Loneliness. Top Story - July 2024.
Yearning for a feeling beyond the breach, just on the edge of arms reach. Give me my knight in shining armor, my sword wielding king crowned by the unyielding stone.

SNAKE
A snake you say I am - Not a woman or an innocent lamb, Neither a citizen or a thinking being - Ignorant to my well-being.

Poisoned Paradise
I can offer you a poisoned paradise - the tip of the iceberg for my planned disguise: a grand design veiled in shadow and ichor,

Vore. Content Warning.
Walls of flesh envelope me, undulating with a sickening rhythm. Mucus and sticky membrane web out between my fingers as I pull them apart, trying to feel my way through a cocoon of viscera.

Fantastical Vocal Favorites Vol. IV. Top Story - June 2024.
Welcome back everyone to a very special volume of Fantastical Vocal Favorites! Before choosing the pieces to be featured on FVF, I like to think of a theme or 'vibe' I want to shoot for so that all stories picked fit with each other in some way shape or form.

Port A Outside My Window
It's been 12 years since I've seen you last. Through these adult eyes, you haven't changed in the places that matter. My childhood memories ring strong in your presence, creating a resonance between who I once was and who I have now become without you.

The bones are tired, but the will is strong - unbending like the mountain who stood witness to millions of sunrises promised to a wuthering sky.

If Evil, Why Cute?. Top Story - May 2024.
It starts like this, fair readers: It's the early morning, and I've just stolen the last cup of coffee from the pot. I open up my brainstorming journal to scrappy pages, my laptop primed upon a dusty, glowing white screen; words either already written or about to be written upon the blank spaces.

And the Sun Came Up Tremendous. Top Story - May 2024. Content Warning.
In memory of the 12 girls who were among the first victims of the atomic age. The screen on Mara's smartphone screamed beams of blue light into her eyes as she doom scrolled through social media. It was 4:13am, and she was still laying on her side in her bed unable to let go of the news headlines whipping past.

Return of the Tidecaller
Change. It can occur without warning. Run, they scream. They are all screaming, but I do not turn to ask them why. Their robes bristle and their teeth flash in the light of the setting, blood-stained sun, but I do not feel alarm. I can feel the rumbling of hundreds of fleeing feet hitting the sand around me, and a gentle roar steadily growing louder, and louder, and louder until it begins to drown out my own thrumming heartbeat. And yet, I do not move.
