This story came from a real moment. I was sitting in bed, feeling like the weight of the world was crushing me...physically. Bills. Responsibilities. The future. My body was aching. My mind wouldn't shut off. I told God, "I just want to rest. I want to feel like I did when I was a little girl. I want to stop carrying everything like it's all on me." That prayer turned into a story. "The Pillow and the Porch Light" is my heart in words...a reminder that even when life feels overwhelming, God never stops being our covering. It's not just a story about childhood innocence. It's about what happens when we remember that we are still God's daughters. Even at 35. Even with kids of our own. Even when the bills are real and life is heavy. We don't have to carry the house. We don't have to fight the night. The porch light is still on... and our Father is still watching the door.

In the village of Willowbrook, where ancient oaks guard hidden wonders, Eliza discovers a silver-furred squirrel with a chewed parchment. The squirrel reveals a secret-a remedy for broken hearts hidden near a weeping willow and a mossy bridge. But to unlock its power, Eliza must share her deepest truth. As she weaves hope through whispered words, the village transforms, and Eliza becomes their keeper of secrets.

Some call it confusion. Others call it the Baylon Effect. Baylon thought life after high school would feel like freedom. Instead, it feels like... buffering. No university yet. No job. No ID. Just a sketchbook, a Wi-Fi connection, and a weird talent for going viral when he least expects it. It all started with a half-asleep rant about being 18, broke, and ID-less. Next thing he knew, his inbox blew up, strangers were quoting him, and an energy drink brand called ZappyZap wanted him to be their ambassador. Small problem: every opportunity wants an ID. And Baylon doesn't have one. Then came Zia. A sarcastic voice in his DMs. Quiet, clever, lowkey chaotic. She's battling something much bigger than Baylon's ID crisis-and somehow, she still has the energy to help him build his first digital side hustle. But time's ticking. Zia might be leaving the country. And Baylon? He's still figuring out if he's stuck... or just getting started. A story about awkward glow-ups, meme-worthy friendships, late-night thoughts, and falling for someone while falling apart-digitally. If you've ever felt like the whole world moved on without you... but you still kinda hoped something good was loading-this story's for you.
