Hi, I’m Jessica — still in my 20s, learning to balance writerhood and motherhood, one chaotic day at a time. I’ve been writing since I was 12, at most, and joined this site when I was about 15.
Speculative fiction is my first love (think sci-fi, fantasy, and anything a little strange), but I also dabble in the dark and twisty. Poetry, as well, and sometimes something harder to define.
I’m in Canada, but my roots stretch back to the UK through my mum, who was born and raised there. Happy to be part of this community.

This broke my heart. It’s beyond horrifying what was done to John Attard — in his own home, in his final days. I think about how many families trust care workers with their most vulnerable loved ones, and how impossible it must feel to suspect...

There’s something oddly tender here about folklore, myth, how rules get baked into stone (or sills), and how love - or absurdity - always finds a way around it. You had me fully invested in both the total collapse of society and the proper wear...

There’s something so soft and heat-soaked about this - like that drowsy golden feeling just before a storm.
Thanks for sharing :)

This was such a fun read!
The rhyme scheme carried it along so smoothly, and I loved Emma’s little act of rebellion at the end — the percussion choice felt perfect for her. There’s a cheeky kind of charm here, like the whole thing is...

I feel like I just watched someone slowly spiral in real time, but like… with charm and actual style! You have such a specific tone — funny and self-aware but also lowkey heart-wrenching underneath. The part about disappointing a friend...

Thank you so much — that means a lot! And you’re absolutely right, there is something a little sinister stirring beneath the surface. I’m really glad the descriptions landed for you — I’ve been trying to let the atmosphere do some of the...

Your descriptions are so vivid and physical, I felt like I was right there on the edge with him. Strong start!

Wow—thank you so much for Pick of the Day! That really means a lot, and it was such a lovely surprise. This entry was actually one of the trickier ones for me to write, just because of how I’m trying to balance each journal entry working on its...

This is devastingly beautiful.
That line about despair slipping in—not through storms but under the door—stopped me. Very personal and accurate. And the story about your mother and John… I don’t even have words. Her gesture didn’t fail...

This really resonated. You’ve captured not just the frustration but the human cost of all these changes with such clarity.
The line “People will die” echoed through the whole piece—it’s tragic because it’s true!
So many are...
