Short Story
Beneath The Overpass
Beneath the overpass, covered in colors of different spray paints, dead leaves, empty cans, and spider webs. Besides the rare vandal, it's unvisited. Secluded and safe from the world around it, it's where we met each other's gaze. Where we stumbled around and called it dancing, where we sat and contemplated life and existence, where we shared moments we would take to the grave.

Whisking Up Christmas
Snow fell in soft, lazy flakes outside the frosted window of Bella’s Bakery. Inside, the air was warm and inviting, filled with the mingling aromas of cinnamon, nutmeg, and freshly baked bread. Claire, the girl behind the counter, wiped her flour-dusted hands on her apron as she glanced at the clock. It was a few minutes past six, and the shop was nearly empty, save for a few last-minute customers picking up Christmas Eve treats.
