Broken Glass. Top Story - June 2024.
Of all the students Mr. Benedick expected to see in his office, he did not expect the boy who was sitting there. What grade was this one, he thought? He walked over to his desk, looked at the folder Ms. Diner had left out for him, and opened it. There was a photo inside of it, taken from last year’s picture day. Not much growth; not too different. The boy sitting in front of him had nothing strange or unusual in his file, if a child’s life defined by having “nothing disruptive or regretful” in it could be called fine. Mr. Benedick also realized that “life” was an anagram of “file,” and wondered where that thought came from as he stared at the boy in front of him. Benny Duncan. Grade Four. Beloved by all his teachers so far. He had seen the boy playing with the other boys his age in the school yard at recess. Four Square and foot hockey. A normal-looking kid. A normal kid… And here he was, after a very stupid moment with the fire alarm and a shoe.

Forever and Always
I saw her there through the dimming light, a voice as clear as day. "Come to me, my love, and hold me close." I obliged, bearing my body close and interlacing my fingers with hers. The heat from her bosom warmed mine. Our lips caressed, the very concept of reality slipping away as my eyes shut briefly. Euphoria, adoration, sensation, those were all that mattered in this intimate moment. We pulled away briefly, allowing her warm eyes, green as the spring's first sun, to fill my world.

Echoes of the Afterworld. AI-Generated.
The seventh month in the lunar calendar is often regarded as the time of the "Hungry Ghost Festival," where it's believed that spirits roam freely on Earth. During our younger years, venturing out at night during this month was particularly daunting. The atmosphere felt thicker, almost ethereal, unlike any other time. Perhaps it was the increased presence of people offering prayers and burning offerings to appease the hungry ghosts. We were cautioned against consuming food sold by vendors, as it was believed that the ghosts might have tampered with it, altering its taste. Our minds were filled with tales and legends, heightening our paranoia over seemingly mundane occurrences, attributing them to ghostly influence. Yet, why did objects go missing more frequently during this time? Why were there more accidents, and a noticeable increase in food disappearing without explanation?
