Quick note for readers:
These aren’t written like traditional short stories. I’m doing a live roleplay while watching the episodes — reacting in-character, improvising scenes as they unfold — then lightly editing afterward so it flows "better" on the page.
Think of this less like a polished novel and more like a campfire story, a tabletop session, or oral storytelling: playful, reactive, and very much alive in the moment. You’re basically reading the session log of my imagination having fun.
