Fifteen minutes ago, William left his apartment for some food. Now he’s returned.
The intruder is tall. Will feels alarmed. He hurries back downstairs, opens his garage, and gets into his car to retrieve the pepper spray he keeps in his glove compartment. The loud snoring of the tent guy next door goes completely unnoticed as he retrieves his self-defense weapon. He returns to his front door, slowly…
He stands there, staring at the pot for what feels like half an hour, until his phone rings.
He lifts his drooping head and brings his gaze magnetically to the cleavage of a large breasted woman featured in the police story on the news. The male officer was speaking to the female news anchor while a redacted head shot was placed on the screen to the right of them. All William could focus…
As Will made his way toward the checkout, weaving through the aisles, a flash of recognition stopped him cold.
Down one aisle, a man, uncannily like the bearded stranger from last night, stood studying a bag of fertilizer, now dressed in a sharp suit and tie. The colored braids were gone, his beard neat and ordinary. Will hesitated, uncertain. Was it really him? He turned back for another look, but the man had already…
He opened the container again. To his amazement, all the beans lay loose. The plastic bag had vanished.
His breath hitched, and he slammed the lid shut, heart pounding, stomach twisting with nervous energy. For a long moment, he just stared, blinking, struggling to process what he’d seen.
The fridge is across from the stove. He opens it, revealing an almost barren interior except for two items:
William grabs CannaBracula and places it on his old yellow Formica counter top next to the stove. He opens the cabinet above, and pushes to the side his Weight Mate meal replacement powder and pulls down from the top shelf an old 1980s Transformers lunch pail with Optimus Prime on the lid. Opening it, he…
He pulls into a dark alley laced with broken glass, reeking dumpsters, and the stench of human waste left behind by drunks and addicts.
Decorating both sides of the alley are cars and trucks, some jammed against the curb, others barely within the lines. William gets lucky this time: no one’s blocking his garage. He stops the car, unlocks the old wooden door, and lifts it with a creak. As he walks back to the driver’s seat to pull…
Her eyes twinkle as she smiles. “Can I help you find something special today?”
“I recommend the Sci-Fi/Fantasy novel Scripture. The owner said she mysteriously received a copy one quiet Sunday morning just as she opened the store. It’s about a magic pencil that can create doorways into other worlds. It can summon gods, fairies, gnomes, and other magical beings and even weave powerful spells.”
The Hermetic Origins of Hellenistic Astrology
Hellenistic astrology emerged in Egypt in the 2nd century BCE, representing a profound synthesis of the older Mesopotamian and Egyptian astrological traditions.
“Sorry, ma’am, I didn’t mean to mess up your books. I’ll put them back.”
Inside, the bookstore’s walls and ceiling were laced with intricate patterns that resembled the roots of an ancient, enchanted tree. Soft amber light filtered through hidden lamps, casting shadows that seemed to shift and dance on their own. The air carried the scent of old paper, warm cedarwood, and something sweeter, a hint of pipe…
What is Alchemy?
Alchemy is an ancient philosophical and proto-scientific tradition that flourished from antiquity through the early modern period, primarily concerned with the transmutation of matter, the pursuit of immortality, and the perfection of nature.
After passing a few shops, the red-bricked walkway veered right and ended at three steps leading to a solid green wooden door.
The building’s exterior blended earthy tones of green, brown, and silver. Artificial molding shaped like twisting tree roots ran down the sides, with the center resembling a massive tree trunk. Perched at the top was a small tree house adorned with carved wooden owls,squirrels, birds, cats, and turtles. Hanging just above the entrance door, beneath…
What are the Hermetic Principles?
The Hermetic Principles are a set of seven philosophical axioms, considered to be universal laws, that form the foundation of Hermeticism. This esoteric tradition is attributed to the teachings of Hermes Trismegistus, a syncretic figure combining the Greek god Hermes and the Egyptian god Thoth. The principles were most famously compiled and popularized in the…
He returns to his desk, tucks away his glasses, and pulls off the mask.
As he slides on his headset, the phone’s light blinks at him. His finger is just about to press the answer button when the Dragon Lady appears at his cubicle, her expression as unforgiving as ever.

…Once William finally reaches the hallway leading to the server room, he sees that there is no door protecting it.

“William Butler, how may I help you?”
“I’m trying to change my background. Can you help me?” the female caller asks. Her rural accent reminded him of a girl he encountered years ago, who delighted in scouring flea markets and antique shops, eagerly filling shelves with old cracked milk bottles.
August 12th 2026 New Moon Solar Eclipse & Planetary Parade
August 12, 2026 brings several real astronomical events together, but there’s an important distinction: the solar eclipse and New Moon are physically the same Sun–Moon alignment, while the “planetary alignment” is a separate visual gathering of planets across the sky, not the planets literally forming one straight line in space.
“In prison, a security guard locks and unlocks all the doors for you. At work, you have to carry around a security card and unlock and open all the doors yourself.”
“In prison, a security guard locks and unlocks all the doors for you. At work, you have to carry around a security card and unlock and open all the doors yourself.”
“That’s interesting, sir…” William tried his best to cut in, but with no luck.
As the caller rambled on, William glanced at the small round mirror taped to the upper left corner of his stained beige computer monitor.
It all begins on a Wednesday afternoon, at a small desk inside a cramped, grimy office trailer.
