Inspiration

εὐφορία (Euphoria). Content Warning.
There is a sadness that lives within the tremendous euphoria of being Queer. A lifetime of at least some shred of disappointment or fear for our differences and what that means for our safety and happiness. But it isn’t because being Queer is bad. Not at all. It is an unbelievably special and beautiful thing that no one can take away from us. But it is a difference, and a very distinct one thanks to culture wars and the wide spread of misinformation. That’s what makes it so hard. That invalidating external - everything and everyone else who does not care to understand. We say Pride is all year round, but that is not yet true. Because, if we are still struggling to claim Pride year round in a safe way, still demanding change by protesting the murder of countless LGBTQ+ people, especially our trans siblings, then, no, we do not have Pride year round.

Do you remember me? When you first found me, I was curled into myself at the bottom of a box. No inhale or exhale. No oxygen at all.

Among the ruins
Another beach, Elijah sighed, gazing out across the vast plain of a thousand liquid mirrors that came to a foamy end on the grey-white sand on Mon Repos beach. Elijah and his three friends had been on the island of Corfu for almost a week now, and on several other Greek islands before that. In all that time, Elijah's friends had wanted to do nothing except lie on the sand, swim in the turquoise sea, and ogle the bevy of foreign beauties frolicking in the water, whereas all Elijah wanted to do was explore. Elijah and his friends had booked a trip because they had all wanted to experience Greece, but once they arrived, it became painfully apparent that they all wanted to experience it in different ways.

The Forgotten Symphony
Chapter 1: The Haunting Melody In the heart of a small, forgotten town named Harmonyville, there stood an abandoned music hall. Once a vibrant hub of artistic expression, it now lay in ruins, its grandeur diminished by time and neglect. Amongst the debris and shattered glass, a lone piano stood as a symbol of a forgotten era. Rumors whispered through the town that the music hall was haunted, that the ethereal strains of a forgotten symphony could still be heard within its walls.
