The house was delapetated. Half of the house's roof had missing or fallen shingles, the other half of the roof had entirely caved in. Maybe a storm did it. Maybe it happened over time. Mould grew around the walls of the exterior. In parts you could still see the yellowish cream that once wrapped around it. The exterior of the place was completely littered. There was broken, rain ruined furniture; a plastic chair with only three legs, a wooden cupboard with the doors hanging o

The white and silver of the hands popped in comparison to the round black dial below them. The time had stopped at 6 hours and 52 minutes. It had stopped the very second he had passed. The doctors had called his passing 6:52pm. My grandad had been rushed to hospital, a speedy ambulance ride after he had dropped to the ground clasping a

Saturday the 4th, 2026 Dear diary... no, I'm kidding. So, I'm going to level with you guys, this El Nino heat wave is absolute torture, and living in Portugal, temperatures have been around 40°c and honestly, my apartment is a fucking sauna.

Several months had passed on the search for my very own place on campus. I had seen a handful of shared rooms and single rooms. Today, I was viewing an on campus studio.

She had invited me to take one of the rooms but I knew that I couldn’t do it. I liked my privacy, I liked having my own space

I had wandered off the path for a while now. Unsure exactly where I had made my mistake. Was it when I headed west after the second signpost, or was it when I turned east at the end of the short stream. At this point it didn’t really matter any more, what mattered was that the footpath was no longer beneath my feet and I no longer saw those white arrows on the trees that the park rangers sometimes painted to keep hikers moving in the right direction.

“I would define … the poetry of words as The Rhythmical Creation of Beauty.” Edgar Allan Poe I finally published my first poetry anthology, something I’ve been working on quietly for a few years. It’s filled with pieces about growth, healing, shadows, self-reflection, and those little moments that stay with you longer than they should. For years, my poetry lived in scattered places, such as, in notebooks with bent corners, in phone notes written late at night, on scraps of pa
