Welcome to Bones, Code, and Wildflowers—a gathering place for the stories that bloom in strange terrain.
This is where stories live between the organic and the artificial; where broken machines remember love, where wild things grow in scorched landscapes, and where poems echo from both stardust and circuitry. Here, you'll find science fiction fragments, poetic reveries, and short stories woven from longing, defiance, and the quiet whispers of love.
If you’ve ever felt caught between systems; if you’ve ever searched for beauty in bleak places, then you’ve already been here.
