The Forbidden Love of the Angel
In a remote, mist-shrouded town called Seraphina, surrounded by shadowy legends, lived a woman named Isabella. She was considered an anomaly in this dark world, for she was of an enigmatic beauty that fascinated and frightened the inhabitants in equal measure. Yet her life was one of unspeakable suffering. Isabella suffered from an inexplicable illness that baffled even the brightest doctors and scientists. Every touch by another human being seemed to drain her of vitality, and death always lurked by her side. For this reason, she had sealed herself off from the outside world to protect herself from any contact.

Navigating Nonsense:

An Alien, Here, There And Everywhere!
Sunday, 1 October 2023 (originally written on Jan 18, 2021) By: TB Obwoge This is my view almost daily, walking through life! I've never earned much money in my life. I've seen such horrible levels of poverty, not only in my own country but in African countries.

Dead Leaves. Top Story - October 2023.
It is not autumn itself that's the problem. No, I love autumn, with its energising climate after the alternating fug and disappointment of the English summer, its warm colours glowing in lowering sun, its iconography of harvest bounty and shenanigans in the borderlands between this world and the next. Potion brewing and tree hugging and pulling in to the nest, I have to say, it suits me well. Except. When I go to see the dentist, the smell of the waiting room makes me want to run. The airport feels only marginally less stifling than the plane, and the anticipation of a dreaded meeting is as unsettling as the meeting itself.

The Petals of This Poppy
Alright, let's all just pretend I'm not very late to this challenge haha. Here’s my ten facts about myself… 1. Poppy is a pen name. Yep, I write short stories and hopefully one day novels under my real name and the more vulnerable things like all my poetry and a few depressing short stories under this one - hence the shady profile pictures and my hesitance to do this challenge. So I'm going to be vague with my ten facts and let you get to know me without really getting to know me haha. So you can picture me standing in a shadowy corner, without revealing my face as you read this.

Locked Heart
What is this place? Why is it shrouded in darkness? There's no entrance, no way in, yet a flicker of light pierces the gloom of this small, cubical room. It's not big enough for anyone else, just me. But I'm comfortable here. I have no desire to leave, yet the door exists—I can feel it, though I can't see it. I have the key, a golden key adorned with shapes and cryptic symbols. I've spent an eternity trying to solve them, and now I'm certain of their impossibility. What's the use of a key without a door? And this door, a creation of my own imagination, has no proof of existence except this feeling. This feeling deceives me, distancing it when I approach and bringing it near when I retreat. It's an empty loop, suggesting the futility of escape. Is it worth all this effort? Or is it just another illusion? But the real question remains: Is escape even possible?

"Just Not Good Enough". Top Story - October 2023.
Am I the only one who's tired of losing? Maybe I shouldn't be looking at situations as "loss" or "win", but how do you not? Everyone searches for value and self-worth. A little winning goes a long way to supporting that. Is it so much to ask, to just win once in a while?
