XIX. Blackreach and Blacker Hearts

The moth’s carcass smouldered, wings fused to a cigarette butt like a failed origami angel. Evelyn traced the curve of Georgia’s hip, her touch tender as a grease fire. For three breaths, the room held still—the kind of quiet that lives between a trigger pull and the bullet’s verdict.

When 8-year-old Jamie stumbles upon a strange machine, a single interaction changes her life—she emerges as a girl with no explanation. Struggling to adjust, Jamie becomes obsessed with uncovering the truth about the machine. As she digs deeper, she uncovers cryptic clues, hidden conspiracies, and whispers of others who were changed before her. But the more she learns, the more she questions if her transformation was an accident—or part of something far bigger. In this suspenseful mystery, Jamie must confront not only the machine’s secrets but the deeper question of who she’s meant to be.

Southern Sunlight


The Prequel to “Stuck in the Middle”

In this chapter, the warmth of a Southern morning sets the stage as Emily helps her mama with daily chores, feeling the rhythm of home life in every small task. With the scent of fresh bread in the air and the sound of cicadas humming outside, she finds adventure in the simplest of moments—whether tending to the chickens, playing by the creek, or daydreaming about what her papa might bring home from work. As the day unfolds, the evening brings a sense of comfort and wonder, with stories shared over supper and fireflies flickering in the warm Georgia night. Wrapped in the familiar sounds of the swamp, Emily soaks in the magic of home, where every carved detail and whispered breeze feels like a treasure waiting to be discovered.

The shove practically threw Jared across the room, slamming him against the wall. Snapshots and cheap posters rained down. Jared looked for somewhere to run, but he was already backed into the far corner of his room.
