Salt in the Wound . Top Story - June 2025.
We don’t know what to do, so we write. That’s what we have to offer the world right now — our words, our stories, our art. And some days, it doesn’t feel like enough. Not when people are dying. Not when the news reads like a horror script on loop. But it does feel like something. A thread. A resistance. A way to stay human.

The Voice on the Commute. Top Story - June 2025.
Mable bit her lip as she looked at her car, the chill of the morning slithering past her clothes and sinking deep into her skin. She was on her way to work. In fact, Mable had to be there in about ten minutes. She had to leave now if she wanted to get there on time.

Businesswoman Chapter 168. Top Story - June 2025.
MasterMind Classes set a premium on their content. $600 a year got a prospective student the full ride to online education glory. The CEO, Sylvania Crowthers, had set the tempo. She snapped up photographers, chefs, tennis legends, filmmakers, painters, yogis, and even a funeral director. Her abilities to gather such talent remained in her senses. Excellence exuded out of all of these individuals. When she needed an entrepreneur to teach business, Loreen Breen had been her top pick. She sat in her office adorned with awards and trophies. Loreen accepted a cup of some of the finest coffee in the world.

Revisiting Yuri!!! on Ice — 8 Years Later!. Top Story - June 2025.
That’s right, people—Yuri!!! on Ice came out over 8 years ago. Feel old yet? Yuri!!! on Ice is a lovely little show. It’s a half-figure skating, half-romance anime about a 23-year-old Japanese ice skater named Katsuki Yuri, and he’s having a rough go of it. After binge-eating before a competition due to stress and the depression of losing his childhood dog, Yuri loses terribly at Nationals. He heads back home to Japan, fearing and dreading that his exuberant figure skating career may be coming to a sad and rather lackluster end.

School Choice is Desegregation. Top Story - June 2025.
My high school was ranked 32nd in the entire country during my attendance. Of course, those numbers are based on test scores and matriculation rates. When you walked the halls of Fort Myers Senior High School, you could feel the racial tensions and the weight of history pressing down. In fact, if you just walked the halls, you could see it on display.
