There is something within us, and it is logical and unforeign but unnoticed. Even the animals sense it: the brainial stun that tells us what is pain, what is fear. But here, in the autumn forest, it is different. The moon is a mere suggestion—scribbled light on a depressed sky— and the fallen leaves are stiff sheets on the ground, covering the path I once followed. Weathered trees bend down, and I can feel their sunken backs, can hear the echo of snapped bark. They collapse l

I don’t know how the body functions here or why it slows but echoes “more,” sirening out the clock, the persistent reminder while the mind traces work down bottomless lists and schedules. I have seen the striked words before—papers stacked like crates against the window—but can’t finish their requests. I am dizzy with hurry that disrupts the room’s stillness, moving from one task to the next—a flickering pulse pressed by red-lined insufficiency. Guilt is energ

It’s happening again: hungry aphids are tearing holes in the flowers’ skin— sunlight leaks through, fades into sluggish dirt. It’s only flushed petals with turned up lips they crave, burrowing straw jaws into tender pores. I hear them chomping barrenness into the garden, but I cannot see them—the waxy creatures weakening what took months to build, my fingers still raw from raking away bent twigs and cobwebbed flies.

Language is the predominant human trait that separates us from other animals. Children successfully learn their first language in a matter of a few years without the need for formal lessons.

The question posed by them has been: is language acquisition a process of filling a blank slate or the product of an innate brain struct

Knowing is to find the mirror stitched through the body—anchoring a single, winged truth. Knowing is a self-helmed clock poked through by a bird sounding on hour— an echo-feathered signal that presses the talon until it unlocks and stops, light circles to tell us: this is the real red thing everything else hums around, the needlepoint where ripples reel inward—blood soaking the heart— a liar’s tongue drowned in our hollow-less chests. Knowing is a convex gathering at sight’s

Over the last few decades, many writers have constructed novels that structurally vary from the traditional method of telling a complete story through one point of view. Whether producing a memoir or a fictional novel, these writers incorporate real-life artifacts – photographs, quotes from real people, drawings – into their books and tell their stories through multiple points of view to create a more authentic world for the reader to navigate. Here, I use the word “authentic
