"Desire and Love"
Chapter 1: The House at the Edge of the Lake The house had always been a mystery. From a distance, it was a place of beauty—elegant and quiet, set against the calm of the lake, with windows that reflected the pale, dying light of the afternoon sun. But up close, it felt different, like it was hiding something beneath its peeling paint and ivy-covered walls. To Elena, it was as if the house breathed, each floorboard sighing, each door whispering secrets long forgotten.

Craven . Top Story - November 2024.
"The Raven" stands as Poe's deep, bottomless well of ruination, a testament to the bleak nature of existence and the crushing solitude of shadow. In this darkened realm, we find ourselves momentarily possessed by the accursed knowledge that our world is but a dream, confined within the confines of our skulls. Once the cork is pulled from this abyss, like the maelstrom in another of Poe’s tales, we are inevitably drawn into a cosmic shadow—the void of Self. This grim reality mirrors the cosmic black hole that will one day swallow the sun, hurling it into the depths of the infinite abyss, which is our death.

Mirror of the Unforgotten
The old antique shop stood at the end of a narrow, crooked alley, hidden among buildings that seemed to huddle together, their shadows overlapping in a maze of gray and rust. People rarely entered the shop; the items within held too much history, too many stories, and the air itself seemed heavy with secrets. Still, the shop owner—a tall, thin woman named Eleanor—never seemed to care if people bought her wares. Her shop had all the usual relics: dusty books, silver goblets, chipped figurines, but at the back, hidden from plain sight, stood her prized possession. It was an antique mirror, tall and ornate, with an elegant silver frame intricately carved with patterns that seemed to move in the dim light. And above all, it held a secret: this was the Mirror of the Unforgotten.
