    11x featured wattpad story. Before everything, it's assumed there was nothing, but what if there was no real difference between the two? Just two extreme philosophies from the first conflict. The planet Huom has been under observation for longer than should technically be possible. The primary watcher, a bitter black hole, is excited to see that there is finally a proverbial Darkness at the end of the tunnel. Meanwhile, on the planet, in the freezing mountains of Empris, Lyeasrakardsul, the oldest living sorcerer, suffers from devastating nightmares. At the same time, far away in the sandstone desert of Zenon, Herschel, a man filled to the brim with weird ideas is escaping a prison filled with strange old men. What does all this have to do with arsehole Gods, hairy Dwarfs, frustrated Afreets, curious Knomes, lizard-women, and nude Áettar? Perhaps Nothing, perhaps Everything... but why can't it be both?

    Some words are never said in time. Letters I Never Got to Say is a deeply personal collection of memories, reflections, and quiet conversations written for a father who is no longer here but never truly gone. Through stories of childhood, moments of laughter, and the silence that followed loss, this book captures what it means to love someone beyond their presence. From a father who was both strict and joyful, to the small things that now mean everything, each page is filled with honesty, grief, and enduring love. This is not just a story about loss. It is a story about carrying someone with you in memories, in strength, and in the words left behind. For anyone who has ever lost someone they love, this book is a reminder: Some goodbyes are never really the end.

    Random (mostly) short poems and other stuff I wrote throughout, compiled here just as a miscellaneous collection archive-ish place. Nothing professional, but hope they are at least meaningfully readable. Comments and suggestions are always welcome-I'm curious about your insights, and how you felt and interpreted parts.

    We like to believe that danger is obvious. That it stands out. That it warns us. That we would see it coming. But what if it doesn't? The Shape of What We Overlook is not just a look at ten infamous serial killers-it is an exploration of what allowed them to exist. Through cases like Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, John Wayne Gacy, and others, this book moves beyond the surface of crime and into something deeper: The environments that shaped them. The systems that failed. The moments that were missed. This is not a story about monsters. It is a reflection on something far more unsettling... How ordinary things can conceal extraordinary harm. Because what we overlook... Doesn't disappear. It takes shape.

    In a world where everyone chases the obvious, I ran toward the sun - warmth, brilliance, and promise. But the night whispered differently. Its quiet, gentle light showed me that peace and beauty exist even where we least expect them. A story about chasing, noticing, and discovering the subtle light in every moment. Sometimes, the answers we seek aren't in the brightness we pursue, but in the quiet we overlook.
