Feat of the Fallen
The Quest for the Fireheart
Silent as shadows, Raven and her crew infiltrated the opulent mansion. Their target: the legendary Fireheart Diamond, rumoured to hold the essence of a fallen star.
They stealthily approached the vault, navigating through security systems. Raven's heart quickened when she caught sight of the fabled gem.
Swiftly, the crew activated their devices and disabled the security mechanisms. Raven's gloved hand delicately touched the diamond, its warmth sending tingles through her fingertips.
But as she plucked the jewel, the room trembled. Alarms blared. A voice boomed over the intercom, "Intruders detected!"
Guards instantly flooded the corridor, wielding weapons. Raven and her crew quickly sprang into action.
Raven's heart raced as she darted through the chaos. Diamond in hand, she quickly slipped through a hidden passage, vanishing into the night.
The chase was on. Raven pursued through winding streets and treacherous rooftops. With each leap, she skillfully evaded capture.
Finally, she found refuge atop a clock tower. The diamond gleamed in her palm. She smirked.
The diamond was secured. Yet, Raven knew that the heist was far from over. This was only the beginning as she danced in the darkness and triumph of her legendary feat that the world will soon know.

Penning Hope
She stared at the blank page, her pen poised in her hand. She'd been sitting there for hours, but the words refused to come. She tried to remember why she wanted to be a writer in the first place, but all she could recall were the rejections, the failures, the empty notebooks. Maybe she was not meant to write stories after all. Maybe she should give up this dream.

Clinging to Childhood
The playground is empty, as it should be past sundown. There is a warm breeze, and I can see everything despite the late hour. What time is it, anyway? It could very well be past midnight. I can never keep track of time, especially in the summer. A prickly piece of popcorn hides like a stowaway in the left cup of my padded training bra. I stuffed the tissue in last minute— a decision I’m beginning to regret, based on the events that are unfolding rapidly before me. To my left, laying non-chalantly on his back, is my date for the evening. He is two years older, could probably grow facial hair if he wanted to, and drives a secondhand Honda. He may as well be a Man. I, on the other hand, feel like a fraud with my too-short short-shorts, sparkly lip gloss, and makeshift push-up bra. I keep my arms pinned to my sides as I feel the dreaded circles of sweat beginning to manifest on my brand new Abercrombie top. I cup my elbows with my hands and stare down at my hint of cleavage, praying that the tissue doesn’t pop out like a white flag surrendouring my lack of womanhood.

Miss Unsinkable
Imagine being enveloped by the icy grip of the ocean's waters, the sound of panicked voices ringing in your ears, and the sight of a ship sinking into the abyss below. For many, the mere thought of a shipwreck invokes fear and dread, but for one remarkable woman, it was a reality she faced not once, not twice, but three times. This is the incredible story of Violet Jessop, known affectionately as Miss Unsinkable.
