Mystery
The Rising of the Milkfill Magic 1
At the edge of Milkfall Village stood a modest little house where the Chocolate Family lived. No one knew much about their past, and no one ever spoke about the father who had disappeared long ago. All that was certain was that Mama Halima, gentle yet strong, had raised her three sons with love and hope.

The Executioner of Cobonar XI
You asked if I ever spoke with Adam Strunkow. I did once. Here, at this bar. I was sitting in this very seat. He just walked up to me and asked ‘Do you want to know why?’ and I said ‘Tell me everything.’ It’s not every day you get to hear the galaxy’s most famous vigilante confess. Adam was untouchable. The ever-righteous warrior. The Cobonarian Executioner, as the media nicknamed him.

Unchained. Honorable Mention in The Forgotten Room Challenge. Top Story - November 2025.
It was time. For thirty years, the events of the past and the room where they took place hung over my head like the dreaded pendulum in Poe’s classic tale, The Pit and the Pendulum. I always thought that the further away I got from the evil room, both in distance and time, the horrifying events which happened there would fade away into oblivion. My choices were I could continue lying to myself the way I had been for most of my adult life, or I could take a stand and repair my broken life forever. I was being ridiculous. There was only one choice: face my fears and move ahead with my life.

Sleeping comes whenever the hell it wants, but it eventually skews me back toward the night shift with everyone else here, so far. It’s those brief moments of sunlight in the late evening when I've caught a rare dose of nap. This night ended at the bar on the stool. I never thought it would be this comfortable all those times I was prevented from indulging in the act by the sheer ridiculousness of the look as it was the movie staple of the down trotted fuck-up. The Voice, it—I am literally dying for this shit, so excuse the fucking bias I may share as I bring this up, but to keep with my journaling immersion technique from Wolfman Patrick, i have to be cautious aboout said—context.

The Train That Arrived 10 Years Late
I was the only person on the platform when it arrived. Midnight at Bramwell Station was never lively, but that night the silence felt unnatural—heavy, like the air was holding its breath. The timetable board blinked its usual digital emptiness, showing only the morning departures. No trains were scheduled. No tracks were lit. And yet—
