Humanity
The Road to Hell. Runner-Up in I Made It Worse Challenge.
Framing Hanley blasted through my cheap headphones that I used at work. I had been mopping for what felt like forever... the guys in the labs had really trashed the place today, and of course the night crew—me and old Ed, who could barely move and just really hung on to the cleaning cart that squeaked all the way up and down the halls—got stuck with all the work.

I Thought It Needed Water
The plant looked dry. That’s important context, because I’d like it noted from the start that my intentions were good. Negligent people don’t notice dryness. Negligent people walk past suffering every day. I noticed. I acted. If anything, this situation began with empathy.

I Am a Public Health Practitioner and I Am Exhausted — Here Is What I Know About Why You Are Too
You didn't get into this field for the money. Nobody does. You got in because somewhere — in a classroom, in a community, at a funeral you attended too young — something clicked. You understood that health was not a personal failing. That zip codes determine life expectancy more than genetic codes. That the water people drink, the air they breathe, the food they can afford, the stress they absorb — all of it is political. All of it is preventable. And you decided that knowledge was too important to keep to yourself.

I Have Achieved Nothing On Vocal
Introduction The title is pure clickbait but I look at my friends' profiles and see their Vocal achievements, first place in this challenge, runner up in that challenge and so so on then look at the blank space on mine. This piece is going to be super positive.

The Phantom Who Listened Beyond Language
Before I start writing, I always open YouTube and search for a song or a soundtrack to listen to. Today, I found a song I used to hear during my childhood. Back then, as a Moroccan child, I did not understand the lyrics at all - I was only fascinated by the feeling of the song itself. It felt as if the child within me chose what to listen to instinctively.

Dade: Chapter 1
I was popular in high school for, like, one second. I spent most of my life as an outcast but for one brief and long-awaited tour of being well-liked. And it was all thanks to my friend, Dade. He was handsome and funny and kind, and he liked all the coolest bands and movies. Everyone loved him, and being friends with him made me cool by extension.

Who Is the Killer of the World?
Who Is the Killer of the World? The world is a beautiful place filled with mountains, rivers, forests, oceans, animals, and billions of human beings. Nature provides everything needed for life: clean air, fresh water, food, and shelter. However, today the world is facing serious problems such as pollution, war, climate change, hunger, violence, and destruction of natural resources. Many people ask an important question: “Who is the killer of the world?” The answer is simple but painful. Humans themselves are becoming the biggest killers of the world through greed, selfishness, hatred, and carelessness.
