Short Story
Terminal Velocity. Content Warning.
Sixty seconds. Twelve seconds folded over five times. She could make origami out of the time if she pulled her legs to her chest and cinched them with her arms but this wasn't about beating the clock. It was about perspective. It was about tasting the flavor of something irreversible.

Legends abound about me, passed down through the centuries. Some say I come for your soul to eat; others say I come for your children and leave changelings in their places.

Moon of the amber eyes. Content Warning.
I sat at my house late one night. It was cold on the outside with no stars to be seen, but you couldn't see any stars in the city. I am in the city of Angels, aka Los Angeles, where all your hippy dreams come true, but right now, in my apartment here, I am drinking wine. I love the dry taste like someone has mixed honey and rose in this sweet toxic pleasure. Making it beat through my body, giving kisses to my soul while creasing my skin. I was wearing a lovely gown that soon would come off when I went to sleep at night. Though, I could not shake the feeling that someone was watching me that night. My windows were closed, and everything was secure. Luckily, I did feel kinda at ease with my pitbull around. She was the sweetest thing, but if something came to harm me, she would attack like they were her favorite snack. I rub the cute dog's head one more time and say, "Maria, go to bed." Maria knew that was her cue to walk off to her own chair in the house.

The Abominable No-Meatman. Top Story - April 2024.
So, I had an idea. I was wondering if Pennywise the dancing clown went vegan because he wanted to befriend humanity, what would he eat? Would there be food options for him, or would he have to starve just to be put in a better light with us humans. So I’ve created a special restaurant and menu just for him. This way, if Pennywise were to become vegan, he wouldn’t have to get creative with his dietary choices, I’ve done it for him. I’ve taken the work out of going vegan on his behalf! Here is a special restaurant and menu I made just for our friend, Pennywise!

Saving JoJo. Content Warning.
On my balcony, under an umbrella, my toes were getting a touch of sun as I finished the chapter in the novel I was reading. Swapping the book for iced tea, I wiped the bottom of the glass on the beach towel I was sitting on so the cold droplets would not sweat icy drips on my bare legs. It was almost time for Danny to pick me up for dinner.

It was in this house that 8-year-old Eliza lived with her grandmother, a kind but strict woman known in the town for her herbal remedies and the haunting tales she would tell about the woods that crept eerily close to their home.
