Wanderlust
Thin air burned in his lungs. For a moment, just a hint of a moment, he considered the wagon slowly trundling along behind him. But that was pointless, he would still only be able to travel at the pace of the slowest porter; and besides, it was better to spare the horses at these altitudes. Not for the first time, he looked around as a broad grin split his face. Mountains are never so glorious as when one is on foot between their massive shoulders.

A Digital Character Sketch: Shadowsithe Ghoststrike
Back in September of 2021, I was enjoying a day in World of Warcraft. There is an option to make and join custom groups, and I was scrolling through to see if there were any I wanted to join in on. Usually I don't; at best, I might see someone is looking for a rare mob or a pet that the hunter class like to tame and then, if I feel up to looking for that rare, I might go look for them on my main realms and help that person get the mount/pet they're seeking.

The Cat-skull Lamp. Content Warning.
Years ago - perhaps a decade ago now - I stayed home from work to recover from a cold. I still lived with my parents; dad was outside doing some kind of yard work and mom was at work. I had just gotten back in bed after making a cup of hot tea and checking on my brother when I was surprised to hear my mom come home.

Attic
The painting felt like a gem discovered in the nick of time. It’s one of those finds that feel like you don’t believe unless you live it. The painting was hidden for so many years. It sat alone in the dark cobwebbed corner of an attic, ignored and unseen for so long it never thought it would see the light of day. A gift from a long forgotten and transplanted friend, it sat unadorned, left to collect cobwebs.

Starry Starry Night
My madness papered the wall infront of me. An artwork of newspaper, printouts, medical records and swirls of yellow and blue string. In the middle of it all a photo of my brother. The pamphlet from his funeral. Rainer Goh, beloved son and brother. It had all brought me to this moment. The needle containing the virus lay empty on the floor. The fever raged.
