    October Signature Feature: Topher Lydon's Reunion

    By Cia

    It is said that at the end of this month the veil thins and a reunion of sorts can happen between souls and those they leave behind. What about reunions of a different sort and people that get left behind in our lives? Can those reconnections be made again?  Length:  3,756 Description: Two best friends. Ten years of lies. One reunion that changes everything. Kyle and Nile have spent a decade pretending they're fine—pretending they're successful, pretending their marriages weren't

June Signature Feature: Stranger at the Grave by Parker Owens

A short read for a long month! This will give you more time to make those connections count.  Length: 4,430 Description: A sad visit to a new grave; an unknown mourner. What does it mean? A reader said: Stranger at the Grave is a poignant short story centering around themes of familial neglect and the consequent loss. It gives us pause to consider what is truly important in life and why it is that we seem so absorbed in the trivia of career over family.  ~Doha   If

In the Quiet After, a poem dedicated to two police officer who died in the line of duty on June 9 and 11, 2026

In the Quiet After After the sirens fade, A heavy silence fills the air, For those who stood when duty called And gave a life of courage there. There was no promise of return, Only the weight of what must be done, Stepping forward at the hardest hour While others turned away to run. Now their badges rest, and flags are still, Their names are spoken soft and clear, Not only carved in grief and stone, Remembered now and coming years. Their homes now are foreve

Why Write Short Stories?

I love reading short stories.  Well-written short stories pack a punch and make the reader think.  I still remember reading stories like The Lottery and Flowers for Algernon in school.  I won't say how long ago that was...   I also love writing short stories.  For me, they're an experiment.  Sometimes it's a thought experiment - I wonder what would happen if.... Sometimes it's a form experiment.  Writing in third person vs first person or writing a story without dialogue. @Libby Drew wrote a won

Geeking Out on Weightlifting

I've been faithfully working out and using a new program for about four months now. This program is from the "Average to Jacked" guy on YouTube (look him up - he's pleasant to look at). And I can boil down his entire mindset/training principle to two words: Progressive Overload. In this program, Progressive Overload is integral to the body's adaptation. If you always lift the same amount of weight the same amount of time, you won't progress. But if you push just a little more every time, yo

Update on the story development aka WL's research notes

This story is weird...not sure in a good or bad way. The premise is simple- It's a Deuteragonist plot.  My first protagonist is Prince Zhu Cilang, the last crown prince of the Ming Dynasty (1629-1644), he mysteriously disappeared after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, most likely murdered by either rebel troops or under the orders of Manchurian (invading Qing forces), who had occupied Beijing. He's a fascinating figure in Chinese history akin to the legendary French Dauphin of Louis
