The house itself felt warm, lived-in, full of framed family photos and the smell of something always baking in the oven. It was the opposite of my house, where I felt like a guest who’d overstayed my welcome instead of a son.

Instead, I stared into the little flame between us. It guttered, then steadied, as if reminding me that fragile light could still hold back the dark—at least for a while.

I don’t know what it is about fall that makes me want to spin yarn, but I’ll take it. Next up: this delicious blend from @intothewhirled.bsky.social
A braid of spinning fiber from @intothewhirled yarn in the color “Unobtainium” which is green, purple, and blue. The blend is 70/15/15 Merino/Yak/Silk

I don’t understand the arguments for keeping standard time over the winter. They say it’s not great for the zone edges. So why not shift the zones? We are used to shifting time 2x a year. Shift the problematic zone areas and stay in daylight savings time.

Today I made yarn. Still needs a good wash. #yarn #handspun

The stars above blurred into a single soft glow, and everything else—past, future, whatever came after—faded away until it was only us. Just warmth and the quiet magic of a kiss we’d both been holding back for too long.

We spent the next hour in the costume room digging through moth-eaten robes, plastic swords, and wigs that looked, and smelled, like someone had rescued them from a dumpster.

More than some lab with wires, computers, and data ports, this place came straight from our nightmares, complete with the faint electric scent that always followed me back into waking.

I caught sight of the sky, which had turned to twilight. A whirl of deep blues and bruised purples, dotted with constellations I didn’t recognize.

Wednesday vibes.
Rusty, an orange and white cat, lays half on his back with a paw resting on his face. He’s had it with this week, but it’s only Wednesday.

In Philly, I could vanish if I wanted to. Slip into the ocean of tourists, linger unseen in Reading Terminal Market among the chatter and clatter of lunch. Nobody cared if I was new or local or just passing through; the city's attention was elsewhere. I'd always loved that about Philadelphia. It was big enough to hold every story without demanding I share my own.

"But you didn't love it?" She sighed. "I enjoyed winning. I liked the feeling of excelling at something. But the act of running? Pushing myself until my lungs burned and my legs felt like jelly, just so I could make my parents proud?" She shook her head. "I don't think I ever ran for me."

I think she felt trapped. Like no matter what she did—how high she rose, what awards she achieved—it wouldn’t be her success, it would be theirs.

KLARA AND THE SUN X BLACK MIRROR

An estranged friend group agrees to resurrect the girl they lost through a memory-mapping experiment, but the closer they get to her, the less they recognize themselves.

KLARA AND THE SUN X BLACK MIRROR
Years after losing Elysia, four friends rebuild her from memory only to discover their memories may be the lie that destroys them.

KLARA AND THE SUN X BLACK MIRROR
When a tech company offers friends the chance to resurrect the girl they lost using their memories, their attempt to bring her back unravels reality and forces them to question what it means to be human.

Maybe that's why I let her go. Because, to me, love had always been fleeting. Losing her on my own terms felt safer than waiting for her to realize she didn't feel the same.

And I didn't feel jealous of their close-ness. I didn't even feel angry about the years that had slipped away. I just missed my friend. The girl who used to meet me at the reservoir when her thoughts got too loud. The one who made up fake horror movie plots for people we didn't like. The one who always knew when I needed her—without me having to say it.
