In Memory of Squidward
A six-inch, rubber-legged tripod named Squidward never asked for attention, but for nearly two years he showed up for every moment that mattered.
Monsters at Midnight
Monsters at Midnight January 3, 2026 Monsters at Midnight is an uneven but revealing short-story collection—one that ultimately feels more like a document of growth than a fully realized whole.
