Third-Term Project For Trump 2028
February 2025. Oxon Hill, Maryland. The lobby of the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center. A man in a dark gray suit stopped in front of the display board. He ran the pad of his index finger across the poster's surface—the ink wasn't fully dry, and a smudge of black stained his fingertip. He turned to his companion and tilted his chin up. "Caesar." The companion stepped closer. They stood silent for two seconds, then the companion pulled out his phone and took a picture.

Kung Fu Soccer--Bad Movie Review
After the 2016 Lunar New Year, Stephen Chow's accountant called with a number: The Mermaid had earned 3.392 billion yuan at the mainland box office. Chow sat by the window of a private club in Central, Hong Kong. Outside, Victoria Harbour lay flat and grey-blue. He didn't smile. He didn't stand up. He hung up the phone and ordered a bowl of wonton noodles. When the noodles arrived, he stuck his chopsticks upright into the bowl and stared at them for a long time.

Molasses
Sweet in sound, sticky to the touch. To the tip of our tongue. To cross words and become crass. Minced words, eyes wandering; some of these folks smoke too much grass.

The Dress She Never Wore—Until He Walked Into the Fitting Room
Almost Primitive Eroticism The third time Emily went into the fitting room, she glanced at the mirror in the corner. The skin above her collarbone had already broken out in fine goosebumps from the air conditioning. She tugged the left strap back into place. The zipper was still undone.

The TikTok Star Accused Me of Assault. The Security Footage Told a Different Story.
The keyboard cover in the MRI control room had a missing corner. Marcus stared at that worn‑out notch. Last life, same notch. The machine’s hum hadn’t started yet, but the sweet smell of contrast dye hit his nose first, gadolinium, like metal, like industrial sugar. He remembered that smell. He shouldn’t.

I Stopped Paying for Mockup Subscriptions. Here Is the Free Workflow I Use Now.
Last winter I sat down to pay my bills. One line made me stop. It was a mockup subscription. I was paying every month to drop my posters into nice scenes. I had not opened the app in weeks. The math felt silly. So I canceled it.

PiCatso
I didn’t know he was an aspiring artist. He had gone upstairs and disappeared for a while. I thought he was taking a nap, but I was apparently wrong. A couple of hours later, when I thought it was odd that he had been gone so long, I went up to see if he was still napping. That’s when I found out my orange tabby was a pastel artist.

Being Born Cancer
Being born Cancer There’s this word called a Zodiac sign. Most seem to be adamant that this word exists or neither does it live. Well I would’nt specifically cast stones upon them for not casually believing in star signs, I mean who still believes in stars. In my own tiny mind along with its character traits, Zodiac signs are living within us and they are who we certainly are. Let me breath air to earth about being born cancer. Wait, hold it there we still on Zodiac signs right “lol” cause I see someone is already thinking of which stage I was born with.
