Personal Narrative Assignment #2 – Conversations With My Body

When I look into the mirror, it isn’t just my reflection that stares back at me. In the quiet of my bathroom, a gathering of familiar figures—the personified pieces of me—have plenty to say. “It just keeps getting longer and longer,” Face frowns and grumbles at me. I glance down at my neck. My beard […]

Dreams of Harvest – A Morrowind Short Story

Part of the Morrowind Writing Competition organized by the Morrowind Writers’ Guild (Discord Link: https://discord.gg/ZfmEHtxWjE) Scroll to the bottom for the context of this story. Fara laid the sickle across her knee, wiping the soot from her brow. Around her, other farmers toiled silently, shoulders hunched as if the sun itself leaned upon them. Somewhere […]

Home Movies – A Forgotten Craft – Proquest #017

When was the last time you sat down to watch a home movie—not just a 10-second phone clip, but a real hour-long recording of family or friends? If your answer is “never,” you’re not alone. The art of home movie-making, once a cherished family pastime, has faded in the era of TikTok clips and quick […]

Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life Review – Proquest #016

This is a video game blog, right? It’s been a while since I’ve reviewed a game (My DQ3 First Impressions doesn’t really count), and I recently wrapped up my playthrough of Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life remake. What better opportunity to cover something than one of my favorite game series? Story of Seasons (titled […]

Goban Shadow – GoInOurLives 3rd Place – Contest Entry

Contest Page And Winners “Take your time,” he says, smugly. “It doesn’t matter, anyway. Whatever you choose will be the wrong move.” He leans back in the chair, his hands hooked behind his head. Usually, my shadow clings so closely I barely notice him—lurking behind my back or under my feet. I only catch glimpses […]

I’ll fetch refreshments,While Rose fills you in.” He led me to the dining room;A party of strangers there sat,Dice and minis cluttered the tableAnd character sheets spread flat. He was […]

The Sleep Gremlin

My sleep gremlin has grown increasingly malevolent of late. Initially, it was content merely to wake us from our sleep with its unearthly screeches and wails, shattering the warm embrace of slumber before slipping back into the shadows once its goal was met. Eventually, it escalated its tactics. It began clambering onto me in my […]

Writing Is Hard

I sit on the couch, attempting to meet my quota for my daily writing. I open the document for my current project, but the thoughts refuse to flow freely. I’m at a tense and pivotal part of the chapter, and it must be handled adeptly. But today, I don’t have the mental capacity to make […]

Dragon Quest III HD-2D First Impressions – Proquest #015

Dragon Quest III was never my favorite entry in the franchise (that honor goes to DQ V), but it’s a game that’s grown on me over the years since I first played the mobile port. In fact, when the HD-2D remake was announced, I found myself unexpectedly hyped. Now that I’ve finally got my hands […]

Fatebound Journey Part 3 – Clash on the Crags

Authors Note: This will be the last chapter of Act I. Act II will mostly be an episodic, town-of-the-week format, introducing new companions to fill out the party. Intro: This is part of a serialized fantasy story I’m writing. It’s shamelessly inspired by Dragon Quest. Let me know know your thoughts, positive or negative. Please […]
