Manager's Duties
Manager's Duties: A Lesson Beyond the Office Door The first time Laura Hastings walked into the glass-paneled office of Veridian Tech, she wasn’t a manager.

Yours, Forever
It all began with a letter that shouldn’t have existed. Claire Whitmore, a literature professor in Vermont, had inherited an old cabin in the Adirondacks from her grandmother. It was the kind of place where forgotten memories slept under layers of dust and pine-scented air. Her plan was simple: spend two weeks clearing out the place and listing it for sale.

Red or Blue, My Lady?
The first note arrived in a velvet envelope, sealed with wax and the faint scent of lavender. It was placed carefully on Eleanor Whitford’s windowsill, where no postman could have reached. The message inside? Just five words: “Red or blue, my lady?”

You and Me
“Do you ever wonder what life would’ve been like if we hadn’t missed that train?” Emma asked, her fingers brushing the frosted window of the diner. Snowflakes danced outside, soft as the memories they stirred.

Buried in September
The first shovel hit something hard. Not a root, not a rock—something manmade. Tom Whitaker froze. The crisp September wind rustled through the trees of his late grandfather’s Vermont estate, but the stillness beneath his boots whispered of secrets far older than the house itself.

Lost in Paris
When Ava Turner landed in Paris, she wasn’t chasing romance or the Eiffel Tower glow. She was chasing silence—a break from the noise of New York City and the recent hum of heartbreak that had turned her apartment into an echo chamber of memories.

Untitled
Before smartphones and Spotify, there was a girl with a pen, a Walkman, and a heart full of verses. This is her story — not told in paragraphs, but in poetry. Not recorded on reels, but scribbled in notebooks during the final breaths of the 20th century.

Toxic Love
It began with a scream—but not the kind you'd run from. It was the kind that pulled you in, like velvet darkness. They said the Bellamy Manor had been abandoned since the 1800s, after a tragic love story turned sour. Locals avoided the place, claiming the air around it reeked of lavender and decay—too sweet, too wrong.
