.“The Day Dreams Became Currency”
The Day Dreams Became Currency No one remembers exactly when the dreams began to disappear. Some say it was the night the skies turned violet; others swear it started when the banks collapsed for good. But everyone agrees on one thing: overnight, the economy changed.

“The Library at the End of Time”
The Library at the End of Time No one saw the library arrive. On Tuesday morning, it simply stood where the old hardware store had been the night before — a long, low building of black stone and silver-framed windows, glittering faintly even under the grey Vermont sky.

“I Thought I Knew Failure—Until My Worst Project Taught Me Everything”
I used to think I knew what failure was. In college, I failed a math exam and had to repeat the class. Later, I was rejected from three job applications in a single week. I thought those were crushing moments—proof that failure had staked its claim on me. But they were nothing compared to the disaster that came when I poured everything I had into one project that, in the end, completely collapsed.
