Thank you for stepping into my world of words.

I write between silence and scream where truth cuts and beauty bleeds. My stories don’t soothe; they scorch, then heal.

The Letter I Never Sent
The envelope had been sitting in the top drawer of my desk for three years. Cream-colored, the edges now soft and worn from my fingers brushing against it every time I reached for a pen. I had written his name on the front“Dad”but never found the courage to send it.

Beneath the Blood Moon
The night smelled of rain and secrets. Mara stood on the empty rooftop, her breath fogging in the cool September air, staring at the shadow creeping over the moon. The news had warned everyone about it the blood moon would cast its eerie glow tonight, an omen to some, a spectacle to others.

Marrying Their AI: Emotional Bonds Beyond the Human
The first time I heard someone say they wanted to marry their AI, I laughed. It sounded like a headline you scroll past without clicking, the kind of story designed only to stir reactions online. But when I saw it up close, in someone I actually knew, it stopped being a joke.

The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox and the Human Hunger for Narrative
When Amanda Knox’s name trends again, nearly two decades after the events in Perugia, it tells us something less about her and more about us. We remain fascinated, unsettled, even obsessed with her story. Not because we know it fully, but because we’ve never truly known it at all.

Garnacho’s Goal Played on the Radio That Night
The night Alejandro Garnacho scored that goal, the radio in our kitchen barely worked. The signal cut in and out, the announcer’s voice fading like it was drowning in static, but my brother insisted we leave it on. He leaned against the counter with his arms crossed, listening as if the crackle itself carried something important.

Megadeth: How the Band’s Revival Is Shaping Modern Metal
Megadeth, one of the defining names in thrash metal, is more than just a band it’s an institution. Their return, however, isn’t simply a nostalgic trip back in time. It’s a revival that shows metal is still alive, evolving, and pushing boundaries.

Perplexity Was Just a Word Until I Lived It
I used to think “perplexity” was just a fancy word for confusion. A crossword clue. Something people slipped into conversations to sound more intelligent than they felt.

Book Review: The Things They Carried by Tim O’Brien
Yes, it’s another Tim O’Brien book and yes, it’s another short story collection or is it a novel? The lines blur, and maybe that’s the point. Why? Well, my library had a copy in surprisingly good condition, and it seemed like the right time to revisit Vietnam at least through O’Brien’s strange, shifting lens. I don’t own many of his books, partly because the urge to read them comes in waves, and partly because you can only carry so much war in your head at one time. Let’s take a look at The Things They Carried, a book that has been haunting literature classes and personal bookshelves since the 1990s.

Book Review: The Memory Police by Yōko Ogawa
I’d been circling this book for months, watching the price tag stubbornly hold its ground like a sentinel. Every so often, I’d hover over the “Buy Now” button, wondering if I was in the right headspace for something so famously melancholic. Then, one unassuming Tuesday afternoon, the little orange Kindle box whispered: Best Price in 30 Days – £1.99. I didn’t hesitate.

Book Review: Piranesi by Susanna Clarke
I’ve been seeing this book for years and, for some reason, kept putting it off. Every time I passed it in a bookshop, I’d pick it up, admire the cover, then set it back down again, thinking “maybe next time.” But then one evening, I spotted it online at half the usual price “Best Price in 30 Days” blaring at me and I decided enough was enough. I clicked buy. Within hours of starting it, I realised I’d been a fool for waiting this long. This is the sort of book that rearranges your brain while you’re reading it, a story that is both strange and deeply human.

Book Review of “The House in the Pines” by Ana Reyes
Ana Reyes might have only just arrived on the scene a few years ago, but I can confidently say she’s already carved out her place as one of the most haunting psychological thriller writers I’ve read in recent memory. Her debut novel, The House in the Pines, made waves all over the U.S. when it first came out and not without reason. It’s the kind of novel that gets under your skin quietly, and then lingers like a shadow in the back of your mind.

Raiders, Richardson, and Rising Stars: NFL's Wild Week in Review
🏈 INTRODUCTION: THIS ISN’T JUST WARM-UP FOOTBALL The preseason is often dismissed glorified scrimmages, backups getting reps, coaches keeping playbooks under lock and key. But this week? It mattered.
