The Bookstalker
The frozen peaks of the Giant's Teeth were one of the most remote places on the planet. The air was thin enough that it stole the breath from your lungs, and cold enough that it froze the tears on your face. It was the furthest you could be from any other living creature.

Spells of Blood & Kinship
An excerpt from a book of shadows, the tome of a wizard falling into Darkness: "Blood is Life. We feel it inside ourselves, we drink it from others, we taste it in the air. Blood is a source of power and holds secrets within it. It carries history and connects dynasties. Blood gives a person a flavour, a scent, that you can follow in the dark. Blood binds people together..."

Manu Bhaker - the beacon of hope for women in the gendered narrative of Indian sports
Manu Bhaker - the beacon of hope for women in the gendered narrative of Indian sports When a woman empowers herself in the endeavours of what she is excellent at, the ripple effect of her success serves as a beacon of hope and inspiration to millions of other women who aspire to accomplish their dreams. The road to success in sports for a woman in India is filled with narratives of disparity, prejudice, harassment and societal shunning. While many fall prey to injustice in their odyssey towards their goals, I find ecstasy and bliss in celebrating Manu Bhaker’s journey to secure a bronze medal in the Olympics. In this article, I examine the current status of Indian women in sports through the lens of the legendary victory of Manu Bhaker.

Casting Them Red-Handed...
Harlow Fasthands was only a middling wizard, but he was a brilliant detective and earned his steep fees by finding clues that local city guards could not find so crimes could be solved. Today it was a murder, the first the bustling fishing village of Nighthaven had seen in many years. A dwarven merchant had been found dead in his room at an inn, his neck cut. Blood was splattered across the walls and formed a puddle around his cooling body. Harlow knelt down next to the body and began chanting...

The Silent Warriors:
In the hushed silence of an Olympic arena, two rings dangle from the ceiling, swaying gently as they await the next athlete to test their mettle. The still rings, as they are aptly named, are deceptively simple in appearance—just two wooden or plastic circles suspended by straps. Yet, for nearly a century, they have been the stage for some of the most breathtaking displays of human strength, precision, and courage. They are the proving ground for those who dare to defy gravity and push the limits of the human body, an arena where history is written with every grip, swing, and hold.

The idea of the gun moll is something most of us associate with black-and-white news clips, or old gangster movies. She's that girl who's sitting on the gangster's lap, usually dressed up for a night on the town. Or she's the one in the fur stole leaning against the back of the mafia don's chair, her smile as warm as her eyes are cold. But it turns out, the actual evolution of the gun moll is even older than the images we associate with her.
