Johnny on the Spot (But I’m the One Who Saw It Coming)
I’m the kind of woman who doesn’t fade into the wallpaper. I’m no dangerous siren with a vial of venom tucked into my handbag or scandal stitched into my stockings. But I do carry a certain gravity. The kind that shifts the air when I walk in. The kind that feels a storm brewing long before the first thunderclap.

Perhaps Death Is the Collapse of Our Illusion of Being the Center
In a philosophy class, a student asked, “Is death the end of life?” The professor paused. “Before you answer,” he said, “remember this: the universe was moving before you arrived—and it will continue long after you leave.”

A Christmas Carol
I was going through some old documents I had when I came across this. I wrote it for somebody I cared about a few years ago. She loved the Christmas Carol Story but brought up that she wished things turned out better for Scrooge and Belle. So I wrote an ending that met that criteria. This person isn't around anymore so instead of this collecting dust I figured you could have it. Hope you enjoy!

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Review – Small Stakes, Strong Impact
As one of the most celebrated fantasy universes ever created, A Song of Ice and Fire continues to command a loyal global audience. After diving deep into Targaryen history with House of the Dragon, the franchise now pivots to something more intimate. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms trades dragons and dynastic wars for a grounded, character-driven journey—and the result is surprisingly refreshing.

What Came First, Chicken Or Egg
What Came First What came first, the chicken or the egg? It is an old question, worn smooth by centuries of mouths repeating it, yet it still sits in the hand like a stone you cannot throw away. I have carried it with me since childhood. It followed me through fields, through classrooms, through quiet kitchens where steam rose from cups and the clock ticked like a patient witness.

The Potty Stick
Elijah woke up before the sun, which was strange, because Eli was only two and usually only woke up when something loud or bright or sticky told him to. But this morning his eyes popped open all by themselves. His room was still dark-blue and soft, with Super Mario everywhere. There was a poster of Mario jumping on the wall, little Mario's racing on his blanket, and even a Mario smiling from the nightlight like a tiny glowing coin. Nothing about his room looked different... but something felt different.

Menthe
Did I deserve it? The punishment? Perhaps. But the reputation? Absolutely not. It’s too neat, too pat. Show me a storyteller who glides easily over an important part of the story, and I’ll show you a person who didn’t bother to investigate any further than their tiny mind can fathom.
