Short Story
Just in Time . Top Story - January 2025.
There’s no way it should have worked. The damn thing had no basis in science, and yet, there I was. An older, wiser, scarred version of myself stood across from me—a soft smile, a quiet disposition, and a calmness that defied our current circumstances.

An Argument. Content Warning.
The parking lot was empty. It was dark below me, very dark. There was a coating of snow, just enough to obscure the lines and give a little sparkle to the blacktop. A black car, light from the headlights grazing the road, windshield wipers working intermittently, came down the narrow one-way street and turned left into the lot. It pulled to the middle and stopped, its red brake lights the only bright color in the world. A young woman got out quickly from the passenger side, slamming the door closed. I could hear the clashing thump and the shouting from inside the vehicle up to where I was on the twelfth floor.

The Quantum Paradox
Dr. Alina Graves stood in the middle of the Quantum Nexus, gazing at lines of code that had just broken her understanding of the universe. She had devoted her whole life to quantum physics, building a world where reality was nothing more than data processed by the immense Quantum Grid. Every human thought, action, and emotion existed as mere inputs and outputs in a system too vast for any single mind to comprehend—except hers.

Saathi Screens
The Mumbai monsoon was a relentless beast, mirroring the tempest within Rohan. The rejection emails, “We regret to inform you…” Another one. The tenth this month each a digital slap in the face, had piled up like the overflowing garbage bins outside his window. At 42, his once-promising marketing career lay in ruins, with a CV boasting a decade of experience in marketing for a now-defunct textile company, Rohan was facing a harsh reality, the recession had hit India hard, and his skills were suddenly deemed redundant.

Echoes of the Endless Woods
The forest breathed in whispers. Ancient trees loomed like solemn sentinels, their gnarled branches clawing at the night sky. This was no ordinary forest—it was a place where time unraveled and space folded in upon itself. Travelers who strayed too far into its depths never left unchanged, if they left at all.

Existence - A Novela
Loss and grief are probably some of the most powerful emotions an individual can experience. Most cannot understand the depths of sorrow and despair of another until they have experienced it themselves. The waves of change in Existence represent the waves of emotion one experiences and the battle between the desire to hold on tightly and relinquishing control. There is a hope of abatement coupled with an emptiness that swirls in the murky waters of the riptide of grief. - Rebecca Gonzales, From a letter to Dr. Higgs, December 5, 2024
