The Endless Canvas
Somewhere beyond the tangible world, past the whispers of the wind and the sighs of the oceans, there existed a place called the Endless Canvas.

"The Clockmaker’s Paradox''. AI-Generated.
In a forgotten corner of a narrow cobbled street, tucked between buildings that leaned with age and sighed with the wind, stood a clock shop. The sign above the door read simply: “Meridius Timecrafts.” Most walked past it without a second glance, dismissing it as a relic from another era.

The Forgotten Sketchbook That Solved a 50-Year-Old Murder
It started with a house I didn’t even want. The property had been abandoned for decades, nestled on the edge of a sleepy countryside town where secrets age like wine—gaining strength with time. My grandfather left it to me in his will, a place I had only heard about in passing. I was a city artist with a studio above a noisy café, not someone who remodeled creaky old homes. But after a rough breakup and a string of failed commissions, I found myself packing up and heading there—if only for a change of scenery.

We learn from dance about building better cities
Can Movement Motivate Superior Cities? How Development Shapes Sustainable Urban Planning City life teems with activity, but how we tend to navigate cities can have a huge impact not just on the environment but also on our personal health.

Might the key to reshaping our cities be found in a surprising realm — dance?

Snow Vein. AI-Generated.
He woke again because of the cold touch on his neck. Morning light seeped through the cracks in the warped glass window, fragile and pale, casting a silver shimmer across the sweat glistening on his brow. His name was Samuel Evans, once a celebrated architect of northern libraries and winter sanctuaries, now a quiet recluse in a southern town slowly being devoured by the sun.

The Last Child of Earth. AI-Generated.
The year is 2094. Earth is clean, quiet, and organized. There is no war, no hunger, no disease. There are no children. The birthrate, once a number buried in academic journals, fell year after year until it simply... stopped. Humanity achieved immortality through genetic engineering—but lost its ability to reproduce. A sacrifice no one noticed until it was far too late.

The Phoenix's Echo in the Fire of Imagination
Perhaps, if we don't want to be too pessimistic, we could say that the only use of unrequited love is to draw upon its sorrow in art; because, at the beginning of their work, the artist needs imagination, and the fuel for this process is the feeling of sorrow as a powerful and inspiring source.

In the heart of Mumbai, amid the maze of concrete and chaos, lived a man named Raghav Mehra.
