She learned early that some things never leave-they simply change shape. What began as something invisible slowly became something she carried everywhere, settling into the quiet spaces of her life. Time moved forward, but parts of her remained suspended, waiting for something she couldn't name. She adapted in ways no one noticed, learning how to exist around what could not be undone. The world saw her growing, changing, becoming-but there were pieces of her still standing in places no one else could see. She spent years moving between versions of herself, unsure which one was real and which one had been shaped by survival. Some days felt like standing still. Others felt like moving toward something she didn't fully understand yet. This is the story of what it means to live with what remains-and what it takes to slowly become someone new.

Disgusted by the state of the world, the main character, Olorin Adegoke, looks for an apprentice and finds it in an unlikely source.

The prologue to the story I'm writing. Pretty basic, nothing notable. It's basically meant to explain a little bit of the main character's backstory, as well as explain where their powers came from.

Losing something that made you whole, unapologetic, and happy is now gone and you love life wondering if you'll ever get it back

Sometimes wisdom comes from the most unexpected places. In this reflection, I explore how even people we disapprove of—or might instinctively condemn—can offer valuable insights about accountability, truth, and personal responsibility. The story highlights the importance of separating the messenger from the message: listen carefully, reflect, and act wisely, no matter the source.

In snowbound Toronto, 2026, architect Elena Voss signs an Echo Lease on her sister Mara's flooded condo _ a grief-tech program that resurrects Mara's voice from old recordings. At first it's comfort:Mara forgives her for pushing her to stay for the view. then it's too perfect.

"Oh, Mr. Prolongo. You are a better specimen than I was led to believe. Before you go, may I ask for a moment of your time? I promise to pay you in full for your services." "None of that funny business. Promise?" "Mr. Prolongo. I will keep my hands where you can see them at all times. Lola, the thurible, if you will. Mr. Prolongo, my niece will anoint you with the incense—it is merely a test. As you can see, the smoke is red, but if and only if it were to change to white. Well. Let's see." The young lady, Lola, came at me swinging the stinky can. It smelled like my evening tea of Earl Grey. She murmured a small incantation I could not decipher. The red smoke engulfed me and all eyes were on me. Then a smile like one of those cats that can disappear bloomed on her lips. The smoke was white.

This story is inspired by the weekly Reedsy prompt. You can upload freely to that site but here I upload a story, the Pinterest mood board, and any other brainstorming processes. I have also decided to start drawing my own thumbnail for each so I have more to offer you for your subscriptions and your time. Not every story here is gonna be Reedsy prompts but they are often great jumping off points so that's what today will be. Here's the prompt: Write about a character who can rewind, pause, or fast-forward time. - submissions must be between 1000 and 3000 words( I may go over this word count but it will still remain short story length. ) I am sort of twisting this prompt, it wont be ONLY one of the time options. It will be a certain mix. You'll have to stay tuned to find out!

Poetry written at a time of deep heartbreak. I think most of us are familiar with the longing and despair that comes after breaking up with a loved one. To have the pain continue night after night, day after day, for months on end? That's where this poem is written from.

Tommy wanders a dying world, clinging to relics of the life humanity lost. But when he uncovers an AI named Elara—still alive when all machines should be dead—his solitude fractures, and fear becomes something far more complicated.
