Look, I am not sure how to explain what I saw, but I am going to try. This morning, while I was waiting for my bus to show, I was miserable. I had a final in less than an hour, and I felt completely unprepared for it. I had gotten little sleep that night, all …

And Now I’m Dead
I never thought this is how I would die. I know. What a way to start a story, right? But it’s true; I never would have guessed my life would end this way. I thought maybe I would die of old age, or perhaps I would die in a car accident or, heck, maybe I …
The Island & The Daughter of Doctor Moreau
I recently read both “The Daughter of Doctor Moreau” by Silvia Moreno-Garcia and “The Island of Doctor Moreau” by H. G. Wells. While the former is only loosely based on the latter, I thought it would be fun to compare and contrast the two, since I thoroughly enjoyed both for different reasons. Both stories tell …
The Facility
From the day I moved in, something hadn’t sat right with me about my new neighborhood. Everything just felt a little… off. To backtrack just a tiny bit, I had recently moved into my new apartment. I would say this was about three months ago now. When I toured the unit, everything was great. Our …

Before I start, I want to let you know, listener, that I understand how stupid I am going to sound to you. I admit, this wasn’t one of my best moments, but you’ll understand, hopefully, why I did it. Why I followed him. I mean, it had been just like any normal day. I was …
Crazy Ex: Finale
“Son, I was askin’ you how you know this young lady?” His voice was gravelly, but it comforted me just a bit. “She was… uh… she is my girlfriend—” I trailed off at that last word. Was she? Or was she keeping secrets from me. I wasn’t mad, just worried about her. I had no …
Crazy Ex: Part One
All my life, I’ve been told to be safe on the internet. My parents had always been wary of social media, and as a result, so was I. I tried to remain as anonymous as possible on any social website that I used. I never used my real name, and I didn’t really use them …
My Unannounced Hiatus
Hello all! I wanted to take a moment to let you guys know where I’ve been lately. Like everyone else, COVID has impacted my current situation. I teach full-time, so my plate is full dealing with students, both virtual and in-person. Also, I am in grad school right now! I was accepted to a fantastic …
My Thoughts on Pet Sematary
I recently finished reading “Pet Sematary” by Stephen King, with an introduction by the author himself. Below I will share my thoughts post-completion, meaning this isn’t exactly a “book review” in a sense. It is more of a reflection piece, as the book definitely made me reflect on a ton of things in my own …
