The Black Window
In a little, failed to remember town, there stood an old, haggard house at the edge of the backwoods. Individuals seldom cruised by, and the people who did, rushed their means, keeping away from the cool, shocking presence that appeared to leak from the obscured windows. The house had been deserted as far back as anybody could recollect, and its most unmistakable component was a huge, dark window on the upper floor. It was said that nobody could see through that window, regardless of the hour of day or how brilliant the daylight sparkled.

Worth The Wait Part9. Content Warning.
Rami reclined in his office chair, idly twirling a set of Baoding balls in his left hand. Things were finally falling into place for him at the department. He had held the position of lead detective for over a year now, forging connections with colleagues both clean and corrupt, who had shown him the ins and outs of playing the game. Playing dirty never deterred Rami; if anything, it emboldened him. His father, a man well-acquainted with bending the law, had once told him, “Sometimes you’ve got to play the hand you’re dealt. And sometimes, you keep a few extra cards for leverage.” It was a lesson he never forgot. There were moments when he longed to stop looking over his shoulder, but the power had a way of consuming him. Each passing day made him feel more… untouchable.

Tides of Survival: A Journey Through the Storm
I was on a beach in the United States, alone, even though there had been warnings about dangerous weather. I didn’t worry about it much. The air was warm, and the sound of the ocean usually made me feel peaceful, but something felt different this time. There was a sense of unease in the air, as if the wind carried a warning. Suddenly, I noticed a change in the horizon. The sky turned dark quickly, and far out in the ocean, I could see huge whirlpools forming. Hurricanes started appearing like shadows on the water, and before I knew it, the waves were growing fast and getting bigger.
