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?

Of Chaos and Consequence. Top Story - May 2025.
Consequences, mapped, spread, and stretched across the chaos they so deftly served in their given time, are ordered by unseen forces. We grasp at straws to find reason and rhyme, some semblance of "the why" when the seemingly random shatters our steady ground.

GPTZero: Part of the Problem? . Top Story - May 2025.
I have seen multiple discussions about running work through GPTZero in order to test for AI content and I can honestly say to you that this on the surface is a great idea, but please don't be naive when you think that it will always give you a correct result.

Restoration. Top Story - May 2025.
The healer’s hands glowed slightly as she moved them over the child’s head. Her fingers danced in the air, matching the rhythm of her humming like she was playing an instrument. Her dress was a pale blue, and she wore her hair tied back in a low bun, safely out of her face. She was spotless, despite the blood on the boy’s face.
