Silent Suffering: The Ongoing Cruelty Faced by Pashtuns Today"
Introduction The Pashtuns—an ethnic group known for their rich culture, bravery, and history of resistance—are facing a silent crisis today. Spread mainly across Pakistan and Afghanistan, Pashtuns are enduring a troubling series of human rights violations, forced displacements, racial profiling, and systemic discrimination. These acts, often overlooked by mainstream narratives, have created a humanitarian and political issue that demands immediate global attention.

My Love Story
Author's note: Wouldn't you know the last prompt would be a book! Warning - This will be a very small book. 50 minutes times 2 = 100 minutes or one hour and forty minutes. This will take me a while. Almost four times my normal 600-word story.

Bewitched by the underground
Here's an entry for Annie Kapur's 'Song of the Century' challenge. If you've read any Christopher Isherwood, you might catch a similar mood here (and, btw, Cabaret would be another great song for this challenge). It's incredible to think that it's already nearly 20 years since all this. And equally incredible that it's not even 20 years. Read on, and check out the link to Annie's challenge at the end.

That had always seemed out of reach. Vocal Media felt different. It looked sleek, organized, and filled with diverse voices from around the world. That night, she decided: I'm going to write my first story.

Hot Take: MM/DD/YYYY > DD/MM/YYYY
I woke up in a cold sweat when it came to me. The date was July 17, 2025. Why did I say it like that and not 17 July 2025? Is it because I am a stubborn American? No, it turns out, I am stubborn for sentence structure.
