Motionless (part four)
Category: Books and Stories
Stepping from the hansom cab onto the wet street and up my stairs to my apartment I instantly noted subtle signs amiss the lingering footprint on the damp step, the slight rustle of a curtain within, and the unsettling ease with which my front door yielded to my hand. My fingers instinctively closed around the revolver concealed in my coat as the bitter tang of unfamiliar tobacco smoke filled the... » Continue Reading

Margaret apartment (part three)
Category: Books and Stories
The door creaked open with a reluctant groan as I stepped inside, closing it behind me with a muted click. My apartment, perched on the upper floor of an aging London bookstore , smelled faintly of tobacco, ink, and the ghosts of midnight lamplight. Heavy drapes, drawn halfway, let in the dull gray of a foggy morning, casting long shadows over worn oriental rugs and a fireplace choked with yesterd... » Continue Reading

Have you spoken to my sister yet? (part two)
Category: Books and Stories
In the heart of London, on a bleak winter evening, shadows danced along the rain-slick cobblestones under the pale glow of gaslight. A damp chill hung in the air; fog curled around the lampposts like restless spirits and muffled the distant clip clop of horse drawn carriages. Ren L. Black, a delphic figure in a long dark coat, drew the collar closer against the drizzle as he stepped through the na... » Continue Reading

You might consider (part one)

In a modest apartment, scented richly with the sweet aroma of chocolate mingled with freshly brewed coffee, Pete the chocolatier sat in animated conversation with his enigmatic friend, known among a select few as Ren L. Black. The pair were often engaged in peculiar conversations, and today proved no exception. The room was small yet charming, every corner infused with warmth and the inviting scen... » Continue Reading

Where is San Antonio?
Category: Blogging
In the dimly lit alley behind the opulent restaurant, the rain had transformed the cobblestones into a reflective mirror, casting an ethereal glow about the scene. My attention, initially captivated by the polished elegance of my new shoes that I had found at a reasonable price , was abruptly drawn to a shadow moving stealthily through the kitchen. Curiosity, a faithful companion, compelled me to... » Continue Reading

The library
Category: Blogging
The library was a cathedral of silence, the towering shelves standing like sentinels over the labyrinth of knowledge they guarded. My boots made no sound against the carpeted floor as I moved deeper into the stacks, my mind sharpening with every page I turned. I had always found solace here, in the quiet hum of old books and the crisp scent of parchment laced with ink. The world outside might shif... » Continue Reading

night
Category: Blogging
The night had deepened into more shadows by the time I found myself before the vacant house once more. But let me not hasten ahead of myself for this venture had begun not in the dead of night, but in the crisp clarity of morning when I resolved, most prudently, to suspend my investigation in favor of knowledge. » Continue Reading

The early morning air
Category: Blogging
The early morning air was crisp as I made my way home from the gym, my breath curling into the dim light of dawn. It was then that I saw it again a gray fox, or something akin to one, its sleek form slipping through the mist-laden streets with an uncanny grace. This was not the first time I had glimpsed the creature, and yet, as before, it vanished before I could be certain of what I had seen. Ord... » Continue Reading

Coming Back
Category: Blogging
The hour was early, the world still shaking off the last remnants of slumber. I had just concluded my morning ritual at the gym, muscles humming with the echoes of exertion, when an unexpected sight caught my eye. A creature swift, spectral, and draped in a coat of gray slipped across my path. The golden fingers of dawn did little to expose its true nature. Was it a fox? A coyote? Something else e... » Continue Reading

Going Out
Category: Blogging
The morning mist had scarcely lifted from the streets when I found myself possessed of a singular determination—an urge to engage in a contest of strength, to test sinew and will alike. Thus, with a resolute heart and a mind steeled against indolence, I set forth upon my journey to that temple of exertion known as the gym. The atmosphere within was thick with the scent of iron and sweat, the very ... » Continue Reading
