Beyond (Poisoned) Blood and (Shattered) Bones
Family. Family was a word, concept, or even a social construct that Tim had struggled with for as long as he could remember. "M-y family are the most important people in my life, without a shadow of a doubt. From my mother, who with my father's seed, brought me forth from her womb, into this world of light and dark, wonder and horror. To my siblings who followed my pathway to life years later and then to my own family of wife and children. Above all, it’s the people who choose to be with you through thick and thin that truly define family. Nonna, Nonno, Grandad, Granny, uncles, aunts and cousins, too."

Droplets clung to the windowpane, fracturing the city lights into prismatic shards. She glanced at her watch—10:30 AM. Late again. The antique bracelet on her wrist tingled faintly, the one she never removed.

Cambridge Drive. Top Story - April 2025.
A lot of people didn't get the pleasure of growing up in the same house for a long period of time. Some children moving from town or state with their families. Maybe even out of the country, never staying in the same place for long. Weather it be due to the parents career, or maybe other family members had made a move, so the rest followed. All of those people had their reasons. My parents had their reasons too. We stayed put in the same house for the most part of the first eight to nine years of my childhood.

Love Has No Victory or Defeat, Only Unfinished Stories
The cafe was quiet, save for the soft hum of the espresso machine and the occasional clink of a spoon against porcelain. Riya sat by the window, her fingers tracing the rim of her coffee cup, lost in thought. The rain outside blurred the city lights into streaks of gold and red, a perfect reflection of the chaos inside her heart.
