4. Doomsday
The aliens were finally leaving. Two years and two months too late. When they first landed their giant reflective mansions – and yes, I mean the fee-fi-fo-fum kind – mankind tried to communicate. When that didn’t work, we used violence. We hardly scratched them, and they didn’t seem to take notice. They ignored us and…

3. Wrapped in Fog
As she exhaled, the smoke curled around her sophisticated lips to join the cloud gathering above her head. The low ceiling pressed the smoke back down to create a veil of fumes that spun and thinned each time another actor passed through the room. She tilted her head and raised a thin eyebrow at her…

2025 Works in Progress
This week, I spent my free time playing “Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2,” but when I am not doing that, I am making progress on my writing goals. It has felt like a slow start to the year for my writing. January seemed a month and a half long, and I think I caught a wave…

The 3 Best Parts of Graphic Novels
I love graphic novels. Comic books are just another one of those nerdy things that have become more mainstream with the expansion of independant publishers and the wider circulation of Manga and Anime. Graphic Novels hit different. The visuals and color tell a story in a way that books and television can’t. The still frames…
