Paddling in the Dark

It’s been 100 days since I dropped chapter 1 of my first story on Lush.

Since then, I’ve published 11 additional stories. But there is something about your “First”.

Open Secrets is a five-part story. It is an intimate, psychologically driven exploration of desire, temptation, and the fragile boundaries that hold long-term relationships together. The story centers on a married man who believes his life is stable and predictable until an unexpected situation forces him to confront the parts of himself he has carefully kept hidden. What begins as a private indulgence spirals into a tense emotional and moral crossroads defined by loyalty, secrecy, and self-discovery.

Chapter 1 may feel familiar, echoing a cliché setup. That is by design. Keep reading, and the story deepens quickly, trading surface-level intrigue for escalating tension, emotional complexity, and characters who begin making choices that are anything but safe. If you are willing to move beyond the opening chapter you will find a narrative that grows sharper, riskier, and far more compelling with every chapter.

If you have not read the series, please check it out! And please share feedback in the comments.

Earlier this week, my latest story dropped.

In the middle of a crowded concert venue, a chance encounter between two strangers draws them into something unplanned. What follows is a fast-moving mix of impulse and opportunity that stretches boundaries before either of them can stop to question it.

This is a story about timing, chance, and how quickly a single night can veer off script. I hope you enjoy it!

I dropped a new story yesterday.

A young woman brings her closest friends face-to-face with an unconventional relationship she’s been struggling to explain.

She wants to give them a sense of reassurance. She expects the meeting to ease their concerns. Instead, the situation grows more complicated as the night proceeds.

Curiosity eventually replaces politeness and the night moves in directions no one anticipated.

What unfolds an encounter that challenges comfort zones and quietly reshapes perspectives, revealing how quickly understanding can shift when seen up close.

I released a new story this morning. This time, I am diving into the supernatural.

When a woman reconnects with the one person who ever truly challenged her, she expects nothing more than a night of conversation and nostalgia.

As the hours slip by, desire deepens, restraint frays, and the man she once knew begins to reveal a darkness she cannot explain and cannot resist.

In the end, she must decide whether to return to the life she built, or surrender to a night that was never meant to end.

Over the weekend, I released my Elements writing comp entry.

This one is unlike any of my other stories. While it draws on similar themes as my previous stories, it is more structured and takes more of a psychological approach.

An artist is summoned to a secluded estate to create four portraits of the same subject, each inspired by a different element. With each sitting, a different side of the subject begins to emerge.

The story ultimately explores power, control, and the cost of being truly seen.
