Short Story
The Gravel Road. Content Warning.
~~~~~ Gravel crunches under my feet as the night sky opens above my head and stars wink in and out of existance. Crickets chirp and coyotes howl across the lake. The dark water ripples and frogs call to each other with echoing voices in the dark. Gravel crunches under my feet as the full moon sinks behind the trees and the sun rises over the world. Gravel crunches under my feet as curtians of willow branches are revealed in the light, waving in the gentle breeze. A bright blue sky emerges from the burnt orange sunrise and endless birds cry from their nests, hearlding the dawn into existance. Gravel crunches under my feet, as it has every night for the last week. An endless gravel pathway through an endless summer’s dream. The crunch of gravel fades under my feet as I awake in my bed once again, never reaching my destination.

The Man Who Sold Tomorrows. AI-Generated.
1. The Stall That Appeared After Sunset Every Wednesday, just as the sun dipped below the skyline, a strange little stall would appear at the corner of 7th and Alden Street. It was never there during the day, never present on weekends, and never acknowledged by city maps. But by 6:03 PM, like clockwork, the setup appeared—draped in navy velvet, softly glowing under a single flickering lantern.

Time Of Death
“Beep,” I heard, randomly. I opened my eyes and sat up in my bed. The noise startled me as I looked to see what it came from. Across my room, near the window, was my alarm clock. It was the only bit of light that was shining in the room and was the only thing that could’ve made that noise. I stared at it for a second or two, seeing it blink 12 am every second, in that ominous red glow.
