The Weave
In a developing nation a prostitute screamed her final scream. No one cared about it except to then sell the body parts it would seem.

The River
The sun was almost gone, making the river a vibrant pink and orange. The fall air was crisp, but not painfully cold, requiring only a hoodie and jeans. I knew the snow was coming and the river would freeze soon enough, but tonight I wanted to enjoy the end of summer on the dock, with my hot chocolate and my book. Alone. Curled up in my chair at the end of the dock, my drink getting cold next to me, I closed my book and looked out across the river. There were tiny islands everywhere, and I could see people in the distance getting things ready for the cold winter. They would be leaving soon, and I couldn’t wait until everyone was gone.

Deals
Three hours ago the sky was clear, the wind at our backs, and the sea was wonderfully calm. Me and my men were singing and drinking after a successful raid on a small port village. Now we were in the middle of a raging storm and a maelstrom that had opened in the middle of it all. On top of that cannonballs were flying past and occasionally hitting the ship. The cannonballs were from an English Navy ship that had been dispatched just for us. I'll admit I did feel special at this moment.

Laundromat
Isaias sat sideways on the very last of a line of pale blue fiberglass chairs that were connected by a thick single metal bar underneath. He was looking out of the large laundromat glass window at the sky above the old run-down buildings that lined the street.

CRAZY
Not again. The presence. I can feel the chill. The breeze of an entity passing past me. Taunting me. Again. This story begins many years ago. A tiny community constructed next to the large, ominous at times, lake in the woods. No one knew the series of spirit connection to the structure that had been relocated to this very spot so long ago. This structure itself attached to a famously known haunted church from miles down the road. These spirits are not happy and long to be home again.

Ranger Danger
Park Ranger John Sterling watched the sun begin to set over the tranquil waters of Lake Diablo. He checked his watch and frowned. By his estimation, he had less than half an hour of light left.

Come swim with me
I relive the same nightmare every night. Night after night I walk down to the shore, the pebbles crunching under my bare feet, the sound of water lapping, softly washing over me. I stand in the water, just up to my ankles and feel the cold creep up my legs, into my belly, my chest, until my whole body is covered in goose bumps and shivering. Then I hear it. A soft, almost melodious voice whispering across the water “…come….keep coming… you’re almost home…” it sounds as if it’s spoken with a smile, gentle and reassuring. It’s not a voice I recognise, buts it’s oddly familiar. It’s everywhere, but nowhere. I can’t place if it’s a man or a woman, it’s just a voice, beckoning, guiding, calling me.

All Hallows Eve
Mirrors are not just pieces of reflective glass. They are glimpses into a world unknown. A world of the dead, damned and not so dearly departed.

My Hero Academia's Pop Culture Quirk
Fiction can actively captivate people to become enthralled with the magnificent and thought-provoking worlds on display. In Japan, those who make up the “Dankai Junior” generation or the “lost decade” look to sources of pop cultural fiction as a way to escape the burden of everyday life to the point where a new gray area forms between the imaginary and reality. My Hero Academia, while relatively new, is a franchise that has made prolific headway in the Japanese popular culture market by way of its immersive world building. I believe My Hero Academia’s major success has come from fragmenting the essence of the series, mobilizing its consumers through playful engagement, and posing socio-political significance as a meaningful media mix franchise for its target audience in Japan today.

The Unknown: Tale from the Lagoon
In a small town on the outskirts of North Carolina, lives a community built around a lagoon. Our community has never had an official name because we don't appear on any maps. Us townies refer to our beautiful, small residence as The Unknown.
