The Day Everything Changed
I missed the last bus on purpose. Not because I wanted to be stranded, but because I couldn’t face going home. That day had been one long unraveling—work mistakes, a call from my sister about our mother’s health, the kind of exhaustion that lives in your bones.

For over fifteen years, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been the gold standard for shared cinematic storytelling. What began as a risky experiment with Iron Man (2008) grew into a sprawling, interconnected franchise that redefined what blockbuster filmmaking could be.

Everyone Is a Suspect. AI-Generated.
I’ve always been drawn to stories where the danger isn’t lurking in the shadows—but sitting right next to you. Small towns. Isolated groups. Smiling faces with secrets tucked just beneath the surface. Give me a setting where no one can leave, and I’m already locked in.
