumbled, caught off guard by the violence of the movement. Something had shifted, though I couldn't name what. The air felt different, charged with an electricity that made my skin prickle.

Secret Letter. Content Warning.

This is the story of the summer I couldn’t tell him.

The Lake at Twilight
You look out over the reflection of the sun, through the still waters of the lake, as the sun sets behind the gentle darkening mountains. The sky recedes from yellow to orange, to red, before hinting a shade of violet and blue. The clouds once gentle shades of off-white are now turning into darker shades of gray.

Running Into the Wind
The small town of Miranpur was famous for two things: its scorching summers and its annual charity marathon. Every year, hundreds of runners came from neighboring towns to race along the dusty roads, raising money for local schools.
