Dark Memoirs - Index Despite his achievements, his prowess in the field he chose to pursue a career in, you’re unlikely to have heard of him. He is nothing more than a phantom—a ghost, a shadow who was there. Once.

Unfinished
Once upon a time, not so long ago, in a kingdom full of bright green meadows and sprawling, densely packed forestry. Smaller villages and towns lined the rough roads that intertwined towards the castle. All roads indeed led to Castle Muckle Glaikit. The proud Unbarmherzig royal family had inhabited the castle for many centuries. Although generally well liked, King Eroberer, Queen Eitel, and their children—Prince Tumb and Princess Verderblich—were respected accordingly.

Para Bellum
Structural integrity of everything we’ve built thus far dictates that action is imperative. Refusal to set a course would be nothing short of devastating. That was the prevailing argument. The same argument. The oldest argument.

Dark Memoirs - Index Sentimentality is a curse. Apatheia (Freedom from Emotion). The goal of Diogenes. Intense sentimental attachments do not make for betterment in this mortal coil. Whether it is to objects, places, or especially, people, it breeds vulnerability to suffering and loss.

Dark Memoirs - Index
Dark Memoirs is a serial fiction told in fragments, tracing a life organised around control, absence, and method. Each chapter stands alone while contributing to a larger design, where sentiment yields to process and belief hardens into routine.

A Necessary Absence
Dark Memoirs - Index It feels like the right time to talk about the one who got away. That lover from high school you thought you’d grow old with, the white-picket-fence life already imagined. A fumbled fuck behind the bike shed, bright-eyed and convinced it would become the romance of the century. Romeo and Juliet, without the feuding families or the suicide.
