Mystery
Mira and the Secrets of the Forest
Once upon a time in a quiet village nestled between towering mountains, there lived a young girl named Mira. Mira had a special gift—she could speak to animals. Every morning, she would visit the forest, where birds, rabbits, and even the shy deer would gather around her, eager to share their stories. One day, while walking deeper into the woods than usual, Mira stumbled upon a small, injured fox. The fox's paw was caught in a trap, and it looked up at her with pleading eyes. Without hesitation, Mira gently freed the fox and bandaged its paw with a piece of her dress. "Thank you," the fox whispered, surprising Mira. "I owe you my life." In the days that followed, the fox returned to visit Mira, bringing her gifts of wild berries and flowers. They became the best of friends, and the fox taught Mira the secrets of the forest—how to find hidden paths, the safest places to rest, and the songs of the wind. One evening, the village was threatened by a fierce storm, with winds strong enough to uproot trees. The villagers were frightened, but Mira knew what to do. She called upon her forest friends, and with their help, they guided the villagers to a hidden cave, safe from the storm’s fury. When the storm passed, the villagers emerged unscathed, grateful for Mira’s wisdom and courage. From that day on, they no longer feared the forest, for they knew it was filled with friends who watched over them. And so, Mira and her animal companions lived in harmony, protecting the village and the forest, their bond growing stronger with each passing day. And whenever a storm loomed on the horizon, the villagers knew they could trust in Mira’s guidance, for she had the heart of a friend and the wisdom of the wild.

Death by Laundry. Content Warning.
Karl walked into the laundry room, shouted “Motherfucker!” and then began to sort the dirty clothes. Underwear in this pile. Socks in the same pile. Dark clothes in this one. Karl stared at a wadded up ball of lint, from the dryer. It was sitting there on the counter, next to the sink. God damn it, Karl thought. It was sitting literally one foot away from the trash can. She couldn’t even be bothered to throw away a god damned ball of lint?

Today
The flashback of the night, six months ago, ran through his head, as he stared at his phone. The only light in the room was from his phone screen. The phone flashed a picture of a happy family with their faces scratched away. A message under it read, "They know what you did." Realization dawned onto him. He knew none of them, except one. The one man, whose face was the cause of distress in his life. His face grew pale, a lump forming in his throat as he read the new message, "I'm coming for you. Today is the day, today is your day, today your past will catch up to you, today death will come to you."

Finder
I never realised my ability to find things was anything more than just being observant. I feel I’ve always had the ability, lost keys? Found within a minute. Neighbour’s lost dog? Less than an hour. For years it was just a thing, ‘yeah, Nathan is good at finding things,’ people said. Then puberty hit … that’s when things really changed. Other guys at school started showing off little wisps of chin hair or their slightly deeper voice. I went home one Friday how I’d looked for years. By Monday I had a full beard, and thick hair coating my arms and legs.
