How to get your brain to focus
A few years ago, I began to observe something in my own behavior that made me a bit uncomfortable. And that was that from the moment that I woke up to the end of the day, my life was a series of screens. I started the day with the thing that woke me up first thing in the morning, my phone, and so I sat there in bed watching various cooking videos on Instagram and bouncing around between a bunch of different applications. But then it was time to get out of bed and cook breakfast, and so the thing that I focused then on, in addition to the omelette in the pan, was the iPad that was right next to the oven.

All the while, this little devil on my wrist was tapping and beeping and blooping and distracting me as I was trying to get important stuff done. But there was one particular offender out of all of these different devices that I wasted more time on than anything else.

The Palette of Life
In a quaint little town nestled at the foot of a misty mountain range, there lived a girl named Clara. Born with achromatopsia, Clara had never experienced color the way others did.

The Lighthouse Keeper's Love
Nestled on the edge of a rugged coastline stood an old lighthouse, its light sweeping across the restless sea. For years, it had been tended by a solitary man named Caleb, a quiet soul who found solace in the rhythm of the tides and the glow of his beacon.

The Key to the Forgotten Chest
On a rainy afternoon in the quiet town of Willow Creek, sixteen-year-old Clara stumbled upon a peculiar object while exploring her grandmother's attic. The attic was a treasure trove of forgotten items: dusty books, faded photographs, and trunks filled with relics of the past. But this discovery was different—a small, ornate key, rusted at the edges yet still gleaming faintly in the dim light. Clara turned it over in her hands, noticing the intricate designs etched into the handle.

THE STORY WRITER: The Untold Pages of Emma Caldwell
Emma Caldwell sat by the window of her modest apartment, staring at the blank page in front of her. Her trusty typewriter, a vintage Remington she’d found at a flea market, sat waiting for her next great idea. Outside, the world moved on—buses roared down the street, children laughed as they chased each other, and the city hummed with life. But Emma felt like she was standing still.

The Boy Who Found His Voice
Daniel Harper was an ordinary schoolboy in many ways. A quiet 13-year-old with messy brown hair, he preferred the corners of the classroom to the center stage. He wasn’t the star athlete or the class clown. Instead, he was the boy who always seemed to blend into the background, unnoticed by most and forgotten by many.

My Last Day on Earth
The morning light filtered softly through the curtains, casting golden streaks across the room. I lay in bed, savoring the quiet hum of life around me—the chirping birds, the distant laughter of children playing, and the faint aroma of coffee wafting through the air. Today was my last day on Earth.

The Great Escape
The air was heavy with silence, broken only by the rhythmic drip of water leaking from the ceiling. Malik sat hunched in the corner of the dimly lit cell, his heart pounding against his ribcage. His hands trembled, not from fear, but from a deep resolve. Tonight was the night.
