A Shocking Discovery
I was a little startled to discover her secret. Everyone has secrets, I know, and everyone is entitled to them. I mean, she doesn't know everything about me. Not too many skeletons in my closet but if you slammed the door, some bones would surely rattle!

The storm has yet to pass. Luckily, the torrential rain has stopped, making the walk home much more manageable. I wish I could say the same for this wind. I made the unlucky decision today not to tie my long hair back, and now I'm dealing with those consequences. Being me, I did not bring a hair tie, thinking I wouldn't need it. Boy, how wrong I was. I mentally kicked myself for making such a tiny mistake as I made my way down the street, fussing and wrangling my hair out of my face so I could see where I was going so I wouldn't hit a pole like last time. I wish not to talk about it. It was an event I did not want to relive, considering I had an audience then. Pushing that horrible thought out of my head, I kept going down the empty streets, dodging the spray of water as the cars sped by. Nearly ten minutes later, I finally gave up with my hair and stuffed it inside my jacket, pulling the hood over my head for an extra precaution.

The Last Laugh
You can call me Grott, I am of a long line of the great overseers of the woodlands and forests, we used to be many, now I am one. These woods have a history of life, death and rejuvenation that goes back long before man took his first fearful steps into these woods, when he was still cowering inside the caves at the great plateau. I watched as man forced himself to move from these caves as I stood strong and tall and they discovered all of the good that I was hiding from them, trees... flowers... animals.

Which Animal Do You See First?. Top Story - March 2024.
This is another item on the famous "Hidden Figures" test in cognitive psychology that is used to evaluate people's dependency on the field of information around them and their prevalent type of intelligence - Crystalline (vertical thinking, associated with traditional step-by-step problem solving) or Fluid (lateral thinking, associated with creative, out-of-the-box problem solving).

The Trail of the Snail. Content Warning.
I dedicate this story to Charlie. *** Just at the moment that you're born, so is a snail. And so begins a relentless pursuit, a race between molluscs and mammal. Snails may look like they are aimless meanderers but this is not the case. In truth, they are the harbingers of death, and their trails, whilst seemingly random, all lead to one person: the person to whom they have been linked from the day of their arrival on Earth.
