Humanity’s Only Hope. Honorable Mention in Too Hot for This Challenge. Top Story - July 2026.
They say murder rates go up in a heat wave. I understood why when the power went out in my building on one of the hottest days on record. The grinding of my air conditioner’s fan coming to a halt was echoed in the grinding of my teeth.

Don’t Shoot the Messenger . Top Story - July 2026.
The weatherman’s smile goes from giddy to demonic while he swipes his hand over the red portion of the map. “Our heatwave continues. This week’s gonna be a real scorcher. Don’t go outside if you can avoid it, and if you do, stay hydrated.”

Poor Cart Parkers. Top Story - July 2026.
I come from a land where the grocery store aisles allow the customers plenty of room to roam. There’s less people in my land, meaning more room to roam. My land is called New Hampshire, and though it is not the least densely populated state in the U.S. and is actually 29th, it’s still scarce with its population. Especially compared to where I live now. California. Los Angeles. A land with narrow aisles in the grocery store.

Putin's Wifi Problem. Top Story - July 2026.
Putin died. He didn't even see the Pearly Gates, was sent straight down to hell. All the lowest-level demons had a lot of fun with him, turning his earthly nightmares into hell reality. There were sharp metal nails under his nail beds, Saddam Hussein-like public beatings and the noose, a bottle from Qaddafi's rear, Ceaușescu's firing squad, and many other ways and means of torture. His body was completely beaten and torn, even though it was all only in his mind and it regenerated during the short breaks between beatings and executions.

Brunch And Baths. Top Story - July 2026.
I had Circe and Hecate put the hangover potion in punch bowls throughout the palace. The kitchen staff put little buffets around each cauldron of elixir: pomegranate bread, yogurt, honey, cheese, and berries. We’d had enough togetherness last night to last at least half a Selene cycle, and everyone seemed more relaxed in smaller groups, so I instructed the kitchen to simply add to the buffets throughout the day and leave the great hall empty.

The Perks of Being a Fat Girl. Top Story - June 2026.
In a world that's already overcrowded, I can't help but take up space. Yes, its me; the person you don't want to sit next to on the bus, the one who wedges in airplane seats, the 'aye go on I'll have a bit of cake' woman that your brothers avoid and your grandma warned you not to turn into. And you know what? It's not all bad.

I would like to apologize for punching the octopus!. Winner in Sorry About That Challenge. Top Story - May 2026.
“I would like to apologize for punching the octopus.” Words I never thought I’d say, but here we are. I flexed my sore hand while I looked down and awkwardly shuffled my feet. I put my hand in my pocket, then took it out again.
