A miscellaneous collection of short stories.

A kobold, space marine and steampunk pirate walks into a bar...

Bartholomew "Bart" Thatcher's tavern has survived five years of interdimensional war when buildings twice its size were reduced to rubble. The clock keeps perfect time, the drinks still bstilpatron's throats, and "last call" remains a negotiable concept.

When three battle-worn soldiers from opposing factions arrive one night (a fire-breathing kobold, a space marine and a steampunk privateer), they bring news that make Bart reconsider closing for the night.

Not that anything matter much when reality itself is tearing apart at the seams.

As Bart serves drinks to former enemies, their shared stories reveal the cosmic joke of their five-year conflict. But when they step outside to a world where nothing worth fighting for remains, only one question lingers:

Who won?

Does it even matter?

A slice-of-life tale set in a bar at the end of everything, where the drinks are strong, the company is strange, and the counter is always clean. Clean-adjacent. Not dirty.

Follows a college student struggling with a newfound drinking problem who has befriended a ghost in the local tavern bathroom.

This is a short piece I wrote for school as a freewriting exercise.

In the heart of San Remigio, where rolling hills meet sun-kissed orchards, twelve-year-old Lila finds solace and adventure amidst her grandmother's sprawling peach farm. The annual harvest brings more than just sweet fruit; it brings Rafael, a traveler with kind eyes and a warm smile, into her life. As their bond deepens, whispers of strange occurrences in the surrounding hills begin to surface, stirring old tales of restless spirits and guardians of the land. When a mysterious figure emerges from the shadows, threatening the peace of the orchard, Lila and Rafael must confront the secrets hidden within the ancient trees. Their love, tested by fear and uncertainty, becomes intertwined with the fate of the orchard, leading them on a path of discovery, danger, and the unveiling of a magic far deeper than they ever imagined.

Lumi has always been different—her eyes shimmer like rippling water, shifting shades of green and gold, and animals seem to understand her in ways no one else can. But when she rescues an unusual frog from a storm, strange visions begin to haunt her dreams. A woman with eyes like hers calls out from beneath a moonlit lake, whispering secrets of a lost lineage and a forgotten past.

As Lumi unravels the mystery of her origins, she discovers a truth more magical—and more dangerous—than she ever imagined. Hunted by shadows from a world she never knew existed, she must embrace the power within her before it's too late.

But will she be strong enough to stand against the forces that once destroyed her people?

A beautifully melancholic tale of self-discovery, ancient magic, and the bond between girl and creature, The Girl with Frog Eyeswill enchant readers who love mystery, folklore, and a touch of the extraordinary.

Maribelle was unlike any other girl in Everfrost Hollow. Found as an infant in a patch of ever-blooming strawberries, she grew up untouched by time, her presence a mystery wrapped in the sweetness of sun-kissed fruit. Where she walked, vines flourished, and the scent of summer never faded. But as whispers of her unnatural existence spread, so did a strange, unshakable feeling—something ancient was stirring beneath the soil, something that had waited for her arrival. When the first omen appears, Maribelle must uncover the truth of her origins before the land itself claims her. A tale of quiet magic, destiny, and the bittersweet taste of belonging, The Strawberry Girlis a fantasy woven with mystery and the soft pull of something just beyond reach.

*I'm doing something I call “break away stories” where one story is told out of order but can be read however. More so a “perspective” approach.

No matter how small a story is, it always carries weight within us.  A weight only we can find the strength to carry.

Update (6/4/25): I'm back from hiatus, kinda.  I've decided to use this for practice like I once did, and make an idea I've had come to light.

I'm currently working on my own passion project outside of this.  I won't say much, but I'll leave you a clue.

Obituary.
