Ellafino. Top Story - May 2026.
"I'm stuck." "What has you stuck?" "Ellafino." "Heh, heh. Yeah, right. What's going on?" "I'm...frozen. My mind freezes between words. I just sit here...almost as if I were paralyzed. Stuck. ... Zoning out. Tunnel vision sets in. I see only the computer screen, and the rest of the room blurs as if I'm not wearing my glasses. It takes effort to move my fingers to type. I...just want to sit here, mindlessly watching nothing happen, irritated that the grammar check puts a blue line under the word 'just.'"

Mom's. Top Story - May 2026.
Breakfast in bed, because this is the only day you get that. Flowers and kids attacking you in bed at the crack of dawn. Kisses and hugs, that strangle the air out of your body. I hope all you moms out there got that this morning. The work you do is special and the most necessary career ever. No other career shapes the world and humanity like yours does. None.

The Blue Jean Brides. Top Story - May 2026.
As I age, random memories come back to me with clarity. Today's nostalgic moment is about the 1970s. The Bible says in Proverbs 18:22 He who finds a wife finds a good thing. This is a story of three men who found wives similarly and unconventionally. These men were attracted to what they saw in blue jeans.

On the Fly (May edition). Top Story - May 2026.
May, May. Thank you for bringing some sunshine and brighter days. I really do appreciate it. Can't wait to buy some plants and get them into the garden, get more colour out there. Last week I cleaned down the plastic garden chairs, arranged them around my little round garden table a friend scavenged for me a couple of years ago. All ready for that first cuppa / ice cold coke sat in the garden when the weather gets REALLY nice in the UK (we can but hope!)

The Rosehill Circus. Top Story - May 2026.
The circus. It’s a place that kids in tales of old want to run away to. It’s a source of entertainment, of spectacle and acrobatics and colourful displays of stage lights and decor. It’s meant to distract viewers from the worries of their everyday lives: work, running errands, interpersonal conflicts, and so on. At said goal, the showcase succeeds for many.

Against The Grain. Top Story - April 2026.
Ever since childhood I have never quite felt like I belong, as though I was a stranger in my own skin living in a world that has always been difficult to understand. My brothers would joke with me and tell me I was adopted, and they would also tell me that I was placed here by aliens, due to the fact our interests were miles apart. I always had a sense that I for whatever reason which I was placed on this earth, it had to be of importance, but that reason was something I could never fully place.

H. P. Series. Top Story - April 2026.
The packed bookstore buzzed with magical excitement. Many patrons donning a robe representing the faction they supported from the series. In one corner, a sales representative managed a trivia game, and participants of all ages gathered, hanging on every question or shouting a combination of letters matching a spell from the books. In another corner, various games enticed a much younger crowd, those unable to read the lengthy novel independently, but loved the story being told by their siblings or parents. Children experienced the stories through coloring, clay models, or other hands-on activities. From the bookstore’s cafe, enchanting refreshments offered patrons the opportunity to taste the magic from the series. From cakes to beverages, each bite cast a spell of joy over everyone.
