The air vibrated with the rhythmic thunder of drums and the roar of ten thousand voices, a tidal wave of sound that pulled every gaze toward the coliseum rising like a stone titan at the city’s heart.“Dad, please! I want to see Mablu’s fight too!” Young Kevin tugged desperately at the hem of his father’s salt-stained tunic, his voice high and frantic.Seth looked down, his expression a mask of…

Last year I started this site with the intent to put out my fictional stories, however as I didn’t have anything at the time I settled on sharing my thoughts on various topics. However, after sometime I stepped away from the platform, hence it went silent. Now I’m back, but this time I came with what I intended to share from the very beginning, stories and to start it off I’m going is one I find…

If you could permanently ban a word from general usage, which one would it be? Why? The English language possesses a vast, intricate vocabulary capable of expressing the most delicate nuances of human emotion. Yet, if I were granted the authority to permanently strike one word from our collective lexicon, it would undoubtedly be the word “fuck.” To some, it is a versatile linguistic tool; to…

How much would you pay to go to the moon? The straightforward answer to how much I would pay to go to the Moon is nothing. My lack of desire stems from a belief that some things are best left admired from afar, untouched by human presence. To approach too closely is to risk tainting the inherent beauty of what currently exists. ​History serves as a powerful cautionary lesson on what often…

What makes a good neighbor? A good neighbor is someone you can talk to, share with, and count on in times of need. They’re like an unofficial best friend; someone who genuinely cares about your well-being but respects your privacy. A good neighbor offers help when you ask or when they see you need it, and they’re always ready with a bit of advice when it matters most. Most importantly, a good…

What principles define how you live? The principles that define how I live? It’s a simple yet complex idea. My main principle is straightforward: make a plan, stick to it, and if it doesn’t work, switch to one that shows potential; while minimizing damage along the way. To me, life is about adaptability and persistence. Plans may fail, but the discipline to keep moving forward, adjusting as…

If you had a million dollars to give away, who would you give it to? If I had a million dollars to give away, I wouldn’t hand it to anyone directly. People often fail to appreciate what they receive for free. Instead, I would use the money to build a sustainable business that employs those willing to work. The profits from that business would go toward providing food for orphanages and helping…

What’s something you would attempt if you were guaranteed not to fail. If I were guaranteed absolutely not to fail, the endeavor I would attempt would remain the same: writing. For me, the thrill of creation and the power of narrative are unmatched. However, the guarantee of no failure fundamentally changes the approach. Given these unique circumstances, I would immediately abandon all…

What was the hardest personal goal you’ve set for yourself? The hardest personal goal I’ve ever set for myself is to always be better than the person I was yesterday. This mindset drives me to constantly push my limits, grow, and innovate; making life more meaningful and fulfilling. Of course, there are setbacks along the way, but I do my best to overcome them. And when challenges keep coming,…

Who are your favorite artists? I don’t really have any favorite artists. For me, it’s about the music; not the person behind it. I value the message, emotion, and meaning in a song more than the name of the artist singing it. Over time, many artists in the music industry start out passionate and authentic, but eventually lose that spark. They follow trends instead of staying true to their…

Why do people fear the darkness? It’s simple: we don’t know what lies within. But fear of the unknown goes beyond darkness; it’s ingrained in us from a young age, taught that danger lurks where we cannot see. What if the unknown holds exactly what we desire? The way we respond to uncertainty often defines our lives. Those who dare to step into the realm of the unknown may face great success or…

What is your favorite hobby or pastime? My favorite hobby is reading and writing. Reading allows me to analyze different styles of storytelling; both good and bad, which directly helps me grow as a writer. Well-written stories inspire me to improve my craft, while poorly written ones teach me what to avoid to make my own writing stronger. Together, reading and writing fuel my creativity,…

What would you do if you lost all your possessions? Realistically, if I suddenly lost all my possessions, I honestly don’t know exactly what I would do. The immediate, human reaction would be one of devastation—the pain of losing everything I own would be profound and deeply unsettling. It would feel like being utterly stranded in the middle of the ocean, without a boat, a float, or anything…

What’s a topic or issue about which you’ve changed your mind? One topic I’ve completely changed my mind about is writing. Five years ago, I considered writing a waste of time and never imagined myself enjoying it. If someone had told me then that I’d be creating stories, even about something as small as how mosquitoes make their way inside before “biting” you; I would have laughed. Today,…

Tell us about a time when you felt out of place. I first felt out of place when I was thirteen, just starting high school. I still carried the playful energy of a primary school student, but I quickly realized there was no one in my age group. For reasons I couldn’t explain, people kept their distance, and I noticed the way they looked at me felt different. That was the moment I chose to…

Your life without a computer: what does it look like? Without a computer, my life would look very different. Writing is something I deeply enjoy, but without the simplicity and accessibility of a computer, I doubt I would have been able to create narratives of my own. My bad handwriting alone would have made writing even a single paragraph feel impossible. Without technology, my imagination…

What skill would you like to learn? For me, it would be coding; because coding will allow me to remain the author of what I create. In a sense, I would still be writing, but instead of words on a page, I’m using a different system: programming. Coding would give me the same sense of creativity, self-expression, and authorship as a writer, just through a different system.
