A Reaper's Philosophy

Seventeen-year-old Grayson has endured a harrowing childhood, leaving him with a dark and twisted philosophy. Driven by this painful doctrine, he imposes his skewed beliefs on everyone and everything around him. His malevolent actions draw the attention of an ancient evil, an entity wrapped in darkness and legend. This being sees in Grayson the potential to carry on its legacy. As the ancient evil begins to mold Grayson for a future drenched in darkness, he finds himself drawn deeper into a web of manipulation and control. Questioning whether he has the strength to defy the fate that has been thrust upon him. Theós, an ancient deity whose origins are lost to time, rules with an iron grip, instilling fear and absolute control over those who dare challenge him. "If it is not within Theós' plan, it cannot be done!" Will Grayson succumb to the darkness consuming him, bow to the unyielding rule of Theós, or will he find the courage to carve out his own destiny? The battle for his soul has begun, and the outcome will not only determine his future, but the fate of all those around him. I will be posting this story on RoyalRoad.com

Dr. Janitor: PhD in Mop Philosophy

Everett Vale is a janitor… with a PhD. Not a doctor. Not a nurse. Not anyone you'd notice—unless your floor's on fire, your toilet's rebelling, or your soul’s quietly unraveling at 2 a.m. in the hallway. Told through the eyes of Noah, a nursing assistant just trying to make sense of the chaos, this story blends hospital absurdity with unexpected wisdom. Between scent-obsessed coworkers, haunting memories, and mop buckets full of metaphor, Dr. Janitor: PhD in Mop Philosophy explores what it really means to heal—not just bodies, but the quiet spaces people never talk about. It’s a story about messes. About grief, hope, and finding family in unlikely places. About saints in scrubs and unsung heroes with calloused hands and tired eyes. It’s about learning that sometimes the person cleaning up the mess understands the brokenness better than the one trying to fix it. If you’ve ever felt overlooked, if you’ve ever laughed in the middle of heartbreak, or if you’ve ever believed that the quietest voice in the room might just be the one that matters most—this book is for you.

Lao Tzu's Inner Monologue

Chapter 20 of the Tao Te Ching reflects Lao Tzu's inner monologue. The original text is as follows: How much is the difference between the two? What is the difference between good and evil? What people fear cannot be feared. It's too wild, too young! Everyone was cheering, as if enjoying a prison, as if climbing a stage in spring, but I was alone, and there was no sign of it, just like a baby who had not yet been born, as if I had no place to go. Everyone has more than enough, but I don't have enough. This is the heart of a fool. The layman is clear, but I am confused; The layman is clear, but I am confused. It's as light as the sea, and it's as if it's endless. Everyone has a reason, but I'm stupid and mean. I am different from others, but I value eating my mother. The translation was: What was the difference between a respectful response and a slow response? What was the difference between beauty and ugliness? I have to be afraid of what everyone fears. The path was deep and distant, as if it had no end. Everyone was in high spirits, as if they were attending a grand banquet, as if they were on stage in spring to admire the beautiful scenery. I alone am indifferent to peace, confused, like a baby who does not yet know how to laugh. Luo Luo didn't belong to the group, like a prodigal son who couldn't find a home. Everyone had something left over, but I didn't seem to have anything. I really only have the heart of a fool!
