...And I'm Back!. Content Warning.
I missed this. I missed this site and this community and I really, really missed writing. My last post was 2 years ago. A lot has happened since then, personally and globally. I’m not an expert on the latter, but I can share with you parts of my story since I was last here.

You Don't See Me, But I See You
A fresh start, a new smile in an old place. It’s not my first time here, but first time seeing your face. Your uniform is new, ill-fitting and unstained.

Challenging Myself To Challenges
The empty page. The blinking insertion point. The pure, brilliant white void that stares deep into your soul, beckoning for your call. The sheer scope of possibilities, formats and genres can overload the brain until it implodes and is left as empty as the paper in front of you. Writers block can become, if you allow it, an insurmountable obstacle if not broken down.

The Video Game That Made Me Fall In Love With History & Conspiracy. Top Story - May 2024.

Gazebo Nights
Clearing dried tears with your left hand, you took a drag with the right. Cerulean smoke plumed from your lips, the smoke faded into night.
