The Last Party
The day I met Emma started like any other, but then again, my days always start the same way: a repetitive cycle of mundanity marred by the occasional oddity. This time, however, the oddity was Emma herself. I remember vividly how she appeared in the café like a burst of sunlight through a thick, gray fog.

Liam's Ascent
In a small, weather-beaten town nestled between rolling hills and dense forests, lived a boy named Liam. The town, with its cracked sidewalks and rusting fences, seemed to be perpetually shrouded in a haze of gray. The people there spoke in murmurs, their voices blending with the wind that whispered through the empty streets.

The Flowers Died Today. Content Warning.
Part One The garden was beautiful that day - vivid, uplifting colors decorating the path to my parents' workshop. I always loved the intertwined scent of my mother's bouquets and my father's rustic furniture that would hit me even before I opened the doors.

Last Son of Ironhorn [ch.1]
The common hall of the inn was alive with jubilation as patrons danced around their tables to the beat of the drums. Marilda and her minstrel troupe sat on the dais in the corner of the hall, blending the drumming with the melodic tones of their horns, lutes, and the seamless lyrics of the woman’s honeyed voice. The musicians had only arrived the night before, and already greatly uplifted the otherwise dour mood of the Inn of the Hill Giant. Stranger danced arm in arm with stranger. Men and women who had only known each other in quiet passing held each other in laughter like old friends and new lovers, the tune melting away their woes and apprehensions.

The wedding had been called off just moments ago. I couldn't even find myself looking at you... at the way you glossed your eyes over while talking amongst all your family and close friends; almost as if you've expected them to believe I'd just broken your heart while calling off the biggest day of my young life.
