Once upon a time, in land of the living, there was a boy name Kelvin. He is in his youthful age with lots of desire and passion to be a great and famous person. He was the only child of his mother, but since his dad got remarried, his dad had other children. His parents were divorced when he was at the age of 5. His dad was a Christian and he was from the southern part of the country, while his mom was a Muslim and she was from the northern part of the country. So you should wonder how that would have worked in a struggling like country. Kelvin is this tall, slender and light in complexion person. When his person got divorced there was trouble between both parents on who take the full responsibility of the child. It got to the wild extent that it became a matter of the court, after many attempts the order of the judge was that the child would be under the custody of the father till he is 18 years of age then the mother could be able to have a say in kelvin's life.

I'll write at least 500 words and post them here on Vocal. Fantasy, sci-fi and horror are my go-to genres. Romance I usually take with a mix of SFF, though occasionally I'm able to write random cute encounters and sappy stuff.

Blades of Heart and Mind
Challenge: Setting & Vivid Imagery with Metaphorical Inclusion: In a world where the sky is an ever-shifting canvas of emotions, depict a morning where the dawn doesn't break as usual. Instead, the sky "weeps" crystalline tears, forming shimmering lakes on the ground below. The protagonist, a young mage-in-training, believes these tears are more than just a natural phenomenon. Describe the scene, capturing the play of light, the sensation of the crystal tears, and the mage's awe and curiosity as they try to decipher the sky's message.

Loneliness Transformed into Melodic Harmony
Loneliness, often considered a melancholic abyss that engulfs one's soul, has the potential to be transformed into a melodic harmony that resonates with the deepest chords of the human experience.

Baby's Night Out. Top Story - September 2023. Content Warning.
**This story contains a mention of pregnancy and childbirth.** I just dropped my kid off at something called ‘Parent’s Night Out,' hosted by our Karate dojo. My husband is with his friends at their annual all day game we affectionately refer to as ‘all gay dame.’ So I have the night to myself. It occurred to me that I could use a clever title for my little solo excursion. My buddy Malinda offered ‘baby’s night out’ and I think that fits. It implies wandering in a childlike state of exploration for the simple pleasures in life. A rare treat for a mama with a nine to five and a husband who works most nights and weekends.
