Murder in the Chatroom: A Killer Among Friends
Chapter 1: The Last Message The WhatsApp group chat, Class of ’15, had been a digital time capsule for seven high school friends. For a decade, they shared memes, life updates, and gossip, their bond unbroken despite college, careers, and distance. On May 20, 2025, at 11:43 p.m., the chat lit up with a message from Sophie Tran: “I know what you did. You can’t hide it forever.” A minute later, another: “Meet me at the old pier, midnight. Or I tell everyone.”

Chapter 1: The Invitation The email arrived in their inboxes at midnight, sleek and irresistible. Five influencers—each with millions of followers on X, Instagram, and TikTok—were invited to an exclusive retreat on Isla Esmeralda, a private island off the Bahamas. The pitch was perfect: a week of luxury, sponsored by a mysterious tech startup called Lumora. Free content for their feeds, all expenses paid, and a chance to “redefine influence.” The catch?

Journal of Mohandas K. Gandhi
March 15, 1930 – Sabarmati Ashram The Ashram Constitution This morning, under the neem tree at the center of our ashram, I gathered the elders, the weavers, the young satyagrahis, and even the children. The early light filtered through the branches like a benediction. We sat not as leaders and followers, not as high and low, but as equals—braiding purpose from silence.

Haul Away the Anchor. Content Warning.
APRIL 2025 Nettie grins widely as she speaks. “She reminisced for a time, but Thomas was patient. He knew he’d be getting the story of a lifetime, so he sat in silence with her until she was ready. They remained that way for half an hour; she only looked back at him when the sky got so dark, she couldn’t see the water anymore.”

Her County: Part 4
PART 1 PART 2 PART 3 I had been running for some time before exhaustion overcame me. Every time I whipped around, looking behind me to the blackened woods, my eyes were haunted by the lingering imprint of those wide, hollow pupils, etched into my mind. I slowed, coming to an overgrowth, falling onto my hands and knees, laboriously heaving straining breaths. My elbows buckled with each inhale, quaking threateningly with every hot sigh, like some retching animal. My eyes stung as I forced them open, quickly realising every blink brought back that horrid face, hiding in the darkness of my eyelids. The jagged and harsh menagerie of splintered twigs, damp moss, and dirt sprinkled rocks were a hazy blur in my sight.

A Blade for Her Name Part 5
Snow fell like memory in the Vale of Blackroot—soft, steady, ancient. The sky was a pale wound above jagged cliffs, clouds stretched thin like torn vellum. Beneath the weight of that silence, the air felt heavier, as if holding its breath for what came next.

Businesswoman Chapter 147
Drops of sunlight glistened in the afternoon on the balcony of Lisa’s apartment. Furiously, she hand wrote her manifesto. Seemingly forever frustrated, she sketched out her ideas like a nuclear physicist would map out the specific formula for constructing a hydrogen bomb.
