Veil of Subconscious Awakening. Top Story - February 2026.
Images slide behind my eyelids like film cadres, bursting with meanings. In one moment, I’m speeding down the highway, making the speedometer swing wildly like a frantic pendulum. The next moment, I’m plunging from a falling plane, slowly crashing earthward. At home, I meet black cat’s green, googly eyes staring at me from the cavernous hollowness of the kitchen. When I turn for a moment, it disappears, and all I can see is a pair of blue suede shoes set up against the wall. I pick them up and put them on. When I glimpse at them again, they’ve become black as night, making me blink and flinch.

Private System Failure (So Far)
Have you ever thought about what it would be like to be a full-time fiction writer? To have a contract and write stories as your job, not just a hobby? Writing for work instead of pleasure can feel overwhelming, but that’s the future I imagined when I began writing crime novels inspired by my difficult life experiences.

Pot Belly
The sour smell of the basement resembled a garbage disposal. Flies, sweaty from the scorching summer, circled the fruits and vegetables, munching on flour and potatoes before settling on the compost bucket. They dined there for a while, finding solace and freedom from human hands and a break from the endless circling air. After all, they were regulars, and that demanded respect.
