The Pharmacist's Dilemma
The bell above Dupuis Pharmacy's door chimed with the same tinny persistence that had announced customers for the past fifteen years, but Mimi Delboise barely noticed the familiar sound as she stepped inside. The October afternoon had turned unexpectedly warm, making her monthly purchase of Dr. Whitman's Digestive Powders feel more urgent than usual. The powders helped settle her stomach during the investigative work that often required her to witness things that would turn anyone's constitution.

The Rise Of Kiro (kairo series). Content Warning.
CHAPTER 1: The First Fire PAGE 1 The sirens weren't for him. Not yet. But Kiro felt them in his bones anyway, deep and vibrating, like a warning bell only certain people were cursed to hear. They echoed off brick walls and rumbled through the cracked pavement like war drums, like ghosts singing lullabies to the lost.

🌑 Beneath the Silent Mountains
In the remote highlands of Pakistan, where jagged peaks pierce the heavens and silence drapes the valleys heavier than snow, there lay a forgotten village, carved into the mountainside. It was a world where the earth was hard, the air thin, and hearts even harder. Here, love was not a language you dared to speak aloud. Here, women were shadows and men were sentinels of tradition, guarding rules older than memory itself.

I Rewatched My Childhood Sci-Fi Shows and They Predicted My Adult Life
Growing up, Saturday mornings weren’t about pancakes or cartoons with slapstick comedy. For me, they were about distant galaxies, neon-lit cities, and time portals that sparked more curiosity than my school textbooks ever could. I was that kid—the one who could name every character from Star Galaxy Patrol or Quantum Escape, the one who doodled jetpacks in the margins of math homework. I never thought those pixelated adventures would one day become a mirror of my adult reality.

Book review: The Descendant by H. P. Lovecraft
Some stories don’t simply unfold — they whisper from the shadows, beckoning the reader to peer into the abyss of ancient memory and forbidden knowledge. The Descendant by H. P. Lovecraft is one such story. Though fragmentary and unfinished, it offers a haunting glimpse into a narrative that could have become one of Lovecraft’s most atmospheric works. Reading it feels like standing at the threshold of something vast and unknowable, just catching the scent of the horror that lies beyond. And despite its brevity, it lingers — like a dream half-remembered and wholly unsettling.

Book review: The Valley of Fear by Arthur Conan Doyle
Some books surprise you not because of a twist or a revelation, but because they take a form you didn’t expect and lead you down a path far more layered than you originally imagined. The Valley of Fear by Arthur Conan Doyle is one such work. I approached it as yet another Sherlock Holmes adventure, but what I found was a novel that artfully blends classic deduction with a sweeping, deeply atmospheric backstory — a tale that veers into the territory of political intrigue, betrayal, and moral ambiguity. It's a work that stands apart in the Holmes canon not just because of its content, but because of its structure and ambition.
