A Christmas Wish Under the Desert Stars
The desert seemed endless, its golden dunes glowing with the sunset's last rays. As the night drew in, a sea of stars twinkled overhead, and their light reflected on the sand in a way that seemed to make the whole scene magical. For Amira, this was home, but tonight, it felt different. It was Christmas Eve, a holiday not usually commemorated in her small desert village, hidden away deep within the Sahara. Yet, something inside of her stirred-a wish she carried deep within her heart.

Project Stoker
Dearest reader, Thank you for taking the time to look at my lovely project here. Sadly I must inform you that this story does not have any follow-on parts planned for shortcoming release. Rather, it is the result of a mind clamouring to create, without really knowing what it does.

Gladiator II: A Return to the Sands of the Colosseum!
In the distant yet somehow close year of 2000, Gladiator burst into cinemas like a storm, earning box office glory and a rain of Oscars while solidifying Russell Crowe’s career. Ridley Scott managed to enthrall audiences with the epic tale of Maximus Decimus Meridius. The film’s monumental success resurrected the peplum genre, leading to a cascade of sword-and-sandal films such as Troy, Alexander, 300, and King Arthur. Even video games weren’t left untouched, with Shadow of Rome and the now-iconic God of War taking up the gladiatorial torch.

Religion & Relationships. Content Warning.
Can’t We All Just Get Along? The topic of religiosity and its impact on relationships has always fascinated me. From birth, external influences shape much of our identity, particularly in the context of religion. As we gain knowledge, it becomes apparent that some belief systems may struggle to evolve alongside new discoveries. This resistance can lead to judgment, division, and an “us versus them” mentality, which I find to be detrimental to an already divided society.

Wicked: Was It Worth The Hype?
Yes. Yes, it was. Wicked, the recent movie adaptation of the famous 2003 musical, has received an overwhelming amount of media attention, both positive and negative. In fact, a shocking number of controversies surrounded the film way before it came out less than a week ago.
