“The Map”
A stranger hands Roberto an old map covered in unreadable markings. Only one word can be understood: Tuesday. What follows changes the way he sees coincidence, fear, and the people who quietly enter our lives. Continue reading

“To dream…”
July 17, 2026 – 1:24 a.m. Well, that’s all I think I’ve ever been doing. “When will you win?” That’s been an ongoing echo for me.

“A Misunderstanding”
July 15, 2026 — 11:59 p.m. Sitting in the darkness… Well, not complete darkness. Watching Francis Ford Coppola walk through a video store and talk about movies on YouTube. Pretty dope.

“The Ritual”

“Seven Minutes”
What if gravity disappeared for only seven minutes? Maybe we’d stop worrying, step outside, and spend a few moments floating together beneath the stars. Continue reading

“The Soundtrack”
July 13, 2026 – 8:29 a.m. Morning to all. And even morning to the day that isn’t tangible… The one with no name. I’m not tired today. So… Let’s begin. I grew up in the ’80s and ’90s. The piece of technology I remember loving most was my yellow Sony Walkman. It was awesome. I’d… Continue reading
