As Amira held the ancient parchment in her hands, she could almost feel the whispers of the past resonating through her fingertips. The forgotten legend painted a vivid picture of an extraordinary treasure—the Eye of Osiris. It was said to possess the ability to grant visions of the future, heal the wounded, and even control the elements themselves.
Driven by an insatiable thirst for knowledge, Amira embarked on a perilous adventure that would test her resolve and unlock the secrets of the Eye. Guided by her extensive knowledge of hieroglyphics, she deciphered cryptic clues hidden within the ancient text, pointing her towards the heart of the desert.
The scorching sand dunes seemed endless as Amira journeyed deeper into the unknown. Along the way, she encountered mythical creatures that guarded the secrets of the ancient land. Majestic sphinxes challenged her with riddles, testing her wit and courage. With each puzzle solved, she proved herself a true seeker of knowledge, earning their respect and aid.
As the shifting sands whispered their secrets, Amira's footsteps led her to an obscured entrance—a hidden temple buried beneath the dunes. Guarding the entrance stood statues of fierce lion-headed gods, their eyes gleaming with an otherworldly light. With cautious steps, Amira entered the temple, her heart filled with a mix of trepidation and anticipation.
The temple's sacred halls were a labyrinth of traps and puzzles, designed to safeguard the Eye of Osiris from the unworthy. Amira's keen intuition and quick thinking guided her through the intricate mechanisms, avoiding perilous pitfalls that threatened to claim her life.
After overcoming countless obstacles, Amira arrived at the innermost chamber—a sanctuary bathed in a soft, ethereal glow. At its center, atop a golden pedestal, rested the Eye of Osiris—a radiant gem pulsating with ancient power. As Amira approached, a burst of blinding light enveloped her, and the spirit of Osiris materialized before her.
The wise and regal presence of Osiris commended Amira for her bravery, her unyielding determination to unravel the mysteries of the Eye. He revealed that the artifact held not only unimaginable power but also the accumulated wisdom of the ancient pharaohs—insights into the workings of the universe and the nature of existence itself.
Entrusting Amira with this precious artifact, Osiris charged her with the solemn duty of protecting it and using its power for the betterment of humankind. Filled with profound gratitude and a newfound sense of purpose, Amira accepted the Eye of Osiris, understanding the weight of the responsibility bestowed upon her.
Returning to her village, Amira shared the wisdom and power bestowed upon her by the Eye. With its guidance, she helped her people prosper and flourish, using the Eye's healing abilities to cure the sick, the elderly, and the injured. The village thrived under her benevolent leadership, as the knowledge and magic of the Eye brought prosperity and harmony.

The legend of Amira and the Eye of Osiris became etched in the annals of Egyptian history, forever reminding future generations of the unparalleled power of knowledge, the unwavering courage of the human spirit, and the enduring mysteries of Ancient Egypt that continue to captivate the world.

A Minute's Difference
It was a Tuesday, 2:58...59 in the afternoon. My friend Andy was white-knuckled gripping the edge of his school desk, staring desperately at the second hand of the clock slooowly circling round, while our teacher droned on and on. A girl behind me cracked her gum. Another classmate was fervently scribbling notes. I was trying to look just awake enough not to get called on. Wrapped in my grey hoodie, eyes drooping behind uncut bangs, head leaning on folded arms, I appeared the cliche of a bored teenage boy, on the verge of daydreaming his way into a more exciting life.

High Rise, Deep Impact
I have witnessed a death that I relive every time I step into an elevator. Although it no longer affects me as deeply—given that it's been 11 years since the incident—it remains a heart- rending memory from my first and last day as a paramedic. My initial call to the scene involved a man who seemed to have fallen down the elevator shaft of a high-rise building. Alternatively, it might have been that the elevator moved upwards while he was working on it. Different scenarios were being considered when I arrived.
