Weight . Content Warning.
The night was thick with the smell of rain, wet pavement, and the metallic scent of blood that clung to the air like a fog. Naomi’s vision was a fractured kaleidoscope of lights—red and blue flashing in an endless loop, the sound of sirens filling her ears. She couldn’t make sense of it, not yet. Her head felt too heavy, the weight of it like a stone lodged between her temples. A sharp pain knifed through her chest as she struggled to inhale, the tightness of her seatbelt digging into her body, but there was no escape.

Old Enough; Clara's Side
*To read this series from the beginning click here!* I watched as Aunt Pearl's taxicab pulled away from the curb and although I acted as if I was annoyed cousin Jolly was left home with me for the day, deep down I knew he might be needed. Truth is my bark is worse than my bite as they say; I ain't never bit nobody although I could give Jolly a good pinch now and then to calm his jumping bean bee-hind down. Letting Jolly into me and May's secret plans was a big to-do. How was I ever gonna trust his big ole mouth from blabbing away about me breaking the biggest rule ever: that being, never-ever-whatsoever go wandering down to Yonderville where white people dwelled. And second to that, never-ever-whatsoever hang around the train tracks.

The Guardian of Shadows. Content Warning.
Chapter 1: The Return of the Memories The wind whispered across the hills when Clara awoke. The air was fresh, and the city around her seemed unchanged, but something inside her was different. The emptiness in her mind, where the memories of Elias, Marcos, and the mystery of the seasons had once been, began to fill with a strange sensation. It wasn't just the landscape that seemed renewed, but Clara also felt as if she had been transformed.

The Iinglish of Dynya: Part 3
PART 2 HERE Pabbi was a content man. Too content, some would say. He did not weep alone at the altar on his wedding day, without bride or priest. He was the talk of Dynya, a man of sheer stoicism and unflappable restraint. Men would buy him drinks to hear his tale, pulling him off the streets and into shady bars, hoping to hear of a man with a strong will, untremblingly lip, and a renewed sense of bachelorhood. What they found, instead, was a bore.

100 Years Life in Solitude and Happiness
Benjamin is a man with a white beard and deep wrinkles on his face. His white beard and wrinkles prove that he is as old as he looks. He also has some scratches on his face, which he might have gotten while walking in the dense forest. He walks around with a charming and satisfied smile on his face. His shoes, which were given to him by a stranger, are now very old and worn out. They have small holes in them here and there. However, Benjamin still does not get rid of them because he has no other option. His clothes are also in very bad condition; his white shirt is dirty and torn in many places. They must have been shiny and new once, but now they are in very bad condition. Despite this, Benjamin is comfortable and happy inside. The old man carries an old and dirty bag on his shoulder. It barely contains food items and an old diary. The pages of his diary, which is now very dirty, have turned yellow and faded. This diary is his companion every evening, in which he records the events of his life. An old wristwatch, given to him by his father on his tenth birthday, is now tied to a thread and has not been opened for years. Despite this, Benjamin wears it on his wrist, as if holding a piece of the past. Benjamin's life is full of uncertainty. He struggles to eat two meals a day and often depends on the charity of others, who give him expired food. Sometimes, by chance, he finds fresh food and a place to spend the night, but these cases are rare. However, he has never prayed in his life. He has no fixed place to live; when he gets tired or when it is dark, he sleeps anywhere, whether under a tree, in an open space, or a public shelter. Thus, Benjamin embarks on an invisible and mysterious journey, in which no one knows what he is searching for. Benjamin's current situation is linked to a painful story from his past. Benjamin is no ordinary man. His grandfather, Henry, was a famous textile merchant. He was the sole heir to a large business empire. And his two cats, Misty and Tabby, are the stars of Benjamin's world. Benjamin's tenth birthday was approaching and the family had planned a special cruise to celebrate. The idea of a sea voyage made Benjamin's eyes shine and his heart excited. Everyone was ready for this trip, they dreamed of exploring a new world. It was a long journey. They had already made all the arrangements. The first two days of their journey were uneventful. Their huge ship was sinking in the Atlantic Ocean. They were now quite far out at sea, having covered about 300 miles in two days.
