The Classroom With No Doors
M Mehran When Maya stepped into Room 12 for the first time, she thought she had made a terrible mistake. The walls were bare. The desks didn’t match. The single window looked out onto a parking lot.

The Azure Palate
The fluorescent hum of Room 207 usually cast a pallor over the students, mirroring the drab textbooks and the even drabber drone of Mr. Henderson's history lessons. But today, a new energy vibrated in the air. Ms. Anya Sharma, with her kaleidoscope scarves and eyes that seemed to hold both starlight and deep ocean currents, stood before them.

THE ALBINO LION. Content Warning.
The Senate chamber was colder than usual that morning. Perhaps it was the spring wind slipping through the cracks in the marble, or maybe it was the tension—sharp and metallic—that seemed to float in the air like dust. Senators whispered in clusters, their purple-striped togas sweeping the polished floor, their gazes flicking toward the tall, dark-skinned general who stood in the center of the assembly like a pillar carved from obsidian.
