Paloma
On the eve of my fifteenth birthday my parents' struggling marriage reached a boiling point. Their constant threats to divorce began to actualize when my father threw a pair of freshly pressed button downs into his weathered black suitcase and grabbed his keys. My mother's insults rattled against picture frames that displayed photos of a family I no longer recognized and my dad's compulsory need to reply to each and every one of them prolonged his departure.

The Phantomic Coffee. Top Story - January 2023.
“You’ve got to be kidding me!!!” Mag groaned because she was out of coffee. She had always told herself to get more coffee before she finished the current stash but failed miserably every single time. Mag’s cat, Adelaide, woke up from her beauty sleep due to the havoc Mag was wreaking in the kitchen. Adelaide entered the kitchen and gave Mag a death stare as if to say “How dare you disturb my slumber, you old hag?!” “Oh, I’m sorry Adelaide, I didn’t mean to wake you. I’m all out of coffee and I’d die without it!” Adelaide’s glare never faltered. She then jumped on the kitchen counter and curled up. “Come on, Adelaide, off the counter, please. You have your cozy little be–”, Mag was interrupted midsentence as the doorbell rang. “God, please give my caffeine-less self the patience to deal with whoever is at my door”, muttered Mag under her breath as she slowly walked to her front door. She opened the door and much to her annoyance, there was no one. “Those friggin’ pests, I’ll get them one day!” shouted Mag. As she was about to close her door, she noticed a small black packet on her doorstep. “Strange”, she thought. She didn’t order anything online. Thinking it must be a mistake, she picked up the packet. Much to her delight, it was coffee! Someone left her a packet of instant coffee on her doorstep! She quickly brought it into her kitchen while her mind raced with so many thoughts. Could someone have known that she was out of coffee? But who would want to give her a whole packet of it? And why run away after ringing the doorbell?

An Eye for an Eye
Well, this seat is hard and uncomfortable. And the coffee? Sludge is a better word for it. But I guess I can’t be too picky, seeing as I’m the one being questioned and detained right now. Right, Officer? Sure. I bet the guys behind the two-way mirror agree with me. I’m guessing they prefer Starbucks too.

Unlocking the Secrets of an Abandoned Graveyard"
Once upon a time, there was a young YouTuber named Jack who was always on the lookout for new and exciting places to vlog. One day, he heard about an old abandoned graveyard on the outskirts of town that was said to be haunted. Intrigued, he decided to pay it a visit and film a vlog there. As he walked among the crumbling headstones, he couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. The graveyard had clearly not been maintained in years, and the overgrown grass and weeds made it feel as though he was walking through a jungle. But he pressed on, determined to get some great footage for his channel. As he wandered deeper into the graveyard, he stumbled upon a particularly old and decrepit headstone. The inscription was worn and barely legible, but he could make out the name "Elizabeth." Jack couldn't help but wonder who Elizabeth was and what had happened to her. He decided to investigate further and began to dig around the headstone with his hands. As he dug, he felt something hard and metallic. He pulled it out of the ground and found that it was an old, rusty key. He had no idea what it opened, but he couldn't shake the feeling that it was somehow connected to Elizabeth. Excited by his discovery, Jack decided to leave the graveyard for the day and do some research on Elizabeth. He spent the next few days scouring old records and talking to local historians, but he couldn't find any information on her. But one day, while browsing through an old newspaper archive, he found an article about a woman named Elizabeth who had disappeared without a trace. The article was from the 1920s and mentioned that she had been the wife of a wealthy businessman who had died under mysterious circumstances. Determined to solve the mystery of Elizabeth's disappearance, Jack returned to the graveyard with the key he had found. He searched the graveyard for hours, but he couldn't find any door or lock that the key would fit. Just as he was about to give up, he noticed a small, rusty door hidden behind a large headstone. He inserted the key and it turned with a loud click. The door creaked open, revealing a dark and musty underground chamber. Jack's heart began to race as he made his way down the narrow staircase. At the bottom, he found a small room lit by a single candle. In the center of the room was a large chest. Jack approached it and opened it. Inside, he found a diary. It was Elizabeth's diary. As he began to read, he could feel his heart pounding in his chest. The diary told of Elizabeth's life and the strange circumstances surrounding her husband's death. She had been convinced that he had been murdered, and she had been trying to uncover the truth. But before she could, she too had disappeared without a trace. Jack couldn't believe what he was reading. He knew he had to share this story with the world, so he quickly filmed a vlog about his discovery and uploaded it to his channel. It quickly went viral and he became an overnight sensation. But as the years passed, Jack couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to the story of Elizabeth and her husband's death. He continued to investigate and eventually uncovered evidence of a dark conspiracy involving some of the town's most powerful and wealthy citizens. He made sure to tell the story to the world, and finally the truth was out, putting an end to the mystery. But even to this day, people still visit the graveyard, trying to find the hidden chamber and the chest that held the truth about Elizabeth. Some say that on quiet nights, you can hear her voice whispering in the wind, and that her spirit still lingers in the graveyard, searching for the truth and justice. As for Jack, he continued to make videos and uncover other mysteries and conspiracies, becoming a well-known and respected investigative journalist. But he never forgot about Elizabeth and the graveyard that started it all. He always made sure to include a small tribute to her in all of his videos, as a reminder of the power of the truth and the importance of never giving up on a mystery. Years later, Jack returned to the graveyard, this time with his own family. He showed them the hidden chamber and the chest, and told them the story of Elizabeth. As they stood in the small underground room, surrounded by the echoes of the past, Jack couldn't help but feel a sense of peace and closure. He knew that he had finally found the answer to the mystery of Elizabeth, and that her spirit could now rest in peace. The graveyard may have been abandoned and forgotten by most, but for Jack, it will always be a place of mystery, adventure, and truth.

