ENJOY!
In the lively neighborhood of Brookside, where the scent of spices mingled with the aroma of freshly baked bread, there lived two souls caught in the tangled web of forbidden love: Maya and Ali. Maya was a spirited Christian woman with a heart as big as her smile, while Ali was a gentle Muslim man with a quiet strength that belied his years.
From the moment they met, there was a spark between them—a connection that transcended the boundaries of religion and culture. They spent countless hours together, laughing and talking as if the world outside didn't exist.
One warm summer evening, as they sat on the steps of the local mosque, the topic of conversation turned to matters of the heart.
"You know, Maya," Ali said, his voice tinged with nervousness, "I've been meaning to tell you something."
Maya looked up, her eyes meeting his with a mixture of curiosity and anticipation. "What is it, Ali? You can tell me anything."
Ali took a deep breath, steeling himself for what he was about to say. "I... I think I have feelings for you. More than just friendship, I mean."
Maya's heart skipped a beat as she processed his words, her mind racing with a million thoughts. She had always felt drawn to Ali, but she never dared to imagine that he felt the same way about her.
"Ali, I... I feel the same," she admitted, her voice barely above a whisper.
Relief flooded through Ali's veins as he let out a breath he didn't realize he was holding. "Really? You mean it?"
Maya nodded, a shy smile tugging at the corners of her lips. "Yes, Ali. I mean it."
But their moment of happiness was short-lived, as the reality of their situation came crashing down around them. They knew that their love was forbidden—a forbidden fruit too tempting to resist, yet too dangerous to taste.
"You know we can't be together, Maya," Ali said, his voice heavy with sorrow. "Our families... they would never accept it."
Maya's heart sank at the thought of a life without Ali by her side. "I know, Ali. But does it have to be this way? Can't we find a way to make it work?"
Ali shook his head, his expression filled with resignation. "I wish it were that simple, Maya. But our religions... they're too deeply ingrained in who we are. We would never be able to bridge the divide."
Tears welled up in Maya's eyes as she reached out to take Ali's hand in hers. "I don't care about our differences, Ali. All I care about is you."
Ali's heart swelled with emotion as he gazed into Maya's tear-filled eyes. "And I care about you, Maya. More than you'll ever know."
For a moment, they sat in silence, their hands clasped together in a silent vow of love and devotion.
But as the night wore on, reality began to creep back in, reminding them of the harsh truth they couldn't escape.
"I should go," Maya said, her voice trembling with emotion.
Ali nodded, his heart heavy with sadness. "I'll walk you home."
As they made their way through the quiet streets of Brookside, their footsteps echoing in the darkness, they knew that their love was a flame that could never be extinguished—a flame that would continue to burn bright, even in the face of insurmountable odds.
And though they may never find their happily ever after in this lifetime, in the depths of their hearts, they knew that their love would endure—a beacon of hope in a world filled with darkness.

Paralysis
She was there. Like she always had been, as if she were created immediately following the big bang. Waiting for him. Her long brown hair twisted and danced wildly in the lack of gravity. She was hauntingly beautiful, but her face was a look of terror and desperation. She mouthed wordless shouts, Ron only could assume she was yelling by the way the veins bulged in her neck.

Brodde's Nightmare
The sky was filled with the glow of a blood red moon as I trapsed through the baren woods of the countryside. No sound filled the air, save for the whistling winds and the creaking of old, dead wood swaying back and forth. I stepped lightly among fallen leaves and twigs that made barely a rustle in the dark of night. The wind grew louder as the shadows enveloped and threatened to consume me. Yet, within the darkness, I felt the eyes upon me; bright and yellow as they always were. I turned to look in the direction the hairs on my neck pointed when standing on end, but the amber glow would fade as soon as I made contact with them. A chill ran down my arms and my spine as my legs turned to jelly. I wanted to run from them. I wanted to scream for help, but my mouth filled with dirt and gravel at the opening, and I heaved it at my feet; my throat rubbed raw from the mountain of it that fell between my teeth. The eyes were in front of me and they were beside me, and they were behind me. They were all around me, closing in, waiting for the right time to strike. I fell to me knees and prayed to the old gods, hoping they would hear my plea, and spare me the death or at least make it quick. No relief came as the growl grew from the spaces between the trees, louder and louder, until they drowned out the wind. The growling was all I knew as I felt the lunge and the stabbing pain that radiated through my chest. I closed my eyes tight against the darkness. The red sky quickly turned to blue and green as a woman sang to me her song.
