Hey, I write stuff. Some might even call me a poet.

I wish I could know what some writers actually wrote and said; translations tend to leave a lot unarticulated

“Scene XII” of the Fragile Masque of Sanity is done! As one of the more experimental chapters in the novella, I wanted to explore alterations of consciousness and concepts of disassociation. Hopefully this chapter did those themes justice!
The second half is in the comments~

“Scene XI” of The Fragile Masque of Sanity is done! Thank you for your patience as I wrote this one, it was strangely difficult :/
Act Two returns to events alluded to earlier in the story. Perhaps now we will learn more about Jean (John) and the enigmatic East End Murderer?

“Scene X” of The Fragile Masque of Sanity is officially finished! While initially included in an earlier post, the re-edited version deserves to exist in isolation ~<3

Hey, sorry about the two month absence. Depression is a bitch, but she is also MY bitch, so… at least I can use it semi-productively?

Hey. So, I wrote this a few years ago, and it feels a bit more relevant now

Here is a (rough) translation of Chapter Eight’s French portion in English. It was a hassle trying to fit the translation into the Oulipo style I used throughout the main text (an intentional lipographic constraint; not using the lowercase letters “g,” “p,” or “q”). I hope you enjoy it!

Part Three of “Metamorphosis” is up! I actually finished this chapter a while back, but held off posting it because I was unsure of how I felt about it. More of an “Interlude” than a chapter proper (as it takes place outside the chronology of the main story), I nevertheless hope you enjoy it!

Chapter Eight (Part One) of “The Fragile Masque of Sanity” is up! I hope you brushed up on your French (or are good at understanding cognates)! I will provide an English translation soon; this is probably the most experimental chapter/piece of writing I’ve ever done, so I hope you enjoy it! 🖤

Chapter VII of “The Fragile Masque of Sanity” is up! This is the penultimate chapter before Act I ends, so I tried to combine everything you most seemed to enjoy from the previous six into this one! This is my favorite chapter, personally. I hope you agree! 🖤

Chapter Six of “The Fragile Masque of Sanity” is another shorter piece—serving as a kind of interlude/prelude to the heart of darkness. While it is less action-packed than the chapter before and after it, I once again hope you enjoy my poetic flourishes.
