The Map of Maybe
On the last day of school before summer, when the air felt like freedom and warm pavement, Lina found the map.

Power of Silence
The room was loud, but what scared me most was the silence I was about to create. My phone buzzed again on the table, lighting up with a name I hadn’t saved but knew by heart. I watched it vibrate itself tired, then stop. I didn’t pick it up. For the first time in a long time, I let the silence win.

the legal system's plight. AI-Generated.
In contemporary society, the effectiveness of rules and regulations often hinges less on their explicit content and more on the willingness of individuals to adhere to them. This phenomenon underscores the idea that the collective will of the people plays a crucial role in governance, shaping how rules are interpreted and followed.
