The Whispering Shadows
In the heart of the forest stood an old, decrepit cabin, hidden away from the world. It had long been abandoned, its dark, rotting wood and shattered windows giving it an eerie, unsettling appearance. No one dared to venture near, for the locals knew the stories that circulated about the place. Whispers of the supernatural had plagued the cabin for generations, and it was shunned by all who had heard them.

Unspoken
Choking on words unspoken, they stood there in a staring contest. Not a childish one. No. One that only comes from having met a familiar stranger. The kind that makes you feel safe in the danger they bring to your life. You don’t remember who they are. Or rather, who they were. But you know their familiarity as soon as they’re near. Something all too clearly queer.

Silence of Time. Top Story - October 2023.
They say a dying man prays for solace. I only pray that I find him in time. Everything is crimson and out of focus. It’s like trying to see through a mud splattered windshield, with the wipers smearing dirt across the entire surface. Grasping onto a rail, the cold metal bites into my skin, I don’t feel the freezing burn, only an emptiness inside. Grabbing a handkerchief, I wipe blood from my face and my sight clears enough for me to get my bearings. I try to tune out the madness surrounding me and focus, I need to find my son.

Holy Water...
This story is inspired by the song Holy Water by Michael Ray. I do hope you enjoy. Well, this is one story that I do not plan on telling my grandkids one day but it is a story and so I'm gonna tell you then I'm gonna deny I ever said anything about it. I used to go to this small little church in my hometown in southern Mississippi. The pastor there, his name was Timothy, he was a real stand-up man. He took good care of his congregation and cared a lot about us and that church. He'd come to us with about 20 years experience pastoring, had just lost his wife and little girl in a car crash the year prior and so he'd taken a year off to get himself right.

Brothers In Arms
Franz Franz Anderson squatted with his back against a muddy wall of the trench assigned to him. Mud was the word of the day. The goopy stuff oozed over the top of his boots, stuck to his pants, coated his skin, and even infiltrated his food. When he ran for cover from incoming fire, it slowed his progress. If the officers ordered him “over the top," the mud transformed his charge into a slog. Just the rats that infested the trenches were unhindered by the mud. The only positive effect of having so much mud was that the British and French had to deal with it as well. When the phrase War is Hell was coined, what they really meant was War is Mud!

The Kretchens Dinner. Content Warning.
It was a gravely evening in the Kretchens household. Everyone sat around the table, the only sound being heard by the chatter from their silverware hitting the plate while digging into their hors d’oerve. Olivia, the youngest of the family, sat at the end of the table rather poignant, awaiting the next vocal outburst debate to start up once again. Patrick, the middle youth, held a harlequin mask over his face, hiding the dissatisfaction within him, knowing it would just cause more disappointment than there already was throughout the household. Karla, the eldest of the children, looked around the room cordially, hoping that the situation with her younger brother would help elude the possibility of her mother noticing the hickeys covering her collar bones and lower neck area. As for Mrs. Kretchen, the mother and superior of the household, she kept her eyes glaring at her middle child, with unending amounts of discontentment towards him running through her aging veins.
