The Mysteries of Consciousness
Consciousness is something we all experience constantly, yet it’s difficult to define or measure. You can’t see it, hold it, or taste it; it simply is.

Denouement
YOU SHOULD NOT READ THESE WORDS... Writing them was worse, but justified. The fact that this is what it took to finally bring closure to this situation between you and your friends is horrible, but necessary. 'Friends'...that word should now and forever take on an entirely different meaning given our decision to perform this heinous action.

Yet here we are...and here you are, eyes of confusion laced with defiance still traveling along the words that will define a moment for us all...

Echoes in the Fading Light
Part I: The Stillness of Morning Sarah Monroe stood at the window of her childhood home, staring out at the garden bathed in the soft light of early morning. The house, a Victorian relic in a small New England town, had witnessed her entire life, its creaking floors and dust-laden corners echoing with memories. Today, however, the house seemed almost too quiet, as if it were holding its breath in anticipation of her departure.
