The Heart of Mor. Content Warning.
Chapter One It started like any other day, overcast and pouring, the cobblestone dark from the rain. He was walking his usual route towards the precinct, the hood of his cloak pulled up to keep the rain out of his eyes. The walk from the first ring to the third is a long one, so he must start at five in the morning to make it to work at seven. He would normally use public transport but all public teleportation stations in all five rings were down for maintenance the entire month, though he can see that the out-of-order signs on some of the transport pads have been blown off. It wasn’t too long before he made it to the entrance of the second ring, flashing his badge at the checkpoint.

Bathtub Jinn. First Place in Arid Challenge.
If you have ever believed that your brain is more perfect or beautiful than other brains, an MRI will sort that out. I was hurt by the bland mediocrity of my own brain. It was generic, typical—the sort of brain that you could see in stock images or textbooks. It matched the illustrations that accompany boilerplate lore about grey matter on The Mayo Clinic site that you might scroll through in a sweaty, hypochondriacal panic at three in the morning.

She was a wonderful liar...
Once upon a time in the quaint village of Fibber's Hollow, there lived a woman named Penelope Pinstripe. Penelope was not your average villager; she possessed a remarkable talent that set her apart from the rest—she was a wonderful liar. Now, before you start thinking of deceit and mischief, Penelope's fibs were of a different kind. She had an uncanny ability to spin tales so fantastical and absurd that the townsfolk eagerly awaited her daily stories at the village square.

Whispers in the Quantum Garden
In the quiet town of Veridale, nestled between rolling hills and ancient woods, there existed a peculiar garden unlike any other. Its existence was known only to a select few, whispered about in hushed tones as the "Quantum Garden." The townsfolk spoke of it as a place where reality and imagination intertwined, where the ordinary transcended into the extraordinary. It was said that those who ventured into its lush embrace experienced a reality beyond the boundaries of the known.

Chronicles of
In the celestial expanse of Ephemeral Skies, where time flowed like liquid silk and constellations whispered ancient secrets, there existed a realm untouched by mortal gaze. It was a place where ethereal clouds, aglow with the hues of forgotten dreams, painted the sky with stories written in stardust.

Shattered Swords
Ruby blood dripped down his ornate longsword’s blade onto the arena sands–blood they said would run black as mud. Cathar stood over his prey and pulled off his helm. The nameless ogre lay low upon its back, knee shattered by a well-placed strike from the anointed knight.

South West of the Setting Sun
South West of the Setting Sun Author and artist: Tanika Smith Wheatley This is a story about a Polynesian man known as Maui the Half God who travelled the Pacific in search of his father and in doing so, found several other islands, including Aoteroa, now known as New Zealand, for his people to live on. Some Maori believe that he was Hawaiian. The first great Polynesian migration to New Zealand was believed to have been made from either Hawaii, or Tahiti. And, the first great (I say great because this migration had a fleet of seven boats plus a smaller one that belonged to the half God) Polynesian migration landed in the Bay of Plenty at a place that they decided to call Hawai which is supposed to be after the old land.
