Sucker Punch
Sucker Punch 10/24/2025 Nancy. Hard hitting. Nothing superfluous. Nose to the grindstone Nancy. She was the fattest in the class and a bit of a show-off, with her hand to the air every question like she knew the answer to every one. What a square.

Sparrow on a Plank Chapter 1: Starting in Chains
No. That’s what he should have said this morning. Instead, Hajime was chained to a cold wall in the dank dungeon of some second-rate castle with someone firing up the branding irons. And his pants are nowhere to be seen. He smirked to himself; some people would pay decent money for the privilege of being where he was now. The scrawny kid from the docks of an oriental port wouldn’t mind trading places with one of those well-fed lordlings right about now.

Sparrow on a Plank Chapter 2: When The Sparrow Meets The Salamander
[For the last chapter, look here.] Hajime walked into the Spectacled Rhino, and headed straight for the table with Sal. This was not the usual dive bar he was used to meeting her; the tables here were clean and there were people actually waiting on the customers. He had problems cutting through the curry in the air, but it was a welcome change from the smoke and cheap booze he generally associated with Sal's usual watering hole.

The Man Who Spoke to a Cabbage
They say madness begins in silence. But in my case, it began in the garden. I wasn’t always the man who spoke to vegetables. Once, I was an ordinary shopkeeper with a small life — shelves of canned beans, customers who came and went, and an old radio that hummed away my loneliness. Then came the fire. It swallowed the store, the street, and the pieces of my life that had any shape. After that, words felt useless. I stopped talking to people.

Karachi Chronicles Chapter 12
Due to our security protocol, as I’ve touched on frequently, there wasn’t a heap of out and about. For that reason it was pretty exciting when we got the privilege to play a round of golf at the Augusta of Pakistan, Karachi Golf Club. Established in 1888, this twenty seven hole course is the oldest golf club in Pakistan. We were assigned to play the yellow course, which are holes ten through eighteen. This nine features both the longest par 4 and shortest par 3 on the entire course.

Golden Dreams
Golden Dreams: A Journey Beyond Wealth The sun had barely risen when the boy woke from the same dream again. A golden light, vast and endless, stretching beyond the horizon. It called to him — not with words, but with warmth, whispering promises of something greater than all the riches of men. He could never quite explain it, but every time he closed his eyes, he saw it glowing beyond a veil of clouds, like a mountain of light waiting to be climbed.

Knotted Roots - Part 11
Grace woke up the next day in disbelief, her childhood sweetheart, Jasper Black, in love with Jane?! It was hard to believe. Although, who could blame him, I haven’t necessarily been a saint, or really fair to him. Grace was honest with herself, slowly brushing her hair while reflecting in the mirror. Her mother startled her, breaking her from her thoughts as she entered after a light knock. “Grace, honey. You’ve been sitting up here all day. What’s going on?” “Nothin’ Mama.” “Are you having second thoughts about Greg?” Mama always seemed to have a way of reading me. I wasn’t sure how to answer her, I loved Greg, but I also loved Jasper. Now that he’s moved on, could I? Did I want to? “This is one of the most important decisions of your life, sweetie. Take all the time you need.” With her kind words, Mama left the room. I was alone in my thoughts again. Maybe I should go for a ride, it had been a few weeks since I took Spot out. I grabbed a hat from the rack by the door, and made my way to the barn.

Karachi Chronicles Chapter 11
As visiting international cricketers, we were kept under a high level of security. This meant we weren’t able to freely cruise the streets in our downtime. Although our main focus was playing cricket and recovering, the thought of being confined to the hotel complex was an interesting situation. Working with our conditions, our gracious hosts made sure we still got to attend multiple functions and rub shoulders with a host of influential people.

A Time For Everything. Top Story - October 2025.
I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, exhaled and smiled as I opened my eyes. Seeing stalks sprouting gracefully and vines colliding into each other in unity as they tangle their way through the mosses with force made me to realize that bare land can even surprise you over time when graced with dew and time.
