Comparison Stories

Everything in young Lord Rivien's life is as precise as the sweep of his sword. It has to be: with a dead princess for a mother, an absentee general for a father, and a nursemaid peddling dangerous fairytales to his siblings, precision is the only tool he has to keep his family in order. No matter if it hurts them in the short term. It's the only way to protect them. But when a passionate, poetry-tongued girl invades his dreams and begs him to save her from the monsters hunting her, he'll find himself far from order and even farther from his family. Whatever it takes to get back, he'll do. He'll cast any spell, cut through any monster, spill any blood -- no matter how much that cold determination scares the girl he came to rescue. But if he's not careful, he'll find the most dangerous monsters aren't the ones he can cut through. _______________________ Cover © 2026 Avadel Ink Updates Mondays & Fridays

Stories of Our House Marriage brought them into the same home. Love was never part of the agreement.

What happens when you experience something that brings into question all you know about the world in which you live? Something that eats away at the already-frayed notions many of us have about what is true and what is not true? About what is possible and what is impossible? For Alice Caitlyn (Kate Johnson what was), the past year already had delivered a healthy dose of body blows. One would have thought a chance encounter with a handsome schoolmate from years gone by would have augured well for things to come. But when was Fate ever so easy or so generous? This is a story about the world in which we live and how we come to know it and to understand it. It's a story about chance and circumstance, one that might even be a little funny. (But let's not get too carried away on that note.) Most important, it's a story about friendship and love, those two states the absence of which make life and its vagaries scarce worth pondering.

What happens when your dreams become reminders of everything you couldn't become? ​Failure is a poem for the weary, the overthinkers, and the ones who live in the "almost." It's a candid look at disappointment, comparison, and the stubborn, terrifying spark of hope that refuses to die even when you want it to. To the younger version of me who believed life would eventually make sense: I'm sorry. Failure captures the quiet grief of growing up and feeling like doors are softly closing behind you. It is an anthem for the tired souls who are close enough to see the life they wanted, but can't quite touch it-and the beautiful, painful courage it takes to think about trying one more time.

Human Yet Divine is a collection of short, luminous poems born from the belief that every human being carries both earthly fragility and sacred light. Inspired by the the first poem in the collection "Your Beauty Is Human Yet Divine," these verses speak gently from the heart, exploring true love, beauty, justice, and spiritual awakening through quiet knowing rather than doctrine. Each poem is intentionally brief, written as a moment of gnosis-a remembering of truths that are often felt but rarely spoken. Drawing from spiritual, gnostic, and ancestral wisdom, the collection reflects on compassion, true goodness, and the sacred responsibility we share toward one another as members of one human family. These poems do not divide, exclude, or elevate one soul above another. Instead, they affirm that humanity is ancient, interconnected, and bound by shared dignity across all nations, cultures, and times. Through tenderness rather than force, Human Yet Divine invites readers to awaken to justice, to choose love over indifference, and to remember the light within themselves and others-here on Earth.
