Kill Me, Love Me

Vivian_Chisom
She served him coffee. He gave her chaos. What neither expected was love. Lana Monroe has built her life around routine, resilience, and the cozy charm of her café. Owning a small coffee shop was never the grandest dream, but it was hers and it was safe. That is, until Caleb Stone walks in one rainy night with his intoxicating smile, mysterious eyes, and a taste for triple hazelnut mochas. A powerful businessman with secrets stitched into every crisp suit, Caleb isn't the kind of customer who blends into the background. As his nightly visits turn from coincidence to ritual, Lana finds herself drawn into a slow-brewing connection she never saw coming. But when walls begin to fall, so do truths and one impulsive night leads to a consequence neither of them can ignore. Now pregnant with a man she barely knows, Lana must navigate the delicate path between independence and vulnerability. And Caleb, caught between the world he's built and the woman who's unraveling it, must decide: is love something you choose… or something you risk everything for? In a world of spilled coffee, shattered expectations, and unexpected tenderness, KILL ME, LOVE ME is a slow-burn romance full of raw emotion, emotional growth, stolen glances, and the complicated beauty of choosing love in the most uncertain circumstances.

Gods of Pangaeos

In the mist before GENESIS, Fate and Chance and Others cast tolls upon their names, while the chalice did burn and churn whose crown should be. And he that won strode through the mist unto YOD-VAV-HEH and cried: “Lo, wake upon the mist and create the heavens and the earth and make gods for me, for I have won over the crown and thy mist is mine to rule.” And so as the cry was heard Fate and Chance and Others bowed, But whether it was Fate or Chance or Another that won the cast of the tolls before GENESIS—none-knoweth. .............................................................. Welcome to Gods of Pangaeos. ​This work is a reimagining of the creation myth, written as a stylistic marriage between the liturgical structure of Genesis and the high-fantasy, rhythmic prose of Lord Dunsany’s The Gods of Pegāna. ​In this world, the Creator is a sleeper, and the world we know is merely a "Game" played by smaller, whimsical deities during His slumber. You will find echoes of our own earth’s deep past—Pangaea, Panthalassa, and Gondwana—woven into a tapestry of myth and "The Word." ​A Note on Style: The text uses archaic phrasing and repetitive structures to mimic ancient holy books. If the gods seem cruel or indifferent, remember: to them, we are but the pieces on a board. ​I hope you enjoy the "Game." ​Art Disclaimer ​Cover Illustration: "MANA-YOOD-SUSHAI" by Sidney Sime (1906). ​ ​Note on the Artwork: The illustration used for this cover is a masterpiece by Sidney Sime, originally created for Lord Dunsany’s The Gods of Pegāna. As this artwork was published over 100 years ago, it resides in the Public Domain. ​While the image originally depicted the deity Mana-Yood-Sushai, it has been chosen for this work to represent the Great Stillness of YOD-VAV-HEH. I use this art as a tribute to the golden age of mythic illustration that inspired the tone of Gods of Pangaeos.