The Forbidden Portal
Once upon a time, there was a space exploration team that set out on a journey to a distant planet in search of new forms of life. The team consisted of five members: the captain, the navigator, the engineer, the scientist, and the medical officer. They were all highly trained and experienced, having undergone rigorous training and simulations before embarking on their mission. As they traveled through the vast expanse of space, they encountered many challenges. They faced intense radiation, extreme temperatures, and the constant threat of mechanical failure. But despite these obstacles, they pressed on, driven by their determination to succeed. As they neared the planet, they received a transmission from the surface. It was a strange, alien language, but their computer was able to translate it. The message was a warning: "Do not land. Leave this planet immediately." The team was puzzled, but they decided to ignore the warning and continue with their mission. Upon landing on the planet, they were greeted by a desolate landscape. The planet was barren and inhospitable, with no signs of life. But as they began to explore, they discovered something far more sinister. The planet was covered in ruins, and it soon became clear that there had once been an advanced civilization on the planet. As they ventured deeper into the ruins, they began to uncover the truth about what had happened to the planet's inhabitants. They found evidence of a catastrophic event that had wiped out the entire civilization. But it was not a natural disaster that had caused this destruction. It was something far more sinister. The team soon realized that they were not alone on the planet. Something was stalking them, watching their every move. They could feel eyes upon them, and they heard strange noises in the darkness. They tried to leave the planet, but their ship had been damaged in the landing, and they were unable to repair it. As the days passed, the team began to lose hope. They were stranded on a planet with no means of escape, and something was hunting them. They were running out of food and water, and their morale was at an all-time low. One by one, the team members began to disappear. The captain was the first to go, followed by the navigator and the engineer. The scientist and the medical officer were the only ones left, and they knew that their time was running out. They stumbled upon the underground chamber and found out that the advanced civilization had been experimenting with the forbidden technologies and opened a portal to another dimension. But the creatures from that dimension, hungry and violent, broke through the portal and destroyed the civilization. The scientist and the medical officer knew that they had to close the portal before it was too late. They worked tirelessly to repair the ship and prepare for launch. But as they were about to take off, they were attacked by the creatures. The medical officer was killed, leaving the scientist alone to face the horrors of the planet. In the end, the scientist managed to close the portal and escape the planet, but the memories of the horrors she had witnessed would haunt her for the rest of her life. She returned to Earth with a warning for humanity: "Do not travel to the distant planet. Leave it be. For if you do not, you will face the same fate as the advanced civilization that once flourished there." The scientist's warning was heeded, and the planet was avoided from then on. But it was always there, looming in the darkness of space, a reminder of the terrible fate that can befall those who dare to play with the unknown.
