The Soft Spot
The restaurant looked clean.
White paper on the tables. Hot coffee. Desserts under glass. A respectable little place tucked behind a theater.
Vinny knew better by the end of his first shift.
The owner smiled through everything. The chef ruled the kitchen like a filthy little king. Regulars grabbed waitresses, laughed it off, and ordered another drink.
After closing, the coke came out. The affairs stopped hiding. The room belonged to whoever was left inside—and nobody was coming to stop them.
Vinny sees all of it.
He tells himself he is different. That he is the only one still bothered.
Then the restaurant gives him room to prove it.
Every shift gets uglier. Every night follows him home. And when Vinny finally stops watching, The Soft Spot gets exactly what it has been asking for.
Some rooms are not haunted.
They are staffed.

The Unattributed
The Soft Spot looked clean. White paper on the tables. Coffee hot. Desserts under glass. A polished little restaurant tucked behind a theater, the kind of place where customers came to feel civilized for an hour before going home. Vinny, a budding fiction writer, knew better by the end of his first shift. The owner smiled through everything. The chef ruled the kitchen like a filthy little king. Regulars put their hands where they didn’t belong. Waitresses cried in service stations and went right back to pouring coffee. After closing, the room changed hands, and the people left inside did what people do when they know nobody is coming to stop them. Vinny sees all of it. The jokes. The grabs. The coke. The affairs. The cheap little humiliations everyone calls "part of the business." He tells himself he is different. He tells himself he is the one person in the room still bothered by what should bother everyone. But the longer he works at The Soft Spot, the more the place gives him room to practice the worst parts of himself. Every shift gets uglier. Every night follows him home. Every person in the restaurant becomes part of the same dirty machine. And when Vinny finally stops watching, The Soft Spot gets exactly what it has been asking for. Some rooms are not haunted. They are staffed. This experience feels like a scene from a true crime novella, with every shift resembling the dark twists found in thrillers. Vinny finds himself entangled in a narrative that echoes the themes explored by V Le Chenz, a writer known for weaving philosophical elements into his literary fiction.

Disney's Last Words
Walt Disney died with one name on his lips.
Everyone knows the name.
Nobody knows why.
Until now.
While clearing out the abandoned offices of a shuttered animation studio, contractor Vinny DeCarlo discovers a steel door hidden behind a false wall.
Inside is a sealed archive filled with private notebooks, restricted files, damaged images, and records someone went to extraordinary lengths to bury.
Then Vinny finds a folder marked RUSSELL.
What begins as curiosity becomes an obsession. The deeper he enters the archive, the more the documents seem to anticipate the person reading them. Every answer leads to another warning. Every discovery makes the familiar name harder to explain.
Some secrets are hidden to protect the truth.
Others are hidden to protect whoever finds it.
Disney’s Last Words is a psychological thriller about faith, recognition, and the question that has followed Kurt Russell for decades:
Why did Walt Disney write his name?

Epigraph
Most of these are stories born from the cold files and wreckage of real life, fictionalized only to make them hit harder. As a fiction writer, I delve into the depths of human experience, crafting novellas and thrillers that resonate deeply. I don’t write to be studied, and I don't write to preach. I write to be felt, and yes, yes, yes... I absolutely need you to feel my pain, especially when it draws from the true crime that surrounds us.
