Mystery

Captain Blackthorn
Henry Ashcroft had always been drawn to the quiet sanctuaries of history, where stories whispered through the cracks of time. On a rainy evening in his family’s sprawling estate, he found himself seated at an oak desk in their ancient library. The air smelled of leather and damp parchment, and the flickering candlelight cast dancing shadows across the shelves.

Shadows and Light
The garbage I watch, deep into the night. The dark knight, bursts into the light. Incapable might, losing sight. Hope is to put a fight, but we're lost in pride. Deluded insights, a wounded kind.

The Conduit: Chapter 3
Max finished his call to report on the mysterious yacht found adrift. The Starry Night was found on anything but, and he was concerned by the timing of its appearance. The security team was going over it with a microscope, looking for any reason to cast it back to the sea before the arrival of their first detainee. So far, they hadn’t found anything more than the craft being mysteriously empty.

Before It Ends. Top Story - February 2025. Content Warning.
I sat there for several moments trying to process everything that Aunt Mina had said. A curse put on the family by my Aunt Renee? This "shadow" that would try to drag my mom under the bed? It definitely sounded like something that could be induced by too much drinking. Maybe Aunt Mina was right? Maybe it was just my mom freaking out over old memories and hallucinations brought on by drinking too much? But... when mom was screaming and freaking out at me... she was sober. She hadn't drank any alcohol that night before bed... something was not adding up.

To reveal remarkable talent 1
Upon entering my abode, I heaved a profound sigh of relief. After engaging in that exchange of elaborate courtesies for quite a while, I was, in truth, utterly devoid of confidence. Had the other party truly chosen not to show me any deference, I would have been at a complete loss. Fortunately, that wolf demon was rather courteous, and, much to my astonishment, I managed to retrieve Williams without a hitch.

Chapter 3: Let There be Fog
My sheathed right hand rests heavy upon the rough iron handle of the tavern door. A shadow passes in front of my eyes. In front of or internally? Suddenly I’m tired, contemplating heading back & crawling into bed.
