Currently in the worst reading slump of my life so far. Recommendations appreciated. Don't even care what genre.

I find it hilarious that my discord sets my status to "Playing Scrivener" when I'm writing. With a timer and everything.

The High School – Demon Hunter #2
Screeches and moans echoed through the long, dark hallways of Bedford High School. Jessie brushed off her dark jeans. She had to climb in through a window at the back of the school left open by her friend Amanda. Jessie’s services weren’t exactly approved by school officials. Amanda, desperate to keep the school from closing, collected funds from other teachers and begged Jessie to take on the task.

Finding Time for Health
It’s a new year and, like so many others, I made it a goal to get healthier and become more active. This is a difficult goal to achieve because most of my hobbies are sedentary. Reading, video games, watching TV, writing. All of these things are done while sitting. It is not healthy to be sitting for the majority of the day.

Intro to Paranormal History

Have you found yourself wondering where all of the horror tropes, monsters, and stories come from? Like where did George Romero get the idea for zombies? Where did the belief in demons and possessions come from? What about vampires, werewolves, cryptids? Why do our…
Intro to Paranormal History

Where did the belief in demons and possessions come from? What about vampires, werewolves, cryptids? Why do our brains go to something otherworldly when something makes a noise in the dark? Once a month, I will be deep diving into some aspect of horror or the supernatural.

Captured

Life on the International Space Station wasn’t always exciting. We would go days without anything new. The stars remained relatively the same. Asteroids and comets would come in clusters and leave within a matter of hours, leaving us the only object for miles. The moon colonization…

Life on the International Space Station wasn’t always exciting. We would go days without anything new. The stars remained relatively the same. Asteroids and comets would come in clusters and leave within a matter of hours, leaving us the only object for miles. The moon colonization project had been canceled so we were the only life forms orbiting the lonely planet below.

The Midwinter Blues

Anyone who knows me is aware I do not like winter. I don't like to be cold. I can't sleep, have know energy, and just generally can't get myself to function as a normal human. Then there's the daylight, or lack of it. As soon as the sun sets, my brain tells me the day is over…

Meadow Lake Gazette, Issue 4 January 1992 Happy New Year readers! It has been a few months since my last issue but something has been brought to my attention. Lately, local children have been playing out at the abandoned mine on the east side of town. I recommend extreme caution. The mines that were the original income for this town have been abandoned for a reason.
