Who is in Control?
From the depths of an ignored reality, I watch. My beady eye is always staring, always studying, always learning. You used to cover me up, used to hide away from my watchful gaze using a post-it note or a random piece of paper. Now you let me stare at you from your desks. You see me watching you every time you pick up your phone and you have heard all the stories, but you play ignorant.

Where the Water Sleeps
The lake had no name. Locals called it the Hollow, though no one could say why. It sat nestled between hills like a mirror framed in green, glassy and soft-edged, its surface broken only by dragonflies and the occasional ripple that spread without wind.

The Crimson Veil. Content Warning.
They said Lady Isolde was born beneath an eclipse — a black sun hung over her cradle like a crown. Her skin was white as wax, her lips bruised red. The midwife whispered a blessing. The priest bit his tongue. Her father smiled too long.

The Lost Jungle of the Parrots
The Lost Jungle of the Parrots Long ago, hidden deep within the heart of the Amazon, there was a place untouched by man — a jungle so dense, so alive, and so vibrant that even the oldest maps didn’t mark it. The locals called it Selva Perdida — the Lost Jungle. Legends whispered of a mystical valley where parrots ruled the skies, intelligent and colorful, with voices that echoed the past and eyes that held ancient wisdom.

The Spy
I see a man every day. He has a walking stick, a black coat, dark glasses and a black shapeless hat. He could be a spy. He does not wear a gaberdine suit or have a bowtie that is really a camera, but that does not preclude him from being a spy.
