Under The Bed. Top Story - July 2025. Content Warning.
When I was a child, I had this odd friend. He wasn't some cuddly creature or a person like other imaginary friends were. No. My imaginary friend was this odd leathery creature with narrow black eyes and a huge, jagged tooth grin. That looked to be too big for his narrow face. Claws that wereabout three inches long and a sickly shade of yellow too. Long, disturbingly thin limbs that were a distinctly unnatural shade of white.

Perfect Apple Pie
Baking a pie with you is a lot different than doing one alone. I’ve always baked my birthday pie without anyone with me. It isn’t because I’m a snob or a perfectionist. But I’ve just preferred to do it alone. Or that’s what I kept telling myself. As I started greasing the pie tin, I smiled as I listened to you hum. Before this I just listened to whatever podcast that I could find on my phone.

Vacuous Silence
I still see you. In your space on our bed. Sprawled out in a way that makes it difficult for me to join you. But now I can’t anymore. You’re gone. It feels like a piece of me went along with you the day you went. Even though I shouldn’t be lingering on you for longer than I have. My mind won’t let you go. Despite what everyone is telling me; I can’t let you go. All I do is see you in more places.

Xtra Xtra. Top Story - June 2025.
There is something that needs to be said during pride month. At least something that I need to remind myself. That I don’t need to be out to everyone during that month. And that I don’t need to be a model trans man. Nor do I need to be the perfect model of gay either. As I am asexual and aromantic. What I also don’t need to do is get into a relationship anytime soon either.

Quite Unusual
If not for the work of one Jonah Boyle. We would not have surgeons washing their hands before they worked on you. Dr. Jonah Boyle was one of the very first doctors that washed their hands before operating on his patient. Making his patient death percentage much lower than his fellow surgeons. A fact that others adopted during and after his death in June eleventh, 1866. A man that performed various operations during combat in his years in the military. Saving countless lives while in the process and rising to the rank of Inspecter General. Having died of dysentery much like his other fellow soldiers.

Things You Can't Say six. Content Warning.
Vet visits. When it comes right down to it, I never realized just how humiliating they can be. For the pet at least. I’ve never thought that a routine physical could be so invasive. The way that he’s groping makes me shudder. Despite how hard that I tried not to I do. Which he tries to soothe by giving soft little hums and strokes my side. But there is no way in Hell that I’m allowing him to calm me down as he touches me. It just makes me tremble harder as I stand on the exam table. Keeping my hands steady as I can when he looks down at me like I’m some scared child. Soft pats on my hips as he tries to keep me from doing something stupid.

Queer Light of Truth. Honorable Mention in Pride Under Pressure Challenge.
There was a strange glow coming from your closet since last week. At first the light wasn’t too strong. When you woke up in the morning it wasn’t on. So, you shrugged it off as just a figment of your imagination. That maybe you had been seeing things, or it had been part of your dreams. Though the next night you found yourself completely awake and the light had grown stronger.

Youth Is Calling
To Being an Adult, I quit. I’ve had enough of this being mature bullshit and having to keep a job. I just want to be a kid again. To go back to the carefree days that I don’t have to worry about bills. Or if I have a roof over my head. What kind of food will I eat if I get any at all. What I want to worry about is what kind of games I’m going to play.
