The Day I K*lled My Mother
The Day I K*lled My Mother From the inky depths of the night, a chill slithered into my veins, weaving a tapestry of dread around my heart. Each raindrop, a mournful echo on the windowpane, seemed to whisper a lament for a soul lost to the shadows. Ever since that tempestuous eve, when my father vanished like a wisp of smoke, the night has cloaked itself in an aura of chilling absence and menacing silence.

Three Rooms Down
A deep stirring in my stomach woke me earlier than I had planned. Per usual, my eyes were droopy, and my limbs weren’t feeling all too inclined to function. They clung tightly to my form, refusing to leave my side for but a second, and I stayed curled up in the spiral that I like to sleep in. My mind though, my mind was more alert than it had ever been – morning or night. Something disturbing was afoot, I could feel it in every bone of my body.

The Process of Art
Standing before the fresh canvas, he took out his sketchbook and brainstormed. While in art school, he was indebted to the professor’s prompts.

Taking his sketchbook with him, he wandered the college art halls, wondering what prompts lay behind them. But none of those designs spoke to him. He switched from examining color expression and composition to patterns and design. Scruffling his hands through his hair, he felt uninspired. It had already been a couple of weeks since he finished anything noteworthy. How had he composed those pieces?
