Rain That Never Ends
It had been raining for five years. Not a day, not an hour of silence from the sky. The people of Maravelle had long stopped waiting for the sun. The old roads were rivers now, and the hills were islands. Children learned to swim before they learned to walk. Markets floated on barrels and bamboo rafts, schools drifted in circles tethered to the remains of clock towers, and crops grew in hanging gardens on rooftops.

Sanctuary
The rain had been falling for three days straight. Not the kind that dances on rooftops and sings lullabies, but the kind that soaks through bones — heavy, endless, punishing. The town below was drowning in mud and silence. Yet high on the hill, where the forest thickened into darkness, the old church stood untouched.

The Two Twin Williams
The Two Twin Williams The night their mother died, the wind carried no song. The house stood still beneath the weight of sorrow. A candle flickered beside her bed as the midwife whispered prayers. One child cried in his Mothers arms, strong and fierce, the other weaker, silent as the grave she would soon fill. The nurse lifted the quiet one, wrapped him in cloth, and looked to the woman who was slipping away. She will not live till dawn, the midwife said. The nurse nodded once, then vanished into the cold with the child. No one saw her leave, no one asked why. By morning, only one boy lay beside the mother’s still hands. They named him William and buried her beneath the cypress tree. The other child was carried far into the dust to grow among strangers and silence, his name whispered only in dreams.

A Vampire Story
My little cabin had really changed since meeting my so-called daughter. She spent most of her time hanging out with other vamps, and regulars, as they called the non vampires, in Svalsbard. I didn't have any idea there were so many vampires here, or I wouldn't have come. Yet here I was, in my cozy cabin that has been rearranged to make room for Ivory and entertain visitors.

The Café That Waited for Love
The rain had been falling since morning, soft and unhurried, like the city itself had decided to move in slow motion. Inside Café Loraine, the windows fogged from the warmth of espresso and conversation, turning the world outside into a watercolor blur.
