The Vacation. Top Story - January 2024. Content Warning.
No one liked him. He was one of those people who grated on everyone’s nerves, who thought he was hilarious, whose presence at a party everyone dreaded because he would get too drunk and demand being the centre of attention.

Bryolic. Runner-Up in the Neolomicro Challenge. Top Story - November 2023.
The forest is never silent, even at dusk. Leaves rustle, peepers sing in the distance, the creek trickles peacefully. The sounds, though, are dampened by the thick moss that coats the forest. It has spread like a blanket, like a virus, across the trees and the rocks and the earth.

Chance Meeting
It’s been a long time. I stare at the man before me, trying to think of what to say—what I could say, what I want to say, what I should say. But the only thing that escapes my mouth is a whisper of breath. He seems to be at a loss too, but he raises his hand in a tentative greeting.

Starlight
The mountain air is cool, and dusk is settling in. The late fall sun has set.

A few leaves still cling determinedly to the trees, but they are in the minority.
