Tens of millions of children in the United States participate in youth sport, a pastime widely believed to be part of a good childhood.

16:32

Why I came up with this story. I worry about what we’re handing our children. Not just phones and tablets, but the digital realms they open: worlds that begin by adding to life, but slowly start to replace it. Curated, addictive, relentless. Social media promises fun, connection, identity. And at first, that’s exactly what it delivers. But too ofte…

I created this short story in the days following the election of Pope Leo XIV, inspired by the quiet courage and gentle presence of Cardinal Prevost as he begins his new chapter in Rome.

What would you do if you stumbled on a sign warning you not to pass? Not a flimsy warning—but one carved in stone, written in Latin, perched above a crumbling gate that leads deep into a dark and ancient forest. Would you obey?

What happens when the Room of Tears hides more than just vestments—and opens into a world of snow, silence, and saints?

I finally watched Twisters, the sequel to one of my guilty pleasures: the 90s classic Twister. And honestly? It left me feeling... underwhelmed.
