Bluey's Magical Birthday Adventure
It was Bluey's birthday, and she was beyond excited. She had invited all her friends, including Tootsy the tiny dragon and Kiara the snow-haired girl, to a big party in the backyard. But just as everyone was about to arrive, dark clouds gathered, and a loud rumble of thunder boomed through the air. Suddenly, big, fluffy snowflakes started falling from the sky, covering the party decorations and making everything look like a winter wonderland.

Your Best Friend
“I love you,” Sayaka told Melanie one day after school, and meant it. The rain around them pounded against the concrete with powerful splatters, the sounds of the storm whipping in their ears. Melanie’s umbrella, clenched in both of Sayaka’s hands, careened dangerously to the left from the wind.

In the sixth month of pregnancy, my OBGYN sent me for x-rays, and then for a CT scan of my lungs. Never being a smoker or drug user, I was shocked when he told me that I had fourth-stage lung cancer.

Beautiful Stranger
People are always talking about how hard it is to find love. Especially online. Like, you always have to look out for creeps who just want nudes and fake profiles that try to scam vulnerable, lonely people out of their hard-earned cash. It's pretty scummy, and I'm honestly not sure which is worse. Even with the legit matches you get, it's almost impossible to find someone you really click with. After all that hard work digging through the muck and mire, once in a while you think you've struck gold. That is, until you actually meet them in person. And find out the hard way that the 6'4" twenty-something sensitive jock/poet you matched with is actually an overweight, balding, part-time pizza delivery boy in his late thirties, who hasn't showered since junior high.

Francine
They were sat on the terrace, the sea shimmering before them, the sun catching the heads of waves, making them smile with vibrancy in its warmth, like the hand of a kindly uncle, tousling the hair on the head of his favourite nephew.

Mantaman
Matiu couldn't watch his parents argue anymore. His mum would complain about his father's drinking, then his father would respond with a raised hand... Like the truth was too knotty and buried. They could only bicker now.

Tell it to me again.
My heart beats but it’s fading. It’s bubbling in my ears, and I know you can hear it too. You wouldn’t be looking at me like that if you couldn’t hear it too.
