Vacillating No More… Or Will I?. Top Story - May 2025.
Dear Brain (or whatever may be in my head), We both know what this is about. Ever since I was an ugly little thing which passed off as a human child or possibly Cthulhu’s long-lost cousin, I've always had difficulty in making choices. I can't make the quick decisions like everyone else; you know, like normal people can. It’s a battle to decide on one thing or the other, be it something inconsequential or something serious with disastrous outcomes.

I will use my voice . Top Story - May 2025.
To My Fear of Speaking Up, I’m done. There’s no official notice, no warning, and definitely no two-week grace period. You don’t deserve one. You’ve been running my life for too long, and I’m finally ready to walk away.

Submitted, Objectively. Top Story - May 2025.
To those who’ve known and never heard of such ideas, “It’s a cult,” they yammer. Like blood spilling from their frothy lips, they speak of sacrifice and dying and suffering. They, however, never speak of joy, life, and excellence to be found on this Earth. They, still, call it a cult. The irony is overwhelming, their system of fate relates to tribalistic leanings and following mystical patterns that would herd all heads under a single yoke. After, they would be plucked one by one with the simplest assertion that their faith cannot be tested. One thing is to believe in something. Another is to say it’s real. If you believe in something, you don’t have to say it's real because it already exists.

My Spidey Sense. Top Story - May 2025.
Some places just put a person’s internal alarm systems on active standby. Alma Latinas was just such a place. Sure, Mike had visited this cantina before with several friends, but never alone. Actually, Gringos never visited this part of Nuevo Laredo alone, and he knew this, so what the hell was he doing there? When you’re twenty and bulletproof, in your mind anyway, no place is off limits.

Be Your Own Muse. Top Story - May 2025.
"I am my own muse. I am the subject I know best. The subject I want to know better." -Frida Kahlo I wanted to use the note taking function on my Kindle Scribe a little bit more. Just to help me stay consistent with journalling. I bought three of Nina Madsen's books on my birthday. It was a steal of a deal for only $0.99 per book. I started working on this journal and the first few prompts captured my attention.
