The Night Detective Rios Broke the Rules
M Mehran Detective Elena Rios had never broken a rule in her life—not the small ones, not the big ones, not even the ones no one remembered existed. The department used to joke that if you opened her wallet, a laminated copy of the city code would fall out.

A Christmas Crime: A Chilling Holiday Horror Story That Will Haunt Your Festive Season
A Christmas Crime: A Chilling Holiday Horror Story That Will Haunt Your Festive Season Let’s be honest—when we think of Christmas, we conjure images of cozy fireplaces, heartfelt laughter, and the warm, spicy scent of mulled wine. It’s a season wrapped in a blanket of nostalgia and good cheer. But what if that blanket smothered instead of comforted? What if the twinkling lights hid shadows better left unseen? Welcome to a different kind of holiday tale. This isn’t about Santa’s arrival down the chimney, but about something else slipping in from the cold. This is A Christmas Crime, a holiday horror story that delves into the chilling truth that sometimes, the most frightening things come dressed in tinsel and fake snow, waiting for the silent, holy night to hide their sins.

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 Shadow on Bramble Street
M Mehran The night Mrs. Ellery disappeared, Bramble Street held its breath. Detective Rowan Pierce arrived at the scene just past 11 p.m., greeted by the glow of porch lights and neighbors gathered like moths.

The Girl in Apartment 4B
M Mehran The first thing Officer Lena Hale noticed about Apartment 4B was the silence. Not the normal kind—the heavy, suffocating kind that felt staged. Manufactured.

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.

Revisiting Jeffrey Epstein's "Demise": Here's What We Know Now
Every once in a while, a story comes along that refuses to stay buried. Most scandals eventually fade; the news cycle moves on; people lose interest. But the Jeffrey Epstein saga is not one of those stories. It lingers. It mutates. It resurfaces when you least expect it. And the more I try to step away from it, the more I find myself pulled back in.

The Silent Twins: A Bond So Deep It Terrified Everyone Who Tried to Break It
There are mysteries made of missing people, strange footprints, or odd camera footage. Then there are mysteries like that of June and Jennifer Gibbons — two girls who never disappeared, never hid, never ran… yet remained unreadable, unreachable, and ultimately unexplainable. Their story feels less like true crime and more like a psychological ghost story written in real time.

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.
