The places, events and time period of these events are also not in line with actual history and some places mentioned do not exist. This story is not intended to address Soviet Russia or any political concerns related to the region. It's very superficial in its relation to the culture and language. I wanted to have as much creative liberty as possible and create my OWN take on historical events through the realm of fantasy. Also, I am not from Russia, and my knowledge on their culture and language is superficial at best so you should really go to a more reputable source if you want to learn more about the interesting history of the people. To learn more about this fascinating historical figure, please do your research! Reality is sometimes even more intriguing than fiction.

Eight ministry friends. One parish. One divine miracle. Eight diverse, chaotic, and wholesome close friends had long been serving in the ministry under the parish of St. Vincent Ferrer in their local municipality of Azalea. Being collectors and altar servers, each individual has their own set of responsibilities while being caringly yet strictly shepherded by the parish' Head Priest --of whom more than once had his patience tested. However, underneath the immaculate cassocks and surplices and veils, each friend bore a struggle of their own. And the main one among all was their faith --the question and quiet urge to doubt the Real Presence in the Eucharist. Amidst their silent battles and weaknesses, as well as moments where their friendship is tested, one late morning after an ordinary Mass, an unexpected event begins to unfold --one of which none of them can easily grasp nor explain. And that, the friends are left with only two possible questions: was it another scientific reaction between components as what others have been telling them? Or was it a whole prodigy --a divine reminder that there was more to a simple bread than just its appearance?

A collection of poems for my family members to read when I'm gone. I want you all to know how much love I have for you and how much of a beautiful place my mind could be. This is who I am at my core. I don't ever think I got to express that properly, but this is me unfiltered and raw.

In the Burg, you learned young: keep your head down, your guard up, and your faith close. I forgot that lesson for thirty years. Left Bridesburg after my mother's funeral - a phone call, a job in Poland, and I never looked back. Gdansk, London, Alaska, the Caribbean. I ran until there was nowhere left to run, then came home to retire in Ma's old house on the same red brick sidewalk where I grew up. But something's wrong with the neighbors. Pat and Putty never look tired. Tessie never sleeps in. At 2:47 AM, they stand outside in their pajamas like statues, faces tilted toward nothing. I'm sleeping ten hours a night and waking up like I've worked doubles. Because I have. When exhaustion finally drags me under, I don't dream. I wake - in the dark, in a pod, in a place that makes every factory floor I ever worked look like paradise. Thousands of us, lined up and twitching, generating the energy that keeps their world running. We're not people here. We're batteries. We've always been batteries. And the things wearing my neighbors' faces are the shift supervisors making sure we stay plugged in. They tell me I volunteered. That we all did, before the first sleep. They weren't expecting a stubborn Polish kid from St. John's Parish who still remembers the prayers his mother made him memorize before his voice changed. Turns out, I came home to finish what she started.

During the 13th century, an angel was sent to Earth in the form of a man with a sacred purpose. Unable to comprehend that foreign world, he was rejected and despised by those around him. Until, unexpectedly, he met Escarlet-a brave and compassionate woman who offered him her help. By her side, he began to understand what it means to be human and to discover the world that surrounded him. In time, a feeling was born within him-stronger than anything celestial-confronting him with an inner conflict: to fulfill the purpose for which he was created, or to renounce it and choose his own destiny beside her. Unbeknownst to him, an even greater trial awaited him...

Twins Luke and Kyle are two sides of a fractured coin, forged in the suffocating silence of their parents' rigid Catholic faith. Having long ago traded the divine for the tangible, they find their shared anchor in Vanessa. But as their admiration curdles into a dark, synchronized obsession, they fall victim to Folie à deux-a shared madness that blurs the line between devotion and delusion. Now, trapped in a reality of their own making, the brothers must navigate a world where the boundary between the holy and the horrific has finally snapped.

In the industrious, ever-vibrant kingdom of Valencia, settled amidst the bustle of trade and market, stood the university of Santo Domingo --home to one of the Church's prestigious orders: the Dominicans. The very place where study, preaching, contemplation, prayer, and community all shape the lives of every friar within its stone halls. However, among the immaculate habits, studious routines, and murmured prayers, three little boys --No. Three little friars (passionate, ever so chaotic, and full of wonder) are always on for an adventure in seeking truth and purpose. Even if it's through a crate of feathers or a leftover tart. In this collection of short tales, let us explore the little world of Cosmas, Matteo, and Gilius. Where the joy and chaos are at its peak, but the faith and meaning are at its deepest.

These are the stories of the angels. They are all different and they all have something to say.
