It had been years, and there… Continue reading Into The Void: A Short Story
You rise again, hanging quiet in the dark, as you always do: Watching. Waiting. Listening. You don't knock. Never have. I feel your eyes: Patient. Waiting. I never ask if you have time. You always do. Even when the night is crowded, and others talk, you leave a little space for me. I speak softly… Continue reading My Confidant: A Poem

Maia stood still. Unable to move. Her village was gone, destroyed to the ground. She knelt, arms trembling as she picked up the discarded bear. Covered in soot and dust, it was the last remnant that remained. Nothing was left. No homes, no roads, no people. Nothing. She pressed the bear to her chest, her… Continue reading Defender… Or Not: A Short Story
In the dead of night, when even stars seem to fade, a faint glow lingers. Not loud, not bright, but stubborn, unyielding. The lantern glows softly. It doesn’t fight the shadows, doesn’t shatter the silence, doesn’t promise a clear path. A quiet presence, a soft pulse beneath all that was lost. It hums beneath the… Continue reading The Lantern: A Poem
