whether or not a person develops empathy is dependent on a number of factors, not all of which we can control

kindness and compassion, on the other hand, are choices we make, and the only way to turn them into habits is to choose them over and over

TRANTORIAN DREAM (1983)
Acrylic on Watercolor Board - 30" X 22"

Above the dreary spectacle of Trantor reduced to rubble, the protagonist gazes at the enigma of the Galaxy and attempts to divine its future course. 1/5

Two weeks ago, I went to my nearest indie bookshop to exchange a book I already owned. I got home and realised that the book I'd gotten in exchange...I also already had.

Quoting this post so I can keep going back to the thread and read the stories and decide if I agree with the hot takes.

One of my favorite things about gothic horror is the slow unraveling of self. The "real or not real?" that the character doesn't even think to play, but that the reader notices all the same.
