This article outlines my stance on anything in life. I spent too much time bouncing around the horrible grey area. I fought, and I conquered, and I developed an outlook that my Self first, because that was the easiest thing to control. Life is too short to waste and chase. And being clear and up […]

Ghosts of Lovers Past
I know I usually write light-hearted or darkly humorous posts but this one is more about letting some emotions go. Perhaps part of my even more frenetic pacing for writing and typing up my stories recently is the fact that so many people I loved have died in the past few years. This year […]
Bouncing Up and Down
Life is full of ups and downs. Isn’t that what we hear often? In my experience the good and the bad tend to come together in such extensive ways that distinguishing them from one another seems nearly pointless. Over the course of a day, I will have received so much good news and bad news […]

The Cuil Multiverse is ever growing and the story of Lilith is nearly fully formed in my head already. Eventually, […]
