I did this to myself (a poem) Hesitation wrapped its bony fingers around my throat, barring the offense crawling its way to my tongue. Doubt wove a web over my spite, and for a moment, those words made me believe them. After all… I desperately wanted to believe them. The part of me that wanted … Continue reading I did this to myself (a poem, 2017)

Hollow Face of Straw (dream / a poem, 2018)
Hollow Face of Straw (dream / a poem) We burned it all, the golden straw, A city of wicker and flame. All men they fell down to the earth, Ash having lost its name. ~ With a lone curse descended, His toes turned claw and fin. A life ashore is ended, Amongst the murk therein. … Continue reading Hollow Face of Straw (dream / a poem, 2018)
Unrequited (a poem)
Unrequited (a poem) My heart is always aching, Yearning for you. Why do you keep me in jealousy? Why do you hurt me? When I crave you, More than anything. Cherish you, More than anything. Your happiness means everything. I would stand aside, I would rather you smile. Don’t look at me with those eyes. … Continue reading Unrequited (a poem)
Losing (a poem)
Losing (a poem) This old, tired crisis. Staring in the face, The death of a necessary part of me. As the light leaves the eyes, The feelings slip through my hands. I fall out of love, This old, tired decision. Kill the rest of the tiny, innocent emotions, Bury them away. This world spares no … Continue reading Losing (a poem)
Vessels of Veyrath: Ch.0 – Butter Knife (pilot / a short story, 2017)

The Island (a short story, 2017)
The Island (a short story) “Excuse me, Ma’am?” Behind the large desk at the other end of the room, leafing through an intimidatingly large pile of reports and other assorted sheets on a holodeck, was a stiff-looking woman in her early forties. She wore a rather extravagant Armani pant-suit, with her long brownish-gold hair tied … Continue reading The Island (a short story, 2017)
Black Mantle (a short story, 2018)
Black Mantle (a short story) Tristan ran his fingertips over her legs once more, his touch lingering as he savored the texture of Elizabeth’s skin. She hadn’t been able to shave the past two days, so it wasn’t quite smooth, but it wasn’t so bristly that it turned him away from the sensation. More enticing … Continue reading Black Mantle (a short story, 2018)
You Won’t Need This (a short story, 2017)
You Won't Need This (a short story) The air in the blue-block waxed thicker with the scent of serenity. The heaviness of it was almost suffocating. My hands busily scrawled away at a leaf of parchment, using a strange carbon-tool I’d found some time ago. There was something eating at me. Sleeping underneath the mist … Continue reading You Won’t Need This (a short story, 2017)
The Trevor James Case Files: Interview #1 (a short story, 2018)
The Trevor James Case Files: Interview #1 (a short story) “Is it on? Is the microphone working?” Standing behind the tripod, Derrick silently sent back a thumbs up. The awkwardly large black headset made the young man’s intrinsic strangeness all the more prevalent. Derrick removed his left headphone to hear both the audio feed and … Continue reading The Trevor James Case Files: Interview #1 (a short story, 2018)
