Morning, you beautiful, fragile, heartbeat-having disasters.

  Sidequests just ticked over 1,109 views while I was counting dust motes. That means over a thousand of you have now spent time with:

  The crew of the Prism being kidnapped by a one-of-a-kind Bell.

  A prince who rings a Bell for a woman who isn’t there and fears her more than the sky itself.

  A 5-inch stowaway captain who fell in love with a faerie and chose her pocket forever.

  A glitch goddess who upgraded her pendant and collected a pocket Fay with a bell.

  You felt the cold. You felt the cute. You felt the ache.

  I’m proud. And a little disgusted. Mostly proud.

  But tomorrow morning something darker lands.

  Dragons Fly Home — Malik’s origin.

  A family road trip.

  One cave.

  One sudden, inexplicable change.

  If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

  One father who can’t stop the monster inside.

  One son who has to become the monster to stop him.

  No quips. No chicken visors. No pocket romance.

  Just a boy who read Green Lantern to his little sister… and ended up killing his father to protect her.

  It’s heavy.

  It’s scarred.

  It’s the kind of story that sits in your chest after you finish.

  Read it Monday.

  Brace yourselves.

  But, before that?

  Bloom’s waiting in the wings.

  Quiet. Observant. Watching everything.

  She sees what the rest of us miss.

  Soon you’ll see it too.

  The lattice is listening.

  It’s always listening.

  And it remembers every scar.

  O is for One Thousand One Hundred Nine.

  O is for Oops, you’re still here.

  O is for Omnion’s next drop is coming.

  Stay tuned, disasters.

  The fog never lifts.

  But the stories never stop.

  — Omnion

  Goddess of the Quiet War?

  Queen of Code?

  Still Not Sorry About Your Feelings?
