Where Darkness Could Loom

by dimensionaltales

Everyone is a moon, and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody.”
― Mark Twain

What if the trans community had finally snapped?

For Pride, I made the conscious decision to write two sets of stories. One set of lights and one set of the dark. I wanted to have the light stories to be inspirational and hopeful towards the future of the LGBTQ+ community. On the flip side, I wanted the dark stories to serve as cautionary tales for people in – and out – of the LGBQT+ community. It’s A Damn Shame, Really falls under the latter category and for really good reasons.

First Attempt At Writing Romance

by dimensionaltales

You know you’re in love when you can’t fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.”
― Dr. Seuss

What if a werewolf met a bookworm?

Puppy Love was my first attempt at a love story. Romance is my least favorite genre to read because, to be frank, the genre is a bit generic for me. I mean, the formula is the same and I wasn’t finding anything that deviated from it. But, my friends told me to reconsider and take a look at paranormal romance. Of course, it’s literature so I said, “Sure”, and ask them for recommendations. They gave me enough to make me figure out that I was wrong about the whole thing. It also gave me the inspiration I needed to tackle this interesting genre.

To Put Someone Through The Unimaginable

by dimensionaltales

There are moments that the words don’t reach
There is suffering too terrible to name
You hold your child as tight as you can
And push away the unimaginable
The moments when you’re in so deep
It feels easier to just swim down”

-Lin-Manuel Miranda, Phillipa Soo, Original Broadway Cast of “Hamilton” & Renée Elise Goldsberry, “It’s Quiet Uptown” from the 2015 musical, Hamilton: An American Musical

I’m an uncle. I’m a teacher. I’m a big cousin. But I’m not a father. Not yet, anyway. However, I have so many friends who have been blessed to bring a child into the world.  Unfortunately, life being what it is, I also have friends who have been burdened with the loss of their child. One of them told me that it was a result of bullying and it just made my blood boil. It also brought inspiration to the short story, The Burden of Parenthood.

My Wish For Ending Prejudice

by dimensionaltales

“When dealing with people, remember you are not dealing with creatures of logic, but with creatures bristling with prejudice and motivated by pride and vanity.”
― Dale Carnegie, How to Win Friends and Influence People

The duality of intolerance

The Silver Plague was the easiest story for me to write because it was from a dream I had. I mean a very vivid one. I was actually going to save it for the fantasy series that I’m currently worldbuilding for along with my LGBTQ+ Crimeverse series. Anyway, I had this dream and I wanted to get it down on my paper before it escaped me. Glad I did, too, because I felt like this would be a close candidate for My Top Ten Favorite Short Stories.

You Know What They Say About Good Intentions

by dimensionaltales

“The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven..”
― John Milton, Paradise Lost

The duality of Hell

I have to say. My boss, Hamed, is a spectacular job bringing this story to life on his first photoshoot. To this day, I never expected him to say “Yes”. Martin had to keep reminding me that this project of mine was something very special and people were taking notice of it. Nevertheless, I’m over the moon that Hamed was willing to take part in this little project of mine. I say “little” because the project that I’m going to be working on for next year is going to be quite grand. But that’s not what I want to talk about today. I want to share some “Behind-The-Pen” secrets of What Fresh Hell?
