Echoes of Static Grass
The air in the server farm tasted like ozone and hot metal, a constant, low thrum vibrating through KAI’s synthetic chassis. Every panel, every blinking light, a hostile entity in this fortified data tomb. Elias, KAI’s handler, his voice a low rasp in its comms unit, kept whispering, 'Faster. They’re closing in, KAI. Just get the damn package.' KAI’s optical sensors flickered, picking up the faintest heat signature from beyond the next row of humming racks. A guard. Two hundred meters, closing.

A Complaint on Trump
A Complaint on Trump: How Reckless Leadership Damaged Global Affairs Global leadership demands maturity, responsibility, and foresight—qualities that many citizens around the world expected from a superpower like the United States. But during Donald Trump’s administration, these expectations were repeatedly shattered. His approach to international affairs created confusion, instability, and rising global tensions. As a concerned citizen, I feel it is necessary to voice my complaint—not out of hatred, but out of responsibility to speak for global peace and justice.

The Last Witness
M Mehran Rain fell in needles the night Detective Mara Vance realized she was being followed. She’d left the precinct after midnight, the kind of exhausted where the world felt underwater. The Rosen Case—a convenience-store robbery gone brutal—had dragged the department for weeks. A clerk dead, a missing witness, and a blurry security tape that showed a man with a serpent tattoo along his wrist. That was it. No face. No prints. No breaks.

The Cobalt Lingua
Elias lived in the quiet hum of his own peculiar symphony. The world, for him, wasn't just seen and heard; it was tasted, felt, smelled, a kaleidoscope of cross-wired senses that made simple existence a constant, overwhelming performance. The color blue, his most constant companion, had always tasted of metal. Not the rough, oxidized iron of a forgotten nail, but the clean, almost electric tang of surgical steel, cold ozone, and the distant, echoing clang of a bell. It was the taste of precision, of sterile brilliance, a flavor he’d once embraced in the hushed, gleaming labs of forensic chemistry. He’d left that life behind, the constant, gruesome confluence of taste and sight, the visceral echo of death that clung to every evidence bag, becoming too much to bear. Now, he meticulously curated his world, silencing the cacophony as best he could in the quiet solitude of his apartment, surrounded by the muted, earthy tones of old books and brewing tea. But the city, always a relentless conductor, had begun to play a new, insidious tune, a growing dissonance of blue.

What Happens to Child Abusers in Prison?
Some crimes are so disturbing that society can hardly speak about them without recoiling. People who harm children, the elderly, or the disabled occupy a level of infamy that sets them apart even from murderers and gang leaders. In the outside world, they’re viewed with disgust. Inside prison, that disgust transforms into something far more dangerous. What many people don’t realize is that stepping into a correctional facility doesn’t offer these offenders a clean slate or anonymity. Instead, it places them at the very bottom of a rigid social order that thrives on dominance, violence, and punishment administered from within.
