The last Baobab
In a small village at the edge of the Sahel, where the earth cracked from thirst and the wind whispered secrets through the grass, there stood an ancient baobab tree. Its branches stretched like arms trying to hold the sky.

Flight 909
Flight 909 By Salah Uddin ________________________________________ Darren Geller boarded Flight 909 with nothing but a carry-on and a half-dead phone. It was supposed to be a cheap, two-hour hop from Denver to Portland—a forgettable connection between business meetings. The airline, Avia West, had a retro feel. No digital check-ins, no app—just a paper ticket and a weary-looking stewardess who scanned it with a nod.

Berry Blue Beasts
Blueberries, a healthy way to keep one in shape and a delicious treat, but in this case it tells of a beast in blue. In Alaska where blueberries can be found, they have been known to cover the ground in huge mats that many creatures find absolutely irresistible. On this day, there is a creature has decided to pay a visit to their blueberries fields and enjoy the fruits before him. He is an Alaskan caribou and a large one at that. With giant antlers over his head covered in velvet that are as tall as a twelve year old and robust enough to rip apart any tree that stands in his way, he is a beast to behold. In his prime, he can shake off just about any challenger, but not all odds are desirable when food is the prize.

The Mystery Of The Floating Containers
The Old Amber Forest Grove, nestled deep within the tall Canadian Rockies, was a place of whispering pines, beautiful babbling brooks, and a peculiar brand of chaos. It was home to a community of animals as diverse as the wildflowers dotting its lush green meadows, and where the unexpected was, well, to be expected. But even for the Old Amber Forest Grove, the sight of several large, brightly colored containers of different sizes bobbing down the usually serene stream was decidedly out of the ordinary.

The Island that Remembers
The sea was unusually still. A silver mist crawled across the surface like breath on glass, and in the distance, just beyond where the horizon should have ended, an island emerged.

A Journey with Old Rosie. Top Story - June 2025.
The car coughed, sputtered, and proceeded to pour copious amounts of steam into the hot air from the vicinity of the radiator. Not good. Not good at all. I steered to the edge of the desert-hot road and looked around.

What You Are Willing to Lose
The night my village burned, I didn't cry. I didn't scream. I walked. The air reeked of roasted flesh and old milk. My mother had braided a ribbon into my hair the day before, red and yellow like a harvest sunrise. I remember it because the ends were still tied when I stood at the edge of the ash heap that used to be our home.

My Grandmother’s Mirror Only Reflects the Dead
The Mirror’s First Secret I almost sold the mirror the day after Grandma Lillian’s funeral. It was an ugly thing—a heavy oak frame carved with twisting vines, the glass smoky with age. But Mom insisted: "She wanted you to have it. Said it was special."

The Gym Rat Trap
When I met Chad, I thought I’d finally cracked the dating algorithm. He was funny, ambitious, and had biceps that could probably cradle a small cow. A real gym rat — not just one of those guys who “occasionally hikes” and thinks whey protein is a type of shampoo. He had the full package: personal trainer certification, veins that mapped his forearms like Google Earth, and a way of saying “macronutrients” like it was a poem.
