It's always advancing. I'm always running. I know I'm not fast enough, but it's the last thing I can do. Across the centuries, every mortal has run from this. I can almost see them as whole galaxies zip past my viewport. They plead and beg and trade, all for one thing: more. More life. More … Continue reading Time

The Pen Is Mightier Than Ever!
Greetings, fellow writers, and happy March! I'm excited to be working and blogging again; my vacation was wonderful, full of both rest and adventure, but it's good to be back!

An Unusual Sort of Hitchhiker
Make sure to read below the story for some awesome news! My car's interface warned me about the hitchhiker when I was still a mile away. I could visualise it right then: some young student dressed in flashy clothes who had wandered just a little too far from the city in a drunken stupor, maybe … Continue reading An Unusual Sort of Hitchhiker
The Woods
An unedited writing warmup Marigold hacked through vines with her machete, grunting with the effort. Every inch of her body ached. And yet, as she edged through the thick woods little by little, her imagination fed on her surroundings. It seemed as if nothing could have ever lived in this unruly wilderness of green and … Continue reading The Woods
Waves
Prompt: Describe the sounds you heard the first time you swam in the ocean A splash, then laughter. Seagulls overhead join in, squawking with delight.

Stretch Your Brain with Writing Warmups
When you work out, you do a warmup before you start. Before a soccer game, you do a warmup to get you going. Even artists warm up with quick sketches before they get to work. So why don't we talk about writing warmups more? I'll admit that I haven't been the best at doing them … Continue reading Stretch Your Brain with Writing Warmups

An Unexpected Gift
Originally posted on my Ko-fi There’s a sound of something clawing at the back door. Even after months of living on my own, I still jump at any unexpected noises. It’s stupid, but there’s no one to see me do it, so I guess it doesn’t really matter. It only takes a second for my … Continue reading An Unexpected Gift
Misguided Ghosts
Originally posted on my Ko-fi When Victor opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was a crying child.

Victor checked … Continue reading Misguided Ghosts
