The Tithe and the Toll
Miller pulled out a chair—a spindly, mismatched thing I’d salvaged from a dumpster and sat across from me with the grace of a king inhabiting a ruined throne. He leaned into my personal space, and for the first time in the flickering, jaundiced light of the basement, I saw the Tithe he wore. It wasn't a police badge or a municipal seal. It was a small, lapel pin made of blackened gold, shaped like a shattered vinyl record, jagged edges catching light like teeth.

Snapshots in the Dark
Insomnia and sleep deprivation were two things that plagued Morgan the most these past few years. He thought about going to see a doctor quite a few times, but decided against it and relied on over-the-counter medications. Medications that didn't do jack squat to help. When he didn't get any sleep, Morgan decided to use this time to work on things he had put off—a mini mountain of art projects, a TBR pile of manga, and house repairs. During the night, he would stay awake, and just a few hours before work, he would crash and sleep for about four and a half hours.
