The Monsters We Can't Escape
Fear is a peculiar thing—it thrives in the shadows, growing stronger in solitude. When left alone with our thoughts, we begin to see things that may or may not exist. The image of a young girl curled up in the corner of a deteriorating room, surrounded by ominous figures, is a chilling representation of this concept. It is a scene that speaks to the very nature of fear, the kind that tightens around us when we feel most vulnerable.

Suicide Prevention Workshop
We hope to have a small booklet full of prevention material. It is about prevention after all. I have attended many workshops in my lifetime and have not read much after the workshops that were given as handouts. Now I have to go through many of those handouts and recycle them.

Two Lies and a Truth
I once invited a new friend over to play board games with a small group of friends over the upcoming weekend. He was reaching out regularly to hang out and I figured it would be a good way to get to know him better and introduce him to others so that they could get to know him as well. He accepted the invite and I gave him the details for what, when, and where.

When the Walls Shattered
The Metamorphosis of the Mind It began with a hairline fracture—a slender thread of imperfection in the barricade I’d constructed to keep the world at arm’s length. At first, I mistook it for nothing. Life’s cacophony drowned out such subtleties: the relentless ping of notifications, the metallic tang of stress lingering on my tongue, the way time compressed itself into obligations. But fractures have a way of asserting themselves. By millimeters, the crevice expanded until one unremarkable Tuesday morning, it ruptured entirely. What spilled through wasn’t chaos, but truth—sharp-edged and unapologetic.

Chapter XVII: The Sovereign of Shadows
The wind shrieked, calling me through the hollow arches of my empire, and shared the whispers of those from which I had long departed. They did not capitulate, they did not bend the knee—those stubborn flames in their unyielding commitment who were steadfast in grisly devotion to my cause even while I drifted into infinite nothingness. I stand now before the stripped down bones of my empire, their magnificence reduced to chambers of resonating echo and thrones of dust. *Why have I returned?* The question coils in my heart like the serpent of eternal regret. Perhaps it is the burden of promises I once scarred into the flesh of memory now bleeding through the cracks of time. Or perhaps it is the truth that solitude, even from this frayed kingdom, is a reprieve from the honeyed mumble of humankind. Humanity—how shameless a pantomime! They murmur constantly of virtues they loathe, and in the very next breath, dive into the sins of their own disdain. Their laugh, a knife—that roasts, and their kindness, a mask stuck to rotten flesh. I have tasted their "compassion," a goblet of vinegar, and spit it back into oblivion. They are the architects of their own suffering, bringing offerings of opinions about the innocence of gutting like lambs to a slaughterhouse. Weakness masquerades as strength in their world—a monstrous breeding from the bones of gentle chitterers.

The Mirror Within
Some nights, the walls forget their shape. I sit at my desk, fingers hovering above the keys, while the room folds like a crumpled sheet of paper. Outside, the goats scream—though I’ve lived here long enough to know it’s just their language, coarse and unashamed. Inside, the frogs from the lake chant an offbeat rhythm, croaking my name backwards.

What is this feeling?
There comes a moment where you have an epiphany that makes it feel like you were hit by a strong wind or in my case a bus. I went to therapy before in college and I remembered feel ecstatic. Unfortunately, I went very late as I was on course of graduating within three months. I thought surely I'd be fine and no longer need therapy...That was summer 2016 and I was twenty-one.

If You Were in This French Town in 1951, You Might Have Lost Your Mind
August 1951 was supposed to be like any other month in Pont-Saint-Esprit. Then the screaming started. People stumbled through the streets, their minds unraveling before terrified onlookers. A man leaped from a second-story window, convinced he could fly. Another cried that his stomach was full of snakes. Others collapsed, trembling, lost in horrifying hallucinations. Doctors scrambled to make sense of it. By the time it was over, seven were dead, and hundreds were left physically and mentally scarred.

Echoes of Yesterday. AI-Generated.
The first time it happened, Daniel dismissed it as nothing. A passing sound—an old music box tune—floating in the air as he walked past a bookstore. He barely noticed it, yet something about it made his chest tighten, like a memory just out of reach. He paused, listening, but the sound was gone. Just a figment of his imagination.
