"Passenger Princess"
The bright rays of sunlight streamed into the office, casting warm patterns across the desk as Sarah leaned back in her chair, staring blankly at the ceiling. "Another boring day," she muttered to herself, her sigh almost imperceptible amidst the hum of activity outside her room. Moments later, the familiar aroma of freshly brewed coffee wafted through the air as the office peon gently placed a cup on her desk. She forced her usual smile—a polite facade she had perfected over years of corporate monotony—to acknowledge his effort. In truth, the gesture felt hollow, like much of her day.

"The Clockmaker’s Dream"
In the forgotten town of Evermoor, where the fog clung to cobblestone streets like whispers of old stories, stood a peculiar little shop. The clockmaker’s shop was tucked between weathered, ivy-covered buildings, its sign barely legible. To step inside was to enter another world—dimly lit, full of glinting metal, and alive with the gentle hum of a hundred ticking clocks.

The Equation of Rest
The clock chimed at 3 a.m., its steady tone breaking the silence of my study. Slowly, I lifted my head off the table, fighting the pull of sleep as I blinked at the dim light of my desk lamp. "That was a good power nap," I muttered, trying to convince myself, even as exhaustion tugged at my eyes. With a determined sigh, I clicked on my stopwatch and glanced around my cluttered workspace. Pages were scattered across the table, each one filled with tangled equations and fragments of ideas. Numbers, formulas, and symbols all intertwined in the pursuit of a single goal—a proof that had eluded me for months.

"THE WATCH"
There was something hypnotic about the way the old watch ticked. It wasn’t just a timekeeper; it was a legacy. Passed down from one generation to the next, the watch had seen more than any human could. Its sleek silver casing, though slightly tarnished, gleamed under the dim glow of the lamps in Ethan’s small, cluttered apartment. He often found himself staring at it for hours, as if it held the answers to questions he didn’t know he had.

"OUT OF TIME"
Out of Time The room was quiet, except for the sound of pencils scratching on paper and the occasional rustling of exam sheets. The air felt thick with pressure, and every second seemed to slip away faster than I could keep up. I stared down at my exam paper, gripping my pencil tightly as if holding on could help me find the answers faster. My heart was pounding in time with the ticking of the clock. Time had always made me nervous, but today, it felt like it was working against me.

A New Lens on Empathy

I never gave much thought to the power of representation until one evening, while watching a TV show, I saw a scene that completely changed my perspective.

“Could noise be damaging the health of youth?”
In today’s bustling world, noise has become a constant presence, particularly in educational settings. Whether in urban environments or suburban areas, students face a relentless barrage of sounds from various sources: busy roads, aircraft flying overhead, loud music blaring from nearby homes, and the ever-present noise of television programs. The question arises: Can constant noise truly enhance learning, or is it merely a disruptive force, distracting students from their academic pursuits? After all, for many students, living near busy roads means they are continuously exposed to the hum of traffic, which can disrupt their focus and hinder their ability to absorb and retain information effectively.

“What Happens When Kindness Meets Deceit?”
Alexander stepped out into the cool night air, his mind still buzzing from a long day at work. It was nearly midnight, and the streets were quiet — almost too quiet. A few people were visible in the distance, but they were too far away to see clearly. He took a deep breath, enjoying the rare moment of peace and solitude. Just as he was about to turn and head home, an old woman suddenly appeared before him. She moved slowly, her frail figure wrapped in a long coat. As she walked past him, she dropped her purse, seemingly by accident.
