Fused
All over the world, children have been acquiring random superpowers they cannot control. It's been an entire month, and the world is in chaos. It's being called "The Superhuman Epidemic," and the leaders of the world have executed a kill order on all super-abled children. However, it's not easy killing a child with bulletproof skin, and a lot of adults (especially those with children of their own) cannot morally allow the slaughter of human children, regardless of their "unnatural powers." A worldwide civil war has broken out between the supporters of the genocide and the super-abled children with their allies.

Siren. Content Warning.

The Sanctioner
I love this part-standing on the cracked and broken ledge of an old skyscraper with the moonlight glinting off my armored mask, muscles tensed, readying for the leap into the abyss, listening to the sounds of bad people doing bad things far below. It's the calm before the storm. When I land behind them in the shadows, they know I'm there, but fake courage and real fear keeps them from acknowledging the fact. The look on their faces when they realize their world is about to be upended is worth all the long nights and ragged scars.

The Blood Alchemist; Chapter 10
The next day is rather uneventful. We keep to our quick pace, pausing this time for lunch. It's then that we decide we'll stop earlier than yesterday so we can hunt tonight. Tomorrow, we'll be too close to the city to risk splitting up.

The Hunt
The dragon looms over me. It's reptilian stink is almost solid and makes my eyes water. It's breath feels burning hot on my skin. I think maybe some of what I smell is my own hair getting singed. I am completely helpless. Why doesn't it kill me?

The Letters from the Past
At twelve years old, Emily had grown accustomed to the idea that she was adopted. Her parents, Mark and Susan, had always been open about it. They told her stories about how they found her at an orphanage, how she had been such a quiet, observant baby, and how they had instantly fallen in love with her.

Train Whistles
A loud whistle in the darkness. I could hear the train coming before I saw it. Slow creaking sounds. It was big. This wasn't my train.

**The Whispering Shadow**
Elena paced the dimly lit room, her heart pounding in her chest like a war drum. The walls seemed to close in on her, and every creak of the floorboards felt like a judge's gavel. The memory of that night haunted her every waking moment.

**Secrets in the Salon**
The soft hum of hairdryers and the rhythmic snip of scissors filled the air at Bella’s Beauty Lounge, a small, cozy salon nestled in the heart of the city. The warm scent of shampoo and hairspray lingered in the air as customers chatted about their lives, their laughter and gossip blending into the background noise.
