The Smallest Guest
Eleanor had always been meticulous about her garden, even in late November when most sensible plants had given up for the season. She was deadheading the last stubborn chrysanthemums when she saw him—a tiny figure no bigger than her thumb, huddled beneath a yellowing hosta leaf.

The Ghost in Willow Park
Beneath the willow's silver sweep, Where morning mist and shadows sleep, Young Mira wandered, bright and free, To her most favorite willow tree.

Against the Glass
I sat gently still against my window pane, Watching droplets trace their silver paths, Each one a story, each one a refrain

Dreamer's Burden
The first dream felt like a gift. Mira woke with the image burning bright behind her eyelids: a girl in a yellow sundress emerging from a weathered red barn, sunlight catching the wheat-colored meadow around her like spun gold. The girl's face remained frustratingly out of focus, but her movements were graceful, unhurried. Peaceful.

Haven's Rest
The gas gauge had been on empty for thirty miles when Sarah saw the sign: "Welcome to Haven's Rest - Pop. 247." She'd driven this stretch of Highway 191 a hundred times visiting her mother at the care facility, and there had never been a town here. Just endless scrub brush and the occasional roadkill.

Caught
The walls close in— granite shoulders hunched, pressing, pressing until breath becomes a stolen thing,

The Storm's Lament
The sky weeps silver tears tonight, Each drop a memory let go, While thunder mourns what used to be In voices only sorrow knows.

Flying High
When Supergirl premiered on CBS in 2015 before moving to The CW in its second season, the superhero television landscape was already crowded. Arrow had been soaring since 2012, The Flash had sprinted onto screens in 2014, and audiences might have wondered if there was room for another caped crusader. The answer, as six seasons and 126 episodes proved, was a resounding yes.

The Anywhere Door
Chapter 1: Discovery Mira first noticed the door on a Tuesday. Not because it appeared suddenly—it had always been there in her grandmother's basement, tucked behind the old furnace like a forgotten afterthought. What she noticed was that it had no handle on the basement side, no hinges, no frame that made sense with the foundation walls. It was simply a door that existed, painted the same faded blue as summer sky.

Diamond World
The Entrance The great diamond-shaped archway that once welcomed millions now stands as a broken crown. Half of its faceted panels have shattered, leaving jagged edges that catch rainwater and funnel it down in rust-colored streams. The turnstiles are frozen solid with corrosion, their chrome surfaces now a mottled brown-green. Scattered across the cracked entry plaza are fragments of the original diamond-embedded walkway, their facets dulled and clouded, crunching underfoot like broken teeth.

Iggy
Forward It’s been a long time, I think to myself as I sit at an empty table and begin to write. I hope I can still do it, I continue to ponder as I look up at the cloudy grey sky looking back at me with it’s vast emptiness and overclearing.
