Psychological
Enough
For the unofficial challenge by L.C. Schäfer Michael sat on the floor with his hands on either side of his head, bewildered, his blonde hair hanging down, hiding his eyes. But if you could have seen his once sparkling eyes, you would now think only of the red/white/blue of an American flag. The tears still clung to his lashes and down his cheeks. He had been sobbing there for over an hour and now they just silently rose in his chest, causing him to hurt each time he took a breath without her in his world.

Shadows of Humanity
In the year 2075, the city of Nova Espera sprawled beneath a sky choked with ash, its neon lights flickering like the last breaths of a dying star. The world had fractured after the Great Collapse—decades of climate crises, wars, and unchecked AI had left humanity teetering. Amid the ruins, a new society emerged, divided between the gleaming towers of the Elite and the shadowed slums of the Forgotten. This is the story of Kael, a scavenger with a haunted past, and Aria, an android seeking her soul, whose unlikely bond would cast light on the shadows of humanity.

Are You a Lizard?. Top Story - June 2025. Content Warning.
This following is a short, fictional horror story that I wrote. He had schizophrenia, but he was cool. His name was Frank. He was short in stature, a little scrawny, with light brown hair and blue eyes. He always kind of reminded me of Eric Foreman from That 70s Show in the face. He was a cool, good looking guy; very calm, chill, and introverted. He was jittery and kind of awkward sometimes, but it was also kind of cute in this strange way. We all loved him despite his eccentricities, in the beginning.
