Student of the life teacher
Ameena sat beneath the ancient banyan tree, her fingers tracing the etched lines on an old, worn-out notebook. Her eyes followed the swaying leaves above, whispering secrets with the breeze.

She had always been a seeker, asking questions that most dismissed.

"A Single Voice"
In the town of Rahim Nagar, life was not lived; it was endured. People there didn’t truly exist with joy or passion. They existed only to survive. The streets were full of people, but each was trapped in their own world, often unaware or indifferent to the struggles of the others around them. The town had become a symbol of stagnation—where silence was the loudest thing heard.

"The One That Got Away" . Content Warning.
The lake hadn’t changed in ten years. It still shimmered with that gentle silver glow when the wind skimmed its surface. The same wooden bench stood facing the water, its paint chipped, the carvings in the armrest barely legible—initials of young lovers who once thought forever could be captured in scratched letters.

"One Last Try". Content Warning.
Ethan Cole stared at the letter in his hand, the paper worn at the creases from being folded and unfolded too many times. The ink had smudged slightly where his thumb had lingered too long, right over her name—Maya. He hadn’t seen her in four years. Not since he walked away.

The void of space had never felt so alive. A pinprick of light in the distance beckoned like a lighthouse in a storm, but this was no ordinary light. It was the heart of a star that had long since been consumed, the last echo of a sun devoured by a singularity. Commander Maya Winters and her crew of the Event Horizon were on a mission no one else had dared to attempt: to study the black hole known as Acheron, named for the river that separated the living from the dead.

Behind Enemy Lines
The night was a constant roar. Sergeant Edward "Eddie" Wells could feel it in his bones—how the ground shook underfoot, how the air smelled of smoke and burning metal. The bombs had stopped falling for a brief moment, but the sound of sirens was still ringing in his ears. He was no longer sure if they were real or if his mind had simply become attuned to them. The city of London had become a battlefield, every inch of it marked by the scars of war.
