“Always buy a new pen when you start a new job, Martin.” His mother’s voice was lingering in his thoughts as he walked down the street. He had been very lucky that Hally’s Stationers was still open at that time. Weekends had them closing earlier than usual and he almost forgot this as he stepped inside and heard the bell ring just behind him.

Spider Mother. Content Warning.
It was a hike that we would never forget, though we wished we could. My girlfriend and I were hiking in a familiar spot, just like we had done a thousand times before. This hike was going to be different, though. We would hike three miles in and camp for the night, wake up at five am, hike up to Helens Overlook, about ten minutes from our camping spot, where we would watch the sunrise. While she watched, I would take a knee and pull out a ring I had bought weeks ago, asking her to marry me.

True Reflection
I shuffled through the apartment, flicking lights off as I went along. The darker the place got, the lower my gaze strayed until I stared at the floor as I walked through the apartment. I was entirely cloaked in darkness when I reached my bedroom door. My surroundings began to press in on me as my nyctophobia took hold.
