Driven Stories

In a world divided by fire and philosophy, two civilisations have mastered the art of cooking - but never spoken the same language. In the East, Food Adepts cultivate inner energy through knife, flame, and breath. A perfectly sliced cut can heal a wound. A broth simmered for three days can break a man's curse. In the West, Culinamancers weave culinary magic through ritual, emotion, and forbidden ingredients. One wrong pinch of spice can collapse an empire. They have coexisted in silence. Until a young chef from the Eastern borderlands stumbles into a Western culinary tournament - and wins using techniques nobody in the West has ever seen. Now both worlds want him. Some to learn from him. Some to destroy him. Every dish is a battle. Every flame tells a story. Every bite changes the world. - Ocean Fung

"If you're looking for a perfect love story, you've picked up the wrong book. If you're looking for perfect people, you won't find them here.

Some stories are about finding the love of your life. This one is about finding the people who help you survive it. Because sometimes... the greatest family you'll ever have is the one that chooses you. With love, B. ♡ PS. Updates weekly

Driven to the edge of nowhere By james a. galgano Without malice or criminal intent eyes follow shadows heaven sent Into everlasting abyss because passion resides within eternal bliss Lost without reason what answer would ever really suffice. To explain why we await in gambling hall of hope for landing of dice. Upon well worn table where dreams well endowed come into view Measuring each gain and loss as if it were directions down endless avenue. In search of some hope destination where without hope we never arrive Forever in the worn backseat of life peering deep into mirrors rear view Where images so often look larger as our appetite so often come unglued That we are unable to remain seated as we pass where we long to be. Yet are left forever prisoner in the backseat of someone else's unplanned destiny.
