Stream of Consciousness
The Rhythm of The Same Old. Runner-Up in Static Challenge. Top Story - August 2026.
A ceiling fan whines and clicks as the loose blades spin. In answer to how the week is going, the patient replies: it’s the same old bullshit, a hamster wheel every day , all the while a soothing song in the next room sticks, repeating words until someone hits the search function, and stations roll by jerkily with squeaks and tiny snippets of songs until a selection finally lands.

Chronic Pain Teaches in Whispers
Chronic Pain Teaches in Whispers Intro Chronic pain has shaped the way I move through the world. It’s not a battle anymore, and it’s not a story of defeat. It’s a quiet teacher, one that slows me down, sharpens my awareness, and reminds me that the body carries its own kind of wisdom. These three small pieces come from the rhythm of living with pain and learning to walk gently with it.
