Isolated Stories

Tonfah, a fox hybrid, has spent four years in self-imposed isolation, hiding from family expectations in a cabin deep in the winter forest. He's convinced himself that solitude is freedom-until he discovers a man nearly frozen to death by the river. Typhoon wakes with no memory except his name. As a brutal winter traps them together, the quiet fox who fled from connection finds himself unable to stay away from the mysterious stranger he saved. What begins as reluctant caretaking becomes companionship, then friendship, then something neither can deny.

In a house defined by order, Jaz has learned to survive by staying small. Homeschooled and carefully monitored by a father who calls his vigilance protection, she moves through her days according to schedule, each rule meant to keep her safe from a world he believes is waiting to harm her. Her brothers see something different. They see isolation. They see fear disguised as love. And when they try to widen her world, one afternoon unravels into panic, confirming their father's darkest suspicions and fracturing the fragile balance inside the home. As long-buried history begins to surface, it becomes clear that Andrew is not only protecting his daughter, but he is protecting himself from a grief he never survived. And Jaz, caught between safety and suffocation, must confront a truth that threatens to dismantle everything he has built: She is not a second chance. She is not a replacement. She is not his past. She is herself. A quiet, piercing portrait of generational trauma, control born from love, and the difficult work of untangling fear from devotion, this novel asks what it means to protect someone, and when protection becomes its own kind of harm.

A collection of poems that I have written through the past few years.

She squeals, her face almost flat against the window as she stares at the bypassing view in awe. "Damon look look look!! It's gorgeous!" She points at the waves crashing against the rocks. Her eyes sparkle with curiosity and excitement. "I've never seen something this beautiful before..." she whispered in a tone that was a mix of sadness and happiness. "That didn't hurt my feelings at all." I joke to try and lighten up her mood. "I meant besides you." She looks back at me with a playful smirk. "That's what I thought." The car filled with the scent of the warm sea breeze as she rolled the window down to stick her head out. "Damon, listen..." I could see her close her eyes in the side mirror, her long hair blown back by the wind as she heard the waves crash onto shore. "The water keeps coming back after it's pushed away...." Just like her... I carefully checked the mirrors to make sure she was okay. I didn't have the heart to tell her to sit back down. "Can we go to the beach? Please?" She turns around and politely asks me while repeatedly tapping my arm. "We're so close, just a quick walk!" Her adorable excitement was hard to resist. But her safety comes first, always. .....

It's 2095, everything was as it should be. Children playing and laughing, adults talking over a glass of wine and dinner... and the occasional dive into the internet. In the small town of Xekona, people went outside, they went on walks. They weren't addicted to their devices. One day the government makes an important announcement, as per usual, nobody thinks anything of it. The next day comes around and an average school girl had woken up from her sleep, as she left for school, she noticed something different in people. The way that they were walking, talking, acting... and the way that they all had a phone in their hands, held up to their faces. This was quite a rare sight, perhaps something big had happened? She tried asking multiple people but they all answered the same way, "We will make the world a better place." That's not normal. She knew it wasn't normal but she ignored it.
