The Unexpected.
It was a dark and stormy night, and Julia was driving home from her late-night shift at the hospital. She had taken a new job as a nurse in a small town that was far from her home. The town was so quiet and isolated that it made her feel uneasy. She longed to be back in the city with the bustling streets and bright lights.

Dr. Winter's Forgetfulness Clinic: The Yellow Eyed Man
Doctor Pamella Winter found the man in her office when she returned from lunch. This wasn't uncommon, Juliet often let her clients in to wait, but the man in cast off clothes who was sitting across from her desk wasn't one of Doctor Winter’s usual patients.

She expected him to be dim, his speech slurred or hurried, but as he explained himself she could almost hear the money that had gone into his education.

Prime Hook Swamp Creature of Delaware
The world is full of stories of strange creatures. Some can be easily traced to their roots, like in the case of the Hodag of American Folklore, while the origin of others can be full of twists and turns, like that of Tahoe Tessie. Cryptids, as they're called, are a fun topic to research and write about, and most have a wealth of information available, even though difficult to verify. Occasionally, my random topic rolling pulls up a more obscure cryptid, which presents challenges different from sorting fact from fiction.

Skin Walk with Me. Top Story - February 2023.
If walls could talk, they’d teach you a thousand words for shame. I have no memory of what came before me – this is perhaps our only overlap. Some entities are visitors and others hosts; the most fortunate are the ones who live as both. I am sought by eternal guests in every age and era.
