Gone are the days the wind changes direction, Suddenly stuck in a storm, Begging for affection, Gone are the days you tie me down, Shackled weights of oppression, You watching me drown, Gone are the days the sun hides behind the clouds, Darkness sweeping in, True traits hiding in the crowds, Gone are the days…
To go far and be free
I dream a distant land, liberated from the shackles. Feel terrified, scared of people’s stares. Unsafe even in my own skin. Can’t speak what I urge, can’t listen to what I wish— bound even in choice. So, relocate to a place where I can restart, where I am a stranger, even to the winds drifting…
I’m not blind anymore, Prometheus
When Pandora’s box was opened And all the evils which now plague men Were released from her “box” There was one plague left; A tiny thing, too weak to roam Earth all on her own Too dangerous to be allowed to grow. Her siblings encased her in a virus’s code Which eventually infected human souls.…
I feel like this subreddit is full of writers. Not readers.
I am scrolling through different writing samples, and I barely see posts get any comments, and if they do, they are usually just chains. I constantly see story pieces with only 1 or 2 likes. If you can correct me or say that I am wrong, please do, but this is just how I am…
Bag of yellow Plastic tiles and unknown white powder found in attic
They were wrapped tightly in bubble wrap as if they were fragile. The powder seems like flour? The tiles have a texture on them. No idea what they could be, AI thinks possibly grout/adhesive pack mix submitted by /u/JapanSage [link] [comments]
The Interview (aka: performing stability in a beige terrarium)
I showed up ten minutes early because I’ve learned the hard way that time is a predator. The reception area is a terrarium of polite life: soft chairs, a plant that looks like it’s on a performance improvement plan, a bowl of mints that taste like regret. Everything is beige in the way people get…

The Dog Who Taught Me To Stay
TW: description of attempted suicide Darla. I will remember that dog’s name for as long as my lungs keep clocking in for work. Not because she was mine. Not because she belonged to a friend, a family member, or even a neighbor I pretended to like at block parties. Darla was a shelter dog—one of…
What kind of clothing is this cream knitted tube with two side slits that I thrifted?
The brand is Italian, called Calimar. My first thought was that it’s a sweater vest but it looks so strange worn like that that I’m wondering if I’m wearing it wrong. I searched on the brand’s website but found nothing similar. Could it be a cape or scarf? Which holes do I put my arms…
Gut-less
She was GUTLESS. A tiny bowl of worms in her body that only swallowed what she allowed it. Those worms would vibrate loudly if she did not feed them. They would eat her alive if she did not follow their instructions. She yearned for the poison. Begging her mother for it every night than to…
What if once a month you had to live an entire day as if screens didn’t exist?
No cell phone, TV, computer, or smartwatch. Just books, face-to-face conversations, walking, handwriting, and being a little bored. The idea isn’t to romanticize it, but to see what changes in your mind after 24 hours without constant stimulation. submitted by /u/MysterySweet69 [link] [comments]
I’m writing a musical about Arnold Schwarzenegger’s transition from Hollywood to politics.

Somewhere, Sometime, There Lived a Scribe, Forgotten by His Own God
The day started like any other, the sun rose, the air was hot and humid. His room was the same as last night; everything was in the same place: his bed, the bed linen, his books, his study table. The light brown wall behind the table held the books he used the most. Yellowed and…

Lemonade/beverage company opinions needed
A pipe dream of mine is starting a beverage company, starting with lemonade. But the name would be “Lemonayy”. The “-ayy” replacing “-ade” because I believe “ayy” is culturally relevant thanks to the internet and pop culture. My friends and I growing up would always say “ayy” to celebrate a success or even just say…
The Rider in the Reflection
The sound of hooves thundered through the valley, piercing the desert’s silent air. Craggy mountains stood as solemn witnesses to the growing cloud of dust beneath them. Were they slumbering giants, awoken by a sign of life they hadn’t known in eons? Only the mountains could say, and they did not speak. The horse charged…
AI + predictive modeling – does this stuff work?
We’ve been using GenAI for content and basic SQL queries, but I’ve been trying to find a way to use it for actual heavy lifting. Mainly for predictive modeling.

Would people actually use a “for the people” social media platform in 2026? I want your honest feedback.
With everything happening right now, including government pressure on platforms, unclear moderation choices, and algorithm changes that can harm creators overnight, it seems like trust in social media is at an all-time low. I’m considering building a new type of social platform, and before I move forward, I want straightforward feedback from people who understand…

How a Window Cleaning Business Made $79K/Month (And Why Your Industry Can Too)
So Brandon and Carter got laid off during COVID. Instead of doom-scrolling, they noticed something: service trucks were everywhere, but people hated dealing with them. No-shows, surprise charges, dirty boots through clean houses. They spent $153 at Home Depot and started cleaning windows in Austin. Fast forward to 2025: Pink’s Window Services is a multi-million…
Not Fireworks, Just Candlelight
I don’t want the kind of love that makes your stomach flip or your heart race—the kind that leaves you jittery, sweaty, or too giddy. I don’t want the kind of love that has you checking your reflection a dozen times, making sure every strand of hair is perfect. I don’t want the kind of…
