Excerpt
Rainmaker Rallies
In the beginning, long before the existence of mortals and life, there was nothing but vast Darkness. For aeons, this is all that was. One day, a crack appeared in the blackest part of the skies, and the goddess Theta was birthed from the darkness. From here, Theta took control of the vague, infinite space, creating from within it four Goddesses: one for each aspect of the Earth. For Theta feared, without them, life could not exist, and the Darkness She was created from would persist for all of eternity.

The Engine Revs. Top Story - December 2024.
I'm tired. Kin, the great city soldier of chaos, is tired. Not enough for the effort of lighting a cigar and pouring bourbon to be exhausting, but enough for the process of thinking to have become taxing. My thoughts, my soul, they rev higher and higher, bouncing first off the red line and then promising to smash through it while I become a machine consuming gallons upon gallons of fuel to keep up with the demand.

The Unbreakable Spirit of Maria
I grew up in the quaint rural village of Viñales, Cuba, nestled in the heart of the island's tobacco country. The year was 1992, and the village was a tapestry of rustic charm and rugged beauty. The thatched roofs of our wooden homes blended seamlessly into the lush green landscape, as if nature itself had crafted the village. The air was alive with the sweet scent of freshly harvested tobacco, and the sound of rustling leaves carried on the gentle breeze like a soothing melody.

The True Story Behind Snow White: A Darker Tale Than You Think
Everyone knows Disney’s 1937 animated classic Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. However, the tale that inspired it is much older and rooted in a real story far more chilling than the one immortalized by the Brothers Grimm in 1812. This darker origin traces back to the life of Margaretha von Waldeck, whose story mirrors key elements of the fairy tale but is steeped in historical tragedy.

Cutting Deep. Content Warning.
I haven't forced myself to throw up in years. I never was a 'cutter'. That might have more to do with ignorance. Or the lack of reliably sharp knives. Also my ignorance of straight razors. And the general fear of pain has always been a real deterrent for me.
