Claustrophobic Stories

Quinn Stories is ongoing fiction rooted in lived detail. Quinn, a former high-performing salesman and failed musician, tries to rebuild his life through the only doors that still open: old friendships, questionable opportunities, and the hope that music can rewrite the past. In "A Cross Country Voicemail, Winter 1996," a cross-country drive delivers him to a narrow house in Connecticut where welcome comes with rules, and intimacy comes with terms. The band reunion he's been promised begins to feel like something else: a negotiation, a performance, a trap that tightens through small, deniable acts. Quinn wants to trust. He wants to belong. But in a duplex with thin walls and thick boundaries, belonging has a price.

Starflight awakes stuck inside the tunnel that they use to get across, and to save the Rainwings and Nightwings. He attempts to escape, as his mind begins to slowly fly away from him.

Knowledge is currency. Alchemy is knowledge. Most people don't know it exists. Those who do call it heresy. Those who practice it call it ascension. Man wakes in the lightless depths of Tauran City Prison with no records, no past-only a vocabulary that doesn't belong to him. In a facility built to process human bodies, ignorance is a death sentence. To survive, he bonds with a parasitic alchemical metal: a weapon that grows stronger with blood, memory, and use. But power always comes at a price he doesn't yet understand. Guided by a man who knows too much and a girl who should not have survived this long, he descends through a system where alchemy is graded, identities fracture, and nothing is free. You are not a prisoner. You are a specimen. And ascension has already begun.

In the wake of a single, bloody night that stole her childhood, Gwen's world is reduced to two absolute truths: the enduring love for her younger sister, and a vow of vengeance etched in ash and memory. Haunted by the enigmatic shadow of a woman known as ash-the stranger who slipped a blade into her hand and vanished-Gwen must forge herself into a weapon. As she navigates a ravaged, secretive landscape where ordinary lives are meticulously secluded from hidden perils, her quest for answers becomes a journey into the heart of a profound darkness. This is a story of trauma forged into resilience, of myth born from survival, and the relentless pursuit of justice in a world where the line between protector and predator is as thin as the edge of a knife. A literary dark fantasy that explores the weight of memory, the legacy of violence, and the fierce, unbreakable bonds that define us.
