You are not the sum of your struggles. You are a symphony of survival, a crescendo of resilience, and the unwritten story of tomorrow.

Life is a Short Story
Winters Coming
Winters Coming
I was walking on Jervis Street toward Pendrell.
Crows were cawing.
“Caw. Caw.”
A little dog was barking.
“Ruff. Ruff.”
At the corner in front of a church, an elderly lady sat on a bench. I'd guess she was about 90. I was going to say 85, but I think 90 sounds funnier. She was trying to comfort her barking dog by petting it. She wore glasses, with one lens covered in black duct tape.
She was speaking to her dog. “Never mind them; they are just doing what they do. And besides, winter is coming soon, and they will be gone for a few months—making this less stressful for you.”
You can finish the story.
Until next time, pay attention. If you just listen, you'll discover beautiful gems floating through the air all around us.
And remember, you never know what others are going through.

There comes a point in life (maybe an age) where if we are not spending most of our time cultivating our passions and chasing our dreams—eventually, you'll become nothing more than small talk.

The last time Wincherauk applied for work, he said the internet didn’t exist.
“You’re right at age purgatory because for every menial [job] I’m overqualified for and everything that I’m qualified for, nobody’s going to [hire] somebody my age,” he said.
“And it doesn’t matter how hard you try. If no door opens, what happens?”

I suspect our collective digital obsession has dulled our ability to listen and empathize truly.

Wincherauk’s Signature Blend: A Roaring River of Thought
Wincherauk’s pen is not merely a stream of consciousness but a roaring river—a torrent of unbridled imagination, racing, creating, and overflowing with brilliance. A rich fantasy land emerges within this powerful flow, interwoven with reality, where parallel universes collide. This collision brings readers a delicious blend of what is, what could be, and a vision of a better world—romantic fiction that transcends the ordinary.
Wincherauk’s narratives are infinite cascades of ideas draped in empathy, compassion, and profound understanding. It is an island of kindness in the vast ocean of literature. His work is not just writing; it is a symphony of thoughts, a harmonious blend that sings to the soul, making the world a better place, one page at a time.
