A VAMPIRE'S LOVE
I was a vampire, trapped in a castle for three hundred years, until July 4, 2024. Stone walls memorized my footsteps. The chandeliers learned my silence. Seasons came and went like visitors who never knocked—snow frosting the windows, ivy crawling higher each century, the moon always faithful, always out of reach. I counted time by the cracks in the stone and the way my name echoed less each decade.

FINDING LOVE ON THE MOUNTAINTOP
I began to notice the mountain everywhere. In the way you waited for me when I fell behind in conversation, letting me catch up instead of pulling ahead. In the way we stood together at kitchen windows during storms, saying nothing, knowing the same thought lived in both of us: we’ve weathered worse.

finding love on the mountain top
The mountain didn't look like a place where love would happen, It looked sharp and aloof, a spine of stone rising out of the morning fog, more interested in the weather than in people. I climb it for quiet. For the distance. For the simple, selfish wish to feel small enough that my thoughts would finally stop shouting.
