The Archive: Part One
Above the hearth, the greatest treasure ever pulled from the Archive hung in pride of place over the mantle piece. With intricate golden scrollwork running up the edges, its silver face gleamed in the semi-darkness of the empty bar room.

Truth be told
What's most important to me as a boy mom of three is keeping a honest, healthy, and emotionally connected bridge between each child. As someone who grew up without supportive and healthy emotional connections to parents and siblings because I was too emotional and sensitive, that is a personal mission. It has been quite uncomfortable and challenging for me with my children, oldest specifically because he is me (emotional and sensitive). You're probably wondering well shouldn't it be easy to give what I didn't receive and I have been wondering the same, but no it has not been that easy unfortunately. Has it gotten better? Yes! Does it wither? Yes! Am I giving up? Hell no!!

UNWAVERING TRUST
My journey starts in the humble settings of Edenvale. A small dusty town with closely woven houses and no back yards. Kids running on the street to create their own versions of childhood, and brothers discovering newfound urgency in highly risky experiments. Not the kind that motivate for empowerment and development but the kind that differentiate between making it out of Edenvale and being trapped in the Ferris wheel.
