Short Story
Echoes of Childhood Dreams
In the tapestry of our shared youth, I wove a friendship with a neighborhood boy, a bond forged from shared dreams and humble beginnings. We were kindred spirits, united not by wealth, but by the magic of our imagination. Dirt-poor, as they say, but rich in the currency of each other's companionship. Our souls were bound by the threads of make-believe adventures, where the world unfurled as a playground of possibilities.

Whispers of the Otherworld
The rhythmic clatter of the train on the tracks provided a soothing backdrop to my daily commute. Every morning, my gaze wandered, as it often did, to the girl who seemed to dwell in a world of her own. She was a small, willowy figure with a face that exuded an otherworldly charm. Her eyes, bright and alive, danced with secrets and dreams known only to her. It was as if she were a creature from a fairy tale, a being of enchantment who had found her way into the mundane world of the morning commute.

Sat on the Bed. Top Story - October 2023. Content Warning.
As we sat on the bed, just sitting on the edge of the bed. There was nothing we could say, nothing I could say to lessen the blunt force trauma our lives had received. Love was still in the air, I knew that much but grief was taking up space in the atmosphere too. So, we just sat. I knew she would talk when she needed to and while I needed to talk too, now was not the time. Now was the time for silent reflect and memorialising to the life that was lost. Now was the time to sit in the grief and let it wash over us. There is no point trying to hold back the tears or the anger. We are not a dam that can hold back a surge from the river. We could try, but if we did, we would just build up the force and strength of the grief.
