Purple Rose
Ladies, beware of the purple rose left on your pillow to find when you open your eyes. Its beauty hides a secret you will soon discover — turning your hair white and driving you insane. According to legend, once left, before you know it, you will be tormented to the point of death.

I have no mouth, and I must scream
One of my favorite writers of all time is Harlan Ellison. A true master of his craft, with over 1700 works, he was a very prolific writer, crafting captivating stories such as “I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream,” “A Boy and His Dog,” and “'Repent, Harlequin!' Said the Ticktockman.” He wrote not only sci-fi works but also screenplays, comic book scripts, and more. His works, often exploring themes of dystopia, technology, and social issues, have won numerous awards, including several Hugos, Nebulas, and Edgars. He was also an editor and anthologist. He was very successful over his long life, being born in 1934 and passing away in 2018.

Roselea
In the fabled Kingdom of Marden, a Queen named Roselea the Great reigned. Her rule, a tapestry woven with excellence and kindness, was akin to a mother hen tending to her chicks. The people of Marden, in unison, hailed her as the greatest ruler in their history and, perhaps, in all of history.
