Philly Stories

In the Burg, you learned young: keep your head down, your guard up, and your faith close. I forgot that lesson for thirty years. Left Bridesburg after my mother's funeral - a phone call, a job in Poland, and I never looked back. Gdansk, London, Alaska, the Caribbean. I ran until there was nowhere left to run, then came home to retire in Ma's old house on the same red brick sidewalk where I grew up. But something's wrong with the neighbors. Pat and Putty never look tired. Tessie never sleeps in. At 2:47 AM, they stand outside in their pajamas like statues, faces tilted toward nothing. I'm sleeping ten hours a night and waking up like I've worked doubles. Because I have. When exhaustion finally drags me under, I don't dream. I wake - in the dark, in a pod, in a place that makes every factory floor I ever worked look like paradise. Thousands of us, lined up and twitching, generating the energy that keeps their world running. We're not people here. We're batteries. We've always been batteries. And the things wearing my neighbors' faces are the shift supervisors making sure we stay plugged in. They tell me I volunteered. That we all did, before the first sleep. They weren't expecting a stubborn Polish kid from St. John's Parish who still remembers the prayers his mother made him memorize before his voice changed. Turns out, I came home to finish what she started.

But as we writing it in history, I 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮, But i wish i would've 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐦𝐞 to, I wish I would've chose me to, You can't be what i need & that's 𝐀𝐋𝐑𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓

Rihmeek Williams is a trapper, dedicated to the streets. That's all he's ever known, he's money hungry and doesn't care about no one but himself.

I was a baby once. People forget that. First Born, First Burden is the story of a young girl raised by noise, responsibility, and expectations. The oldest daughter who learned how to be strong before she learned how to rest. Now 23, a single mother, trying to move out, go back to school, and break cycles she never created. This is my truth. Unfiltered.

In SPYDA: The Spider-Man from Kensington, Philadelphia, DeShawn "Spyda" Webster - a rebellious graffiti artist from Philly's toughest blocks - gains the powers of a holographic web-slinger after being bitten by a mutated wolf spider in an abandoned OSCORP tunnel. Using webs that glow like neon paint, Spyda swings through the city not to save it, but to claim it as his own. --- (I've had this idea for a "anti hero Spiderman" fanfic for several years now and finally had some time to finish it. The writing and concept is my own. I'll be using Midjounrey to conceptualize images of the character(s). I wanted a superhero from Philadelphia, my hometown. so stay tuned. I do not own Spiderman or any Marvel Character.
