Just published this week's narration - "The Dream-Mold Wishing Well" by Nicholas Leonard. The story starts simple: old guy (Mr. Losefast) hires teenager (Vigo) to stack his wood. But, kid keeps falling asleep and having vivid dreams about a mysterious woman by the old well. Why does he have those detailed visions? What happens when Mr. Losefast loses consciousness right beside that same well? Listen to the story! Support me by subscribing to my channel, leaving a comment or by sharing my videos!

“Brooklynn and the Storm” is the rain-kissed tale of Luke, a quiet high schooler with a poetic soul and a thing for meteorology (!) —or more specifically, a storm that always seems to bring along a girl named Brooklynn.

Recently, I came across some poems by Nicholas Leonard on TikTok and was immediately struck by their honesty and depth. Nicholas is a writer from Massachusetts with whom I have the pleasure of collaborating on YouTube by narrating his stories.

There is a common denominator in the three poems, or better yet sonnets, I’m sharing —  the reclamation of authentic humanity against systemic dehumanization.

But those are just my thoughts. See what you make of them. Nicholas Leonard’s Note: “I like writing short stories and novels, but there’s something about writing sonnets that feels magical. It gives me that feeling I’d used to get in church when I was a little child, the feeling where...

Hello and welcome to another "analysis" of a Nicholas Leonard's story! This one is called "Kittens Exist"  and the word analysis is put into quotation marks cause I'm no literary expert. This post here is just my way of sharing my impressions and my thoughts on the story. So, "Kitten's Exist" is about a man called Matthew, who reluctantly goes to therapy after his mother's strong request. Why he goes there? Because he "had recently got back from a place that was taxing his soul" and his mental health had "insufficient funds to pay its taxes". What a description, right? Anyway, when he walks into the therapist's office what he finds there surprises him, cause he doesn't find a human but a kitten! And the kitten cures him. That's not the end of the story though, as Matthew returns in a week, only to find a human woman claiming to be his actual therapist. Things progress from there...
