    • ON BOOKS ABOUT RED MEN Cover
      by LovelyMay "ON BOOKS ABOUT RED MEN" opens with a tone of warm nostalgia, where a gentleman writes to a young schoolboy, Dick, about his own youthful fascination with stories of Native American life. The writer recalls days spent pretending to be an “Indian,” trying and failing to make a tomahawk or mimic Hiawatha’s rituals. He shares that the stories weren’t just imaginative fuel but sources of great enthusiasm—so much so that he once stuffed a peace pipe with tea leaves and promptly sickened himself. What…

    • Chapter 2: Jude and Healing Cover
      by testsuphomeAdmin Chapter 2 began with his body no longer feeling like his own. It was as if it had become something separate from him, something unpredictable and unreliable, a vessel that could betray him at any moment. He carried an unease within himself, moving through the world cautiously, ensuring that no one got too close, no one could breach the invisible walls he had carefully rebuilt around him. Only in solitude did he feel safe, when the world could not impose its presence upon him, when he was free from the…
