Humanity
I Married for Safety—and Slowly Disappeared. Content Warning.
Evelyn stood at the edge of the marina, breathing in the crisp, pine-scented air of the Canadian coast. It felt sharper—more alive—than the vanilla-scented stillness of the house waiting for her back in Maple Bay.

Now Be Thankful
Introduction The inspiration for this was the Fairport Convention song, and while I feel we should be thankful for things in our lives, we should not just accept the bare minimum in things, but we should always be part of what makes things better for us.

The Gardener's Sin
Elias kept to himself, always had. The old house, tucked away at the edge of town, became a silent fortress, a shell around the strange, pulsating heart of his obsession. Most folks figured he was just eccentric, a man who preferred dirt to company. They didn't know about the garden. Couldn't imagine it.

The Black Mark of AI
Now that I’ve returned to this site to seek out riches and attention for my own nefarious purposes, and as I comment on other people’s work in hopes that my selfishly-intentioned kindness will feed back into me in due time, I keep seeing the AI-generated content label everywhere. I appreciate the warning, and I skip any story that may have it. I suppose that’s why it’s there, so that people whose tastes oppose AI integration into art and media can gently invest their time and attention elsewhere. But I think this is indicative of a greater blight, something which breeds animosity between myself and the robots which lazy content spewers outsource the emotional and physical labor of writing to.

Word of the Day: 小説
I have eaten quite a bit. I don't know if that is from SAD, actual depression or my body reacting to a possible fetus developing in my body. I am not trying to overthink that last bit, well either way I am not overthinking it, I am just trying to deal with not stress eating in anyway.

She don’t like you
She don’t like you — and that truth feels dangerous, raw, unsettling. It hits you in the chest before it settles in your mind. You hear it, and something inside you snaps awake. I know. I was you. Chasing. Hoping. Giving. Trying to earn affection that never came. I learned the hard way that women not liking you isn’t about your worth — it’s about a deeper game you didn’t know you were in. A game about value, identity, attraction, and where real loyalty actually comes from. Strap in. This is the truth that changes everything.

The Grave of Silence. Content Warning.
They called me cruel. But they never looked at what they left behind. I wish they could see the broken side of me—the part they help create. The part that still wakes with me. Still follows me like a shadow, never gone, always just beneath the surface.

When Power Ignored Responsibility
A Complaint on Trump: When Power Ignored Responsibility Leadership is not measured by how loudly one speaks, but by how carefully one acts. In times of global uncertainty, the world looks to powerful nations not for dominance, but for stability, cooperation, and restraint. When leadership becomes impulsive, personal, or dismissive of global responsibility, the consequences are not limited to borders. They ripple outward, affecting lives far beyond any single nation.
