Patchwork Pals

Snapshot of a CEO's heart

I'm 29 years old, nearly 30 and so far, my sister and Photography have been my life and soul. Ever since I stepped foot in my first darkroom during my Sophomore year I always had a hunch that this would be my true passion. Since I held my first camera. Set up my first tripod, captured my first photo and filmed my first piece. I just knew that this is what I wanted to do. My life has been a complicated mess since I was 10 years old. My life was thrown away by my parents because me and my sister were a burden to them, I hadn’t long started writing to my pen pal at this point, so I had a pen pal who I vented my anger out on for years without actually telling him what was going on in my life, yet he had become a huge part of my life. I haven't had a serious relationship in...well...ever and It's not every day that you find a man wanting to talk to you...granted, this man is the one who spilt his coffee down me the first time we met and from then on he became the Baine of my existence. I live in Texas City, Houston and I love what I do, the freedom it gives me being behind a camera but it also comes with a price when you least expect it. My life was complicated enough but when I vent out on a secret to this man, The CEO and annoying Pen pal kid who I had spent most of my childhood, teenage years and adult life, hating on… my feelings towards him become stir crazy and a whirlwind of emotions. One's I didn't want in the first place because 2 weeks before meeting said man...I was applying for a year long fellow ship abroad. A once in a lifetime opportunity to go to one of Spain's most explored and cultured cities - Barcelona.

Coldfire: A Touch of the Abyss

Aether is a patchwork of realities, stitched together with the coarse threads of fate. The High Ones feast on floating islands, flouting the laws of gods and men. The Low Ones rot in the stench of the underbelly, dreaming of a breath of fresh air. Between them lie countless layers of existence, where magic intertwines with despair. Into this chaotic world steps the Unknown. His face is hidden beneath a cowl, and in his eyes burns the cold fire of the Abyss. He is no hero, no savior; he is a catalyst for change, ruthless and hypocritical. The Unknown seeks no followers; he is a solitary figure. He wanders Aether, sowing the seeds of knowledge, but not out of noble intent. His gift is a curse, a trial that breaks the weak and elevates the strong. He asks for no payment, but the price of his lessons is blood, sweat, and tears. He whispers the secrets of the universe into the ears of the outcast, but cares nothing for their fate. He is a spark that can ignite the flame of hope or burn everything to ashes. The story begins with Kael, a young thief from the underbelly who overhears the Unknown conversing with a spirit. Words laden with ancient magic and forbidden knowledge ignite within him a spark of ambition. He begins to stalk the Unknown, seeking to glean his secrets. But the Unknown is no teacher in the conventional sense. He does not give lessons; he creates situations in which his "students" are forced to learn to survive, adapt, and overcome. Kael becomes an unwitting witness to the Unknown's actions, seeing how his "gifts" alter the destinies of others, shattering the old order and giving rise to new chaos. He realizes that the Unknown does not strive for balance; he craves destruction, the rebirth of the world in the fires of the Abyss. And Kael, intoxicated by the power that newfound knowledge grants him, becomes a part of this chaos. Kael's path intersects with others who have also been "blessed" by the Unknown's touch. Some descend into madness, others become tyrants, and still others become martyrs. Each of them is a tool in the Unknown's hands, a pawn in his game with reality. And Kael must decide who he wants to be – a pawn or a player. "Coldfire" is a story about the price of knowledge, the dark side of power, and how even in the most ruthless chaos, there is a perverse beauty. It is a story not of heroes, but of survivors, not of salvation, but of transformation, not of light, but of the cold fire of the Abyss that consumes all in its path.

path of the void : cultivatior of infinite knowledge

In a world where cultivation determines one's fate, Bhoumik Pal walks a path unlike any other—a path carved from the void itself. Born an orphan with no knowledge of his mysterious lineage, Bhoumik’s destiny takes a fateful turn when he enters the ancient Lotus Temple, a sanctuary of forbidden knowledge hidden deep within the mountains. Inside, he uncovers techniques that defy reality—arts of creation and destruction that even the gods fear. From the power to traverse realms to the destructive force of Shiva’s cosmic dance, Bhoumik learns secrets that grant immense power but come with unimaginable risks. But mastery is not instant. Each technique requires years of discipline, pain, and sacrifice. As Bhoumik rises to the peak of the Master Realm, his cold, emotionless demeanor hides a cunning mind and a growing thirst for truth. Armed with the Lotus Devouring of Infernal Void, he begins to devour life force and power, inching closer to the ultimate goal: transcending the mortal plane and uncovering the mysteries of the cosmos. Yet, the deeper he ventures into the abyss, the more dangerous his journey becomes. Rivals, ancient sects, and hidden enemies lurk in the shadows, waiting for him to stumble. To survive, Bhoumik must not only harness the infinite knowledge of the Lotus but also face the dark truths of his own origin. In a universe governed by power, knowledge, and ambition, only those who dare to walk the path of the void can truly ascend. But will Bhoumik's quest for infinite knowledge lead to ultimate enlightenment—or eternal oblivion?

Echoes of Madness: Fragments of Us

David's life is a patchwork of shadowed memories and broken whispers, a canvas painted with the bruises of his past. As a child, the haven of his grandparents' home became his refuge, a lighthouse guiding him away from the storm of his early life. But the scars run deep, etching a map of fear that leads him into the wilderness of his own mind. Enter Sarah—her smile, a dawn of new hope; her presence, a melody that soothes the cacophony of David's internal chaos. With her, David tastes the sweetness of joy long-forgotten, his world awash with newfound color. Yet, happiness is a horizon ever fleeting; when his grandmother's death shatters the calm, David is plunged once again into the abyss. The bottle becomes his silent confidant, the numbness a cruel solace. Time warps around him, a mocking echo of stability he yearns for. In Sarah's shadow, paranoia blooms—a thorny vine wrapping its deceit around his thoughts. The spiral tightens; reality fractures. David stands on the precipice, gazing into the void where reality and delusion meld and warp. His life, a tightrope walk between sanity's edge and the depths of madness. Can David navigate the labyrinth of his own psyche and emerge into the light, or will the darkness claim him in its silent embrace? This is not just a love story; it is a descent into the very heart of human fragility—a tale of one man's harrowing odyssey through the mind's darkest corridors in search of the elusive sunrise of peace.
