Keyhole #8: Plato’s Cave

3 min read

The golden sun sank into the sea, and in the coastal town of Luctus, this was just the start of revelry for the drunk partygoers. For creatures of the night, wine was just as an adequate replacement for unciousness as sleep. The entire town was decorated in lanterns strung above the plaza, dancers swallowing swords of fire as they pose on the fountain. There is music too, strings, drums, and rhyth...

Now I lay me down to sleep






Vaporize into mist under my sword


I slay the demons of silver and gold.










I pray the Lord my soul to keep






In the Dreamscape it is dark and cold.


An angel of terror beats its wings.


Iron feathers cut through night.












And if I die before I wake




My guardian of eyes faith and might.


A demon digs claws in ...

Keyhole #7: Don’t Forget

The car ride was quiet, a nostalgic deep hum. It has been four days since Seri has been back from college. She flew back from the congested city back to her beachside hometown, a place her family nicknamed ‘The Twilight Zone Dishwasher’ because once you enter Oceanside the WiFi sucks and the fog is so thick you can’t even see the waves from the window.


Her mother had more silver strands of starl...

Keyhole #5: Guilt

The tree was red crystal branching from a thin trunk that dug it’s roots into the barren earth. I climbed it, my skin brushing against the pines, my feet digging into the junctions between branches. Above, the stars shone brightly. In Almerine, there are no stars. The light pollution and smoke outside the dome only allow hazy moonlight to blanket the City of Hope.


I cracked my neck and grabbed o...

Keyhole #4: Exodus From Almerine

It is said in the Garden of Eden, roses had no thorns.


A woman crouched next to burning metal held a pale rose in her hands, the small spikes pricking blood from her calloused skin. The original sin had tainted the perfect flower. She wondered if the thorns that crucified The Savior had come from a rose bush. A symbol of the darkness of the human heart killing the light resting in the divine.

Keyhole #3: Days With Color

The cold metal of weights clinked and groaned under the bright lights of the gymnasia. I sat on a bench elbow to thigh as I counted arm curls, sweat forming in beads on my forehead and soaking the back of my shirt. It was as mindless as scrolling on my phone, the only difference is it didn't make me feel like shit afterwards. I look around before discretely flexing my biceps in the mirror. My mauv...

Keyhole #2: Between Strangers

Kasey kicked up the stop on her bike, sitting herself on it as she slung her bag into the basket mounted between the worn handles.


"I like your jacket!" A girl Kasey never met with colored hair shouts from the campus parking lot before she entered her car.


"Thanks." Kasey responded just a moment too late, the snake patchwork design she scrapped together during a weekday late night billowing in...

Alabaster angels face the open gates of Luctus Cathedral, smiling figures dressed in white chattering of family stories and anticipating the taste of red wine.


The pointed steeples touch the chilling fog brought in by the salty air of the ocean, the bright light from the sun filtering through the parted clouds behind the church in an ethereal blessing to wedded couple.
