A married man reaches out from a lonely hotel room to a family friend who has always trusted him. What begins as harmless reassurance deepens into late-night confessions, until one hypothetical changes everything: "If I were single..." Her reply lingers. So does the silence that follows. Will they ever cross the line? How far is too far?

Not all wars are loud. Some unfold in silence; within thoughts, within memories, within the spaces we never speak of. A Thousand Quiet Wars is a collection of poems that traces the unseen conflicts of existence: the tension between who we are and who we are expected to be, between what we feel and what we hide. Each piece holds a moment of resistance, a fracture, or a fleeting understanding, small battles that shape us in ways the world rarely notices. These poems do not seek resolution. ___________________________________________ They sit with the chaos, the quiet, and everything in between where the loudest wars are the ones no one hears. The poetry of my heart, a retry at my earlier and first collection. A retry at many things, many wars inside myself. The days have been hard. The days weren't ever hard before I feel, when I have to talk myself through every single smile and "happy" meal. A Poetry Collection of a thousand wars... a thousand deaths and a thousand times of trying again. I hope you give my poetry a try! ____________________________________________ The days have been wars lately, quite the time to die. The battles have left invisible scars, hurts me, as away I fly. The people are too happy these days, too much for me to survive a short hello, and a shorter goodbye. _____________________________________________ The Old Widow grieves the mystery of an unlived history. -From The Old Widow Memories have left lesions in their stead. -From Bane How can you ever find those eyes and eat away your bread? -From Lads of The Moors ______________________________________________

Before Innovia became what it is today, it was called Iravath, and it was Lysa's home. Growing up in Harenia, a coastal town in the empire of Adamania, when dragons still flew free in the skies and nested in the mountains of the hinterland, Lysa had the misfortune to be born during the age of the Conquest, when the gods were slain by powerful primordial demons who seized the continent of Iravath in their grip. Lysa doesn't believe in the gods, but she believes in their death, and that soon the entire continent will meet a similar fate. But what can she do alone to stem an immense evil? A simple human, in a land of entities that stand on top of each other's bodies, making the cult of mortals a game or a bargaining chip, has no hope of being able to change destiny. She has no powers, she doesn't know magic, and she barely knows how to hold a weapon in her hand. It'll be the encounter with one of the terrible primordial demons that will change her forever: Morthakar, the Scourge of Shadows, will make her an offer that, in the moment of the most desperate need, Lysa will not be able to refuse. But demons are mendacious creatures, and what may seem like a gift quickly becomes a heavy chain, that drags the soul of those who give in to their mellifluous words into oblivion. On her own, Lysa cannot even save herself. But new gods are being born from the prayers of mortals subjected to abuse, to sacrifices. And among them, perhaps the girl will find someone who'll finally be willing to help her not only to regain her freedom, but also to dispel the terror of primordial demons once and for all. [ This is a prequel to the main story "Tales of Innovia", but contains no major spoilers for the main plot. The two stories can be read in any order you like.]

Avery is a well-known plastic surgeon in Los Angeles who believes precision is control. At her Beverly Hills clinic, she performs expensive procedures for wealthy women, refining faces with exact results. Everything changes when she sees Celeste in a video online. Her beauty is striking-but not perfectly symmetrical. Avery begins to follow her on social media, quietly watching, collecting fragments of her life. Celeste is a well-known avant-garde artist, known for using her own body as a medium. At a gallery, Avery finally sees her in person-standing behind glass, drawing faces in condensation with her fingers. Avery becomes obsessed with Celeste's face. She tries to recreate it on her clients-but the changes don't hold. She arranges to meet Celeste. Their first encounter turns intimate. After that, something begins to shift. Avery notices subtle changes in her own face-and in the faces she has altered. The results no longer behave as expected. Instead of pulling away, she becomes more fixated-driven to possess what she sees, even as her control slips. Their connection deepens into something uneven, marked by influence, dependence, and control. And as more begins to surface, Avery is forced to consider a possibility she cannot explain: she may be the one being shaped. BECOME HER uses a cold, distinctive narrative voice to tell a story of beauty, desire, possession, control, and self-erasure. Through a psychological thriller lens, it presents a series of vivid, unsettling scenes, inviting readers to explore questions of personal existence and the meaning of self-denial. A psychological thriller of identity, control, and toxic intimacy- with the cold detachment of Ottessa Moshfegh and the visceral body horror of Mariana Enriquez.

This, decidedly, is a dumb idea for me to attempt. Am I still going to attempt it? Hell yeah. Welcome to my commentary as I write for ONC 2026 with weekly updates. And, because of my experience working customer service, sometimes people don't read so I'm going to try and make this very clear: This is NOT an ONC story. Just the commentary and author notes.

I was doing so well. For years I kept myself balanced. For years I kept myself away from anything that could set me off. Then she fell directly into my lap. Jasmine Rose isn't just my rival at work- she is everything my therapist could never have known to warn me about. I only wanted to be a good writer. I only wanted to be a good friend. I only wanted to be a good man. So why did the safety switch off when she smiled? Why did I hear that familiar click when she laughed? Maybe she's too perfect to be toxic. Maybe I'm too damaged to be saved. And if she ever pressed the barrel to my temple and asked me to pull the trigger... I can't promise I'd say no. Which leaves me with one impossible question: Am I the target? Or am I the gun?

The year is 19 BBY. The galaxy is cold. The Jedi are a memory of smoke and ash, and the "New Order" has begun to tighten its iron grip on the Core. But the transition from Republic to Empire is far from seamless. On the world of Sy Myrth)a, the corrupt and elusive Senator Toonbuck Toora has vanished into a web of secessionist holdouts and private militias. Tasked with her capture, a young and untested Imperial Navy must prove it can do what the Jedi could not: bring absolute order through absolute force. As the "Watcher" oversees this mega-campaign, every tactical decision-from the shipyards of Kuat to the muddy trenches of the Mid Rim-will determine if the galaxy stays under the thumb of the Sith, or if a new destiny emerges before the shadow of Caedus ever falls.

Translation: Hellas: Resurrection of the Emperor The year is 1936, and the cradle of civilization is a fractured ruin. In a world where the Great Powers have crumbled into splinters, even the "Giant of the West" has fallen; the United States has shattered into four warring hearts: the Pacific States, the Confederacy, the Unaligned States, and the desperate Federalists. But while the world looks at the collapse of the New World, an ancient shadow stirs in the Mediterranean. Under the banner of the Kingdom of Greece, a new generation of radicals looks past the borders of the 19th century toward a golden, blood-stained past. They do not want a Republic. They do not want a mere Kingdom. They want the Phoenix. In Season 1C, we follow the path of the iron-willed fascists in Athens. Their goal is singular and terrifying: the total reclamation of the East. From the ruins of the Balkans to the gates of Constantinople, the foundations for the Byzantine Empire are being laid in secret. The gods are silent, but the guns are loaded. Will the purple banner fly over the Hagia Sophia once more, or will the fragmented world swallow the Greek dream whole? Will our dreams of Eastern Rome be achieved? Will we take vengeance on Ottomans, Persians, or Arab Caliphates? We will bring Eastern Orthodoxy to the world as we work with Protestants and Christians alike-even the Jews-to restore the Eternal Throne.
