Mystery

Mystries of Bermuda Triangle
The Devil's Triangle, sometimes referred to as the Bermuda Triangle, is an ill-defined area in the western North Atlantic Ocean. Bermuda, San Juan (Puerto Rico), and Miami (Florida, USA) are commonly recognized as the triangle's vertices. The Bermuda Triangle has become well-known over time for being the supposed location of multiple unexplained ship and aircraft disappearances. It's crucial to remember, though, that a lot of the tales involving the Bermuda Triangle have been exaggerated, and there is frequently little scientific proof to back up allegations of paranormal activity.

Dear Diary
Dear Diary. Those are the words on my cover. I am in the hands of a young woman named Shannon Kemp, though I am not hers. I didn't end up in Shannon's hands accidentally. I was taken. Well, I don't want to say taken; it makes it sound like I was kidnapped. Kidnapping has sinister undertones. There was nothing sinister about Shannon's acquisition.

The Greatest Escape
A rich hush empties my mind as I traverse the snow-fallen landscape. While this gift seeps into the crevices of my deepest anxieties, I inhale sharply through my nose and exhale through my mouth, catalyzing the calming effects with icy breath. I walk briskly. The cold keeps pace but doesn’t bother me. A scene like this is my tabula rasa; the sins I mean to outrun mean nothing here. Acting as both sanctuary and confessor, the only danger I face in this forest is from myself. It’s the trees that understand that I didn’t have a choice. The ground assures me I’m still a good person. The wind whispers soft promises never to let someone hurt me again.

The Lighthouse at the Edge of Existence
The sea stretched out endlessly in all directions, a vast expanse that seemed to touch the edge of existence itself. At the heart of this delicate seascape stood the Lighthouse at the Edge of Existence, a beacon that transcended the fabric of reality. Its pulsating light cut through the veil between dimensions, guiding lost souls caught in the cosmic currents.

A New World
* Pondering decisions bringing me here to this moment, by dint of ice-capped eyes. Wide open, peering motionless through a prodigious kaleidoscope.

The Hunter
Lying here, in silver twisted twilight’s fate. Face staring up at the sky. The world froze to my face. The pain, inescapable.

Wondrous Orbs
In January snow i ventured out to the store, where found inside a display of Wondrous Orbs. They usually aren’t available until early Spring, the Roses preserved in a globular water ring. Taking a photo of the glittering delight, until I realized my house keys were nowhere in sight! How could they just disappear from my zipped purse, I clearly remember locking my door in the Winter curse. The Office was closed to my dismay, all I could do was sit in the lobby & pray. A girl appeared who helped me sort things out. Letting me call security on the comfort of her couch. No one would be there until the following day, I’m forever grateful she let me stay. This made me realize their should be more protection for folks who live alone, as my battery life slowly drained out from my cellphone. Thinking about the vanishing of the key, I didn’t feel secure from the mystery. A desperate feeling when you can’t open your front door, wishing someone could install a retina scan that would help more. I wish the pool below had an heated geyser, then swimming in the Winter would be much nicer! They could lite torches making it feel tribal. Instead of covering it up with plastic for cold weather survival. Each Winter I wait until Punxsutawney day for a ceremony of Sunlight rays. Even a squirrel needn’t a lock on his tree home, as I sit & listen to the Winter wind moan.

Like Father. Content Warning.
“Did you want another one, Frank?” The older bartender surveyed the dim flickering lights of his dingy establishment as he posed a question to the sole patron seated at the bar. The lights cast dancing shadows across the worn furnishings, and the overall tone of the corner pub screamed mediocrity. The space, while accommodating for a handful of regulars with tales etched in time, remained far from suitable for larger gatherings.
