The City That Bled Ink
Every street was a story — and the walls wrote themselves.
In Buenos Aires, a strange phenomenon began: the walls started writing. Black ink dripped from cracks, forming words in dozens of languages.
At first, people thought it was vandalism. Then they realized the ink described their own lives — dreams, confessions, fears.
When one poet tried to read his story aloud, the city went silent. The next morning, his apartment door was sealed with hardened ink.
On the wall beside it was one final line:
“Some stories don’t want to be finished.”

The Cave Part 1
"What happened to me?" The question hung in the air, damp and hollow as it was. I felt the closeness of the walls, solid and deep. There was no echo. No hope that a simple voice could impede the silent dark. It surrounded me, gathered up and rolled over me with a blanket of complete forgetfulness. I was gone. Dead. To all who knew me, lost years ago. This is what happens to bones. This is what happens to those buried and left to lie beneath the earth until the end of time.
