The Last Train
There was only one rule: don’t open the door. That’s what the conductor had told Max when he boarded the last train of the night after a grueling 12-hour hospital shift. The old man had clutched his arm, staring intensely until Max muttered a tired, “Yeah, sure,” and found a seat.

A Stargazing Summer Chapter 2
Lily opened the door as quietly as she could not wanting to wake her Gran if she finally settled to rest. The familiar hum of the television greeted her once she stepped inside.

A Stargazing Summer Chapter 1
Lily Parker yawned and took a sip of her coffee as she steered her car into the winding driveway of the Hawthorn Estate, which was already buzzing with activity. So much for being an early bird, she thought with a wry smile. The sun was beginning to rise, casting a golden glow over the sprawling grounds, and she could see clusters of people already gathered around tables laden with assorted items.

Finding My Way When the Map Was Torn
On Christmas of 2010, at the age of 25, I faced a moment that profoundly shaped my understanding of identity. It was a cold afternoon, the kind where festive cheer warms hearts, but mine was about to feel an icy sting. My mother, who had invited me over, was too intoxicated to open the door. Instead, it was my little brother, his eyes wide and innocent, who let me in. That moment hit me hard. It was like looking back at my own childhood, where my mom's battle with the bottle and screaming fights with her boyfriend were more the norm than Christmas presents and family dinners.

Mapping My Tomorrow: Crafting a Life Vision Beyond Goals
Creating goals can ignite a sense of hope and renewal, especially during New Year’s, which happens to be one of my favorite times for this very reason. However, despite my love for goal-setting, I’ve often found my objectives to be somewhat scattered, lacking a unifying focus. To remedy this, I’m taking a step that I believe could benefit anyone: crafting a vision for my ideal life. This vision is divided into categories that are profoundly meaningful to me: Physical Health, Mental Health, Relationships, and Business.

Building a Portfolio: An Author’s Journey to Financial Security
The Sweet Honey Pot of Newsbreak For the past few months, I’ve been making a full-time income writing for Newsbreak, giving my take on various local news stories. Earning money based on the number of views my articles receive, it’s been the easiest money I’ve ever made. Writing just six articles of 250 words a day has brought in over $2,000 each month.

Digital Crumbs
In the neon-lit city of New Kettering, technology was king, and screens were the portals to endless possibilities. The Carlson family was an average, middle-class family navigating the labyrinth of modern life. But for Hansel and Gretel Carlson, two siblings, the digital age was about to become a nightmarish reality.

Aphrodite’s Whisper
Before the dawn of humanity, before the first heartbeat echoed through the void, the gods existed in a realm of ethereal possibilities, a dreamscape nestled between thought and reality. Their world was a whisper away from ours, separated by the thinnest veil of imagination. Among these timeless beings, Aphrodite, the goddess of love, was a standout figure, known for her breathtaking beauty and enchanting charm.

Morpheus' Gift: The Birth of Dreams
Once upon a time, in the primordial era when the gods were just beginning to understand their places in the mortal realm, Morpheus, the god of dreams, found himself facing a problem. This minor deity, a master of illusions, had a grand capability that could craft visions more beautiful and terrifying than anything that existed in reality. But Morpheus was stifled by his limitation: his captivating creations were solely for his eyes. What use were such grand illusions if there were no spectators to appreciate them?
