Good morning! Join me for a cup of coffee?

The air tastes like iron tonight.
The moon isn’t full yet—but close enough that my bones already hum beneath my skin. I can feel the pull, low and steady, like a heartbeat I don’t remember being mine.

You humans call it superstition.
I call it appetite.

So drink your coffee while you can,
because tomorrow, when the moon is full…
I’ll be hungry.

Today's Frightful Thursday Coffee Fact - The Dead Can Hear

Doctors have discovered that in the moments after death is declared, the brain may still process sound. Which means… the dead can hear.

Imagine whispering your final goodbyes. Imagine the silence answering back—while somewhere, in that fading darkness, they still listen.

If death has ears, what do you want your last words to be?
