The Lantern Keeper
It started with a dare. One of those drunken challenges thrown around at 2 a.m. during a camping trip. The old lighthouse on Blackthorn Cliff had been abandoned for decades, its iron gate locked and rusted shut. Legend had it that the last keeper, an unnamed man, had vanished one stormy night, leaving the light burning even though the lamp had no fuel. They say the light still glows when the fog rolls in, but no one dares check anymore. Not after what happened to the search party.

The Whispering Key
When I first found the key, I thought it was junk—a relic from the past lying forgotten in the dusty corner of an antique shop. It was made of tarnished brass, oddly heavy for its size, and cold… unnaturally cold. I could swear I heard a faint whisper as I held it, like the breeze before a storm. It was ridiculous, of course. Just my imagination.

A Girl, A Dream, A Legend
The village of Thiruvallur lay nestled in the heart of Tamil Nadu, a tapestry of emerald rice paddies stretching towards the horizon, punctuated by swaying coconut groves. It was a place steeped in tradition, where the whispers of ancient customs held more weight than modern pronouncements.

The Peacock and The Squirrel
There were two young boys, around the age of 13, who met each other on a popular Cruise line ship leaving from Alaska, traveling to California. One boy with dark curly hair and deep hazel eyes sat on a poolside chair sipping on a glass of apple juice. His name was Theus. He was wearing khaki pants, and a basic white t-shirt with some basic sneakers. He sat by the pool playing video games on his cell phone trying to figure out if his first Cruise trip was going to be any fun.

354 HoME Note and Heartstrings
In this season there's a reason home's where the hearth is. To leave it is to enter the cold: Like gravity, home-warmth decays inversely with the square of the distance. And its song fades even faster.

A Song for the Stars
Sometimes, the music of the heart is heard beyond the world we know. The Blind Musician of Willow Creek Ezra lived in a tiny town nestled at the base of a sprawling hill known as Willow Creek. The town was peaceful, the kind of place where the days drifted by slowly, and the nights were blanketed with stars. Ezra had lived there all his life, in a little cottage near the creek. Born blind, he had never seen the colors of the world, the expressions on people’s faces, or even the stars that everyone in town admired so much.

Arrows Of Gold. Content Warning.
Standing here, at the shooting range, my bow at the ready, I focus on the target in the distance. Today is my sixteenth birthday, yet no one cares. I've been preparing for this day for six years now, practicing my archery and biding my time, bitterly and exquisitely. I breathe in and out, barely holding my excitement, smirking to myself.
