Love

Interlinked
Was it fate? Or was it coincidence? Life used to be slow, quiet, and peaceful. Each day I wake up, glance at the rays of sunlight from my room. Phone unchecked. Nothing in my mind but blankness.

The Ghost Next Door. AI-Generated.
The apartment was perfect. At least, that’s what Clara told herself as she signed the lease. It was spacious, with tall windows that let in streams of golden sunlight, and it was within her budget—a rare find in the city. The landlord had mentioned something about the previous tenant leaving abruptly, but Clara didn’t think much of it. People came and went all the time in New York. She didn’t ask questions.

The Weight of Adulthood. AI-Generated.

The Blind Date
Inspo: two bookworms get paired up on a blind date. I always loved the smell of books. The enriched knowledge within, crusted with age and weather, and yet still withholding its delirious secrets. Pages upon pages of words transcending the mere world we call reality. Meanings within symbolism so deep I couldn’t be able to reach the bottle with my toes.

Eternal Stairway
This is one of the sites where I train in the morning. It has an incredible atmosphere, and there's something magical about practicing my martial arts (Tai Chi, Qigong, Neigong, and some Karate) on the plateau at the top of the hill. Surprisingly, I rarely get interrupted by anyone.

Choose Your Own
It was an honest mistake. Michael Modlum, long-time bachelor and full-time Central Branch patron, had not paid attention to the buttons on the elevator when he stepped aboard the already opened space. And then it dropped. Usually, he would have walked up the single flight of stairs to the fiction section, found a chair in an area not too hot or bright with sunlight (difficult on that day), and tried to read whatever had been left behind on a table or shelf nearby. But it was a much more tiring day and he felt he deserved the elevator. He was heavy in the waist and did not have any habits that would have taken care of that problem. He deserved this.
