Heir of the Storm
+CHAPTER ONE — The Debt and the Dawn The Astral had no sky. Just memory wearing the shape of one. Grass crackled beneath Odyssey’s bare feet like burning pages. A wind moved through the brittle field, carrying the scent of distant rain that never fell. Above her, clouds churned like tender bruises under pressure.

The Night the Witch Stopped Waiting”
They said she haunted the forest long before the village ever existed. Some said that she had walked the earth for centuries, untouched by time. Others believed she was already dead, a wandering spirit wearing the memory of a woman's face. But the truth was far simpler, and far sadder: she was waiting.

The Abandoned Puzzle Room
The abandoned Puzzle Room has been abandoned for years. Many years. I’m too old it seems. I use to play on it. I’m now 521/2years younger old. It was closed down very years prior to people’s who just gave up. Gave up on life!! They throw it everywhere. Too me, there were many signs. Always I used to sneak out and go down there. I found it. It used to be my refuge place. A place where I’d add to pictorial visuals. I always said I would one day put the world back together. And I sure could keep it secretly to this day.

A Christmas Glitch. Top Story - December 2025.
The twins were dead. Our hero knew it, and you may imagine that a little something in him unclenched when he saw the news on his screen. Now, at last, he was truly free of them, and the knowledge was like a sigh. Were he a balloon animal, one segment of his torso (or his neck, or one intestinal-esque limb) would have gently unscrewed itself. His heart and lungs lost a little creak that he didn't even know he'd been carrying.

When Woe Comes
There came out from beneath the Wandering Mountains a knight errant wearing worn-shod armor and an old beautiful sword. The rings of his mail were tarnished and haggard; his breastplate—once sterling—cracked from contest with one greater than he; the belt about him had lost its buckle and so he fastened it with a knot.

The Man Who Heard the Shadows
In a quiet valley far from busy cities, there stood a kingdom famous for its beauty but troubled by a strange mystery. Every night, the villagers claimed they heard whispers near the mountains. Some said it was wind. Others said it was the voice of spirits. No one really knew. The king often tried to investigate, but his advisors dismissed everything as superstition.

The Cave. Content Warning.
The smell of the ocean air met violently with the putrid metallic odor of blood and viscera, the waves crashing around him as he stared blankly at the horizon while the Spanish galleon he arrived on grew increasingly smaller. He launched his pockmarked breastplate to the ground in disgust as his skin morphed from a sunburned olive to a pale alabaster.

The Color She Chose
By the time she finished mopping the main floor, Cindy’s back ached. She rubbed her sore hands together and paused. The white floors sparkled like never before, and the entire house was finally spotless. Her stepmother and stepsisters had been gone for two consecutive days, which meant she could actually clean without them walking through mud or spilling champagne everywhere.
