Satire
Henny Penny was Right. Top Story - February 2025.
This tale concerns a grouple, or group of like-minded people, who tried to tell the villagers of their country that danger was approaching, sure and swift. Of this grouple, many were men and women of science who studied and measured things. Their knowledge was posted on every streetlight, tree, and sandwich board in the village. They made sure that what they studied was available to everyone.

The Witch, the Twins and the Fire That Lit Up Miami!. Content Warning.
The prison walls hummed with the fluorescent buzz of institutional apathy, but the two doe-eyed arsonists across from me seemed blissfully unaware. Hansel and Gretel, fresh-faced and annoyingly symmetrical (in an uncanny valley sort of way), had come to America with dreams of stardom and ended up burning down Miami’s most infamous nightclub, Candy Land. Their mugshots had already become icons, plastered on glittery pastel T-shirts and mugs. The media circus outside was relentless, each camera flash a reminder that infamy is just another form of celebrity. But here, sitting on hard metal chairs, they were just two naive kids trying to make sense of the chaos they had unleashed. Hansel frowned, his brows furrowing as though the effort of thinking was almost too much to bear. "Ve vorked so hard," he said, his accent thick and earnest. "Ze singing, ze dancing… ve did it all." Gretel nodded emphatically, her bleached hair bobbing like a rubber ducky in a bathtub. "Every day," she added, "at ze schools, ze malls—everyvere! Ve sang, ve danced, ve smiled until our faces hurt." "Ja," Hansel said, his unnaturally blue eyes widening with sincerity. "And ze vorst part?" He leaned in, voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper. "Ve veren't even paid!" I blinked, struggling to process. "You weren’t paid for any of it?" "No," Gretel gasped, her hands fluttering to her chest as if the thought alone was enough to give her a heart attack. "She said she vas investing in us. Building ze brand." The Witch—a Miami legend, her name whispered in the halls of every failing talent agency from here to Orlando. She had managed Tiana, Rapunzel, and Snow White—each of them now incredibly successful, raking in millions with solo careers and lifestyle brands. But Hansel and Gretel? They were just another pair of discarded dreamers, trapped in her web of promises. "When ve veren't singing," Hansel continued, "ve vorked in ze kitchen." "Baking candies," Gretel said, her voice tinged with bitterness. "For hours," Hansel added, looking genuinely traumatized by the memory of gumdrops and licorice. "Ve vere indentured servents,"Gretel declared.

Finding Love Again
Vincy had never believed in fate, but meeting Andrew felt like destiny. It was a rainy evening in New York, and she dashed into a café to escape the downpour, only to collide with a stranger, spilling coffee all over his shirt. "Perfect," he said, looking annoyed. She apologised profusely, and that chaotic start turned into an hour-long conversation over fresh cups of coffee.
