Satire
Chalupa Gangsta . Content Warning.
It was a large barrel. That was he thought has he stared down the gun. He wasn't sure, how longit would be, but not this big. The pimply kid behind the counter looked less than 16 years old. The kid was stoned faced, as if this wasn’t his first rodeo but Matt doubted that. This kid had almost a marine level of control under his belt.

The Room Number
The Room Number – Part 1 I didn’t come to the coast looking for trouble. I came to forget. The hotel was everything the brochure promised — marble lobby, sweeping ocean views, and the kind of staff who smiled without actually looking at you.

Whispers Between Frost and Bloom
By [Masih ullah] They say the forest speaks, but only between seasons. At the edge of Elowen Wood, where snow still clings to the roots and buds tremble in the hush of late winter, the villagers dare not tread. Not in the gap days—those few, quiet hours where winter still breathes, and spring has just begun to stir. The old folk call it the Whispering. The children call it nonsense. And every year, one wanderer listens.

The Letter I Was Never Meant to Read
By Nadeem Shah It was tucked inside the back of an old shoebox—between brittle birthday cards and a black-and-white photo of a woman I didn’t recognize. I wasn’t supposed to find it. But fate has a cruel way of revealing things when you’re least prepared.

The music blasted throughout the C-130. He checked the seals of the gray jumpsuit before doing a final weapons check, feeling his excitement rising. George loved what he did, a fact that earned George’s firm-mandated shrink a new yacht.

Under the Crimson Sky
By Nadeem Shah The sky bled red the evening I returned to Raven Hollow. I hadn’t been back in twelve years—not since the night everything I believed in was shattered. The roads felt narrower, the trees darker, like the whole town was holding its breath, waiting for me to remember what I’d tried so hard to forget.
