Creeping Void. Top Story - November 2024.
The stars are going out. For some reason, this doesn’t strike me as a sad thing. Nor a terrible one. I am seated on a couch, far beyond the crushing grip of our gravity well. Far beyond the light of our native star. For all that, I do not know where I am. Only that I am seated on a couch, the metal of the space station’s deck cold under my feet, with my arm around someone as we watch the stars go out.

Free as a Bird. Top Story - November 2024.
Of course she’s learned to fly. I’d have expected nothing less. Not from the woman who’d clasp my face between her hands and say: “Don’t tell me the sky’s the limit when there are footprints on the moon. You’ve got to believe in yourself Cale. I know I do.”

The Instinct of Collection. Top Story - November 2024.
Humans can be funny and predictable creatures. I was reminded of that fact strongly when I went to the Renaissance faire at the end of the summer season. I have friends among some of the entertainers; I like to see them perform live, support them, then wander around to check out other performers I think I may like.

You Never Know What The Year Will Bring | Part 1. Top Story - November 2024.
It was from one day this year, a starting point, that everything emerged. *** If you had told me at the turn of this year about everything I would eventually accomplish with my writing, you would have gotten a very unladylike smorgasbord of snorting, scoffing, and tear-inducing laughter.

The Haunted Laptop. Top Story - November 2024.
I pulled the refurbished laptop out of its box and began the process of setting it up and making it my own. It wasn’t everything I was looking for and it wasn’t the latest up to date but I knew it would offer me everything I needed to write my stories and search the internet without issue. My previous laptop had died on me so I was thrilled to finally have another one.

Three Can Keep a Secret if Two of Them are Dead. . Top Story - November 2024. Content Warning.
Mother taught me once a word was spoken it could never be unsaid. “If you gossip behind people’s backs, a little bird will tell them. If you tell even one friend your secret, the secret’s out, Cupcake.”

You Must Be The Change You Wish To See In The World. Top Story - November 2024.
“Spare a penny, young lady?” the old man asked, proffering a tin cup that had seen better days twenty years prior. Furtive eyes glanced quickly toward him, then away as high heels clicked past, their pace quickening.

The Origin of the Smiling Rock. Top Story - November 2024. Content Warning.
This is the next chapter in the ongoing saga of Shamblin' Sam and Ella, Queen of the Damned. The Narrator isn't too happy with me at the moment. I think he may be losing his shit, as we sometimes say here in the slums. Given the difficulty of the subject matter, I think he's done an admirable job navigating it with delicate words, but maybe give him some encouragement in the comments. He's a little shaken...

They Must Return. Top Story - November 2024.
"Give back, to receive." Michelle Liew ********************************************************** The streets around Mrs Evelyn Crenshaw’s home were an idyllic picture of fall- streets scattered with maple leaves, lawns with pumpkin husks strewn by their sides, and the beginnings of wintry Frost building up on the windows of cars.
