Chapter
The Boy Soldier
The Boy Soldier begins with a warm and familiar scene—an energetic child no older than three, wrapped in laughter and curiosity, engaging in pretend battle with the most accessible “enemy” he knows: his father. In his tiny hands, a beard becomes a rope to pull, buttons become targets to poke, and a watch becomes the prize he proudly claims. These harmless skirmishes are not fought with anger but with love, as the child’s playful assaults are absorbed with joy. The father, although seemingly under…-

Chapter
The Boston Athenaeum
The Boston Athenaeum quietly draws the soul inward from the noise of modern life, offering not simply a retreat but a return to something deeply human. The narrow spiral staircase, while physically small, feels symbolic—each step a departure from urgency and a descent into calm. High above the casual chatter and distant footsteps below, there exists a gallery where silence hums with potential, where the clutter of books on the floor or just out of arm’s reach feels intentional, as if waiting for…-

The Air of the "Whistling Oyster" begins with an absurdly mismatched couple: a seventy-three-year-old prophet and his strikingly young wife, barely eighteen. Their union, already strange, became even more bizarre with the arrival of their son—a boy born not into childhood, but seemingly straight into cynical adulthood. From the moment he emerged, he carried himself with a strange gravity, casting off rattles and bibs for spectacles and the sneer of someone weary of life. His first words were not babbled…

Chapter
Tasker Norcross
Tasker Norcross offers not just a glimpse into one man’s reclusive life but a broader commentary on emotional detachment and the silent tragedies that unfold behind closed doors. Norcross stands apart from his community, not through scandal or acclaim, but by the sheer peculiarity of his existence. His presence had always unsettled the usual order, as though he neither fit in nor chose to stand out. With his passing, the town seems to recalibrate, reducing its view of humanity to two simple types…-

Signs
Signs of Christmas begin long before the date arrives, not with decorations or carols, but in how children start to act. Suddenly, the same hands that once resisted chores now tidy shoes and fold blankets without being asked. Whispers of Santa’s watchful eyes transform everyday defiance into obedience, as if the holiday has cast a gentle spell over the house. Parents notice this shift not in grand gestures, but in small acts of kindness and cooperation. Children become generous with smiles and quick to…-
