Tombette
After my mother died, I began to bury things in small places. I folded her hand-written recipe for cornbread and oyster stuffing deep inside the oil-stained pages of my cookbook. I recorded old spiritual songs she used to sing in the strings of the out-of-tune piano in our front room. I tucked an empty glass bottle of Poison, her favorite perfume, in the corner of my sock drawer. But most of all I buried memories in my mind. Of baking Christmas cookies while the snow drifted down outside the kitchen window. Of running my hands through the rich black soil of the garden as we planted cucumber seeds. Of her fingers stroking my temples as I listened to her read the Harry Potter series out loud to me.

Tides of Redemption
The sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows across the desolate beach. The waves crashed rhythmically, echoing the relentless ache within Ali Abuzar's heart. He sat alone in the fading light, his face buried in his hands, tears slipping through his trembling fingers like grains of sand slipping through an hourglass.

Finally Peace
Mia stares almost blankly at the message she just received. Feeling the sour lump in her throat, she throws the phone down. Breathing in and out to calm down, her lip quivered and as much as she wanted to cry, no tears were coming out. Mia had known Noah for about ten years now, and from day one she had a massive crush on him. There was just something about him that she couldn’t put her finger on, something that always drew her back to him. Mia had other relationships which have ended now, and in the back of her head she was filled with the what-ifs about Noah. Early this year, he had reached out to her out of the blue; Mia was newly single not looking for anything and could have combusted on the spot when she saw his name on the phone. They would hang out till the early hours, share secrets, and kiss very passionately. Mia wanted to know where his head was at, and she was always met with a “I like you a lot, but I’m just not ready for a relationship yet.”

Honestly, all James wanted to do was have a coffee after work and wait for peak hour traffic to die down. Instead, he was stuck with an involuntary front row seat to possibly the cringiest thing he'd ever seen. A surprise public proposal, complete with marching band, balloon shower, and a bunch of the soon-to-be-single idiot's cronies on standby to take pictures.
