**"The Black-Eyed Child at My Door"**
The rain hammered against my windows like a thousand tiny fists, relentless and angry. I sat curled up on my couch, a book in one hand and a lukewarm cup of tea in the other, trying to ignore the storm outside. My house—a small, creaky thing at the edge of the woods—had always felt safe. Until that night.

**"How I Made $10,000 in a Month (Without a Job)"**
The Breaking Point Three months ago, I was sitting on my worn-out couch, staring at my dwindling bank account with a sinking feeling in my stomach.

The Neighbour Who Vanished at 3 AM

# **The Last Letter from Emma**
**June 12, 1944** The letter arrived on a Tuesday. I remember because that was the day the bakery down the street was bombed, and the scent of burnt sugar mixed with gunpowder hung in the air.

Rain rattled down over flickering neon signs, washing the dust from centuries-old bricks like a benediction.

But a shadow loomed over his dazzling feet – a shadow cast by his own stature. By age 11, while his peers shot upwards, Leo remained heartbreakingly small, standing just 4 feet 2 inches (1.27 meters). The whispers started, not about his magic, but about his size: "Too small... He'll never make it... He's not built for this." The truth, however, was far more profound than mere genetics.

The firestorms lit up the night sky like a second sun, consuming every page, every story, every truth the Ministry deemed dangerous. They called it “The Great Erasure.” Knowledge was declared a threat. Books were sedition. Memory became a crime.
