A city disappears from the map overnight—tell the story from someone who remembers it. I remember the city like a pulse beneath my skin, a heartbeat everyone else seems to have forgotten. Yesterday, it was alive. The market on Alder Row smelled of fresh bread and roasting spices, thick with laughter and the clang of …
Ascension, Quietly Ascension does not arrive in light or sound. There is no moment of fanfare, no sky splitting open. Instead, it begins as a subtle shift—like the edge of a shadow moving just out of sight. You remain human, unchanged in form, unchanged in breath. Yet everything feels different. The world itself grows quieter. …
The Place That Feeds on Memory The place does not exist in any way that can be mapped. During the day, it collapses into nonbeing—a thinning of reality so subtle the mind refuses to acknowledge it. A blind spot in the world. A stretch of space where intention falters. People walk past it carrying full …

The World Pauses, But You Don’t Everything stopped. The wind hung in the branches like smoke caught mid-ascent. Leaves quivered in impossible suspension, veins exposed in cruel perfection. Birds were frozen mid-flight, wings spread wide, beaks open as if caught mid-song. Fish hovered beneath the river’s surface, scales glinting like shards of polished glass. Even …
I stayed on that glowing root a little longer, letting the forest hum and the spiral settle. Pickles yawned, sending a puff of cinnamon-scented smoke curling lazily into the air. I laughed softly, reaching down to scratch behind his tiny ears—if he had ears, that is. Tiny claws tapped against my hand in a rhythm …
Scripture of the Drift Before name, before echo, there was the void.It did not breathe.It did not wait.It only hung, infinite and indifferent. Bodies came and went.Some coalesced.Some dissolved.Some were carried by tides too ancient to notice. The pull was not cruelty.It was inevitability.Currents folded matter into themselves, shaping what could survive.Even the brightest radiance …
Still Holding-Endurance This started as a TikTok trend. I didn’t expect it to feel like a mirror. The prompt was simple: create an interpretative portrait of what your mental health would look like if it hung in a museum. I expected something abstract, maybe dramatic. What I got instead was quiet. Heavy. Honest. If my …
