Hi friends,
I’m stepping back a bit to actually build Crown City, word by word. Here’s a short Sora clip: two detectives at Clyde’s Seaside Grill, neck-deep in a murder case. This is the vibe of the book/film I’m working on. ©Akira Ash.

The house quiet, everyone inside.
No prophecy. No instructions.
Just warmth passed down like a password.
Three ingredients saying:
Stay. Here. With us.

We parked.
Warm night air.
No last detours.
His palm on my cheek.
I guided it to my heart.
“I hope he loves you more than I do.
And I hope you let him.”
The door opened.
His hand slipped away.

Guijie at one, then two, then four.
Chili smoke. Hot pot steam.
Tables quieting when he leaned back to listen.
Not charming.
Just present.
The kind of presence that makes you feel
already chosen.

Beijing still shines—bright, glassy, proud.
But the air is thinner.
This isn’t nostalgia.
This is evidence.
The air still remembers.
As do I.

PARKING LOT — AFTER
Marlboros burned between our fingers.
Sodium lights turned the asphalt honey-colored.
“I feel so powerless,” I said.
“Twenty years teaching democracy—and I can’t define it without choking on it.”

Michael: “Let’s all say something we LIKE about each other!”
. . .
Beth: “I like that you’re portable.”
Gemma: “You’re loud—easy to find.”
Tony: “You don’t know who I am. That’s rare.”
Dexter: “Nice mug.”
Michael thinks he’s been accepted. He has not.

Gemma: “Sit down before somebody decides you’re décor.”
Tony: “Who brought the guidance counselor?”
Dexter: “Would not wrap well.”
Omar (grinning): “Wrong episode, boy.”

scene("Clyde’s Seaside Bar — OPEN 24×7 — storm chewing on the awning.")
Private room, 1:19 a.m.
Thunder outside. Jazz leaking under the door.
Everyone’s pretending not to size up the others’ pulse.

She stares at it like it’s the ghost of one.
She takes a slow drag, taps ash into a Waterford creamer.
Even her vices are neat.
Her shoulders tremble.
She presses both hands over her eyes. Tears fall—unhidden, silent.

MORNING—
Jake Hunter comes home from the night shift. She’s in the kitchen flipping eggs while the twins chase cereal.

From gloom to glitter—
this is what happens when a Gen X cynic tries happiness,
armed with rhyme, rhythm, and mild disbelief.

Anyway, enjoy my descent into cheerfulness.
I can totally be happy 😏

Because Houses are Houses
when people take care;
gold’s only glitter
without common air.
We bring back the Thing
that a good House brings—
light over flash, work over show.
🏛 Show up. Be bold. Grow the House.

By the fence, small voices asked:
“Who’s footing this glitter?
Who shoulders the strain?
Who keeps the House steady
in blizzards of clout?”
Stone keeps a ledger
of what’s taken out.

Clip-stamp went the memos,
tip-tap went the toes;
kids whisper-wow’d the hallways,
and hush held its nose.
Files filed, staples went pling—
quiet kept quiet, a sensible thing.
