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

28 November 2024
On this day, I not only performed my sixth Open Mic set but also met with my landlords to sign some documents. One of them, Tony, a 92-year-old who once was the Supreme Court Justice of Zimbabwe under Robert Mugabe, chatted with me along with his wife, Sue, our other landlord. They spoke kindly and encouraged me not to give up on writing, insisting I have a deep talent. “Never give up,” Tony said, adding that we are incredible tenants. Having someone of Tony’s stature believe in me and my work feels amazing. I’m deeply grateful for their encouragement. When it was time to leave, Tony shook my hand.

Sixth Floor Washrooms: Bay Blanket
TK is wearing a shirt that looks incredibly similar to the Hudson’s Bay Blanket—only missing one colour.
Punchline
I think TK only made it to the fifth floor.

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.
