The Clock That Refused to Count Regret
Time Does Not Punish
Whenever regret filled a room, the clock paused. Not to trap anyone—but to prevent further harm. Only forgiveness restarted its movement. Time, it seemed, preferred healing over accuracy.

The River That Flowed Only When Observed
When no one watched, the river appeared still. But the moment someone sat beside it attentively, the water resumed its gentle movement. Scientists argued over causes. Children simply watched. The river taught that attention is not passive—it participates.

Fair Exchange, No Robberies
Dark Memoirs - Index There are at least two kinds of people in the world: those who write this half-arsed kind of intro to a story that looks to separate the rare and the norm, and those who realise it's an overused framing device and don't.

My Hobbies Are What For Living The Way That I Do
I live a life of reading and writing, which in turn means my hobbies are as follows: I love to write and read. When I was younger I was told at the age of six by a substitute teacher that I couldn’t read. My question is which six year old kid can actually read properly without having to sound out words? Not very many of them unless they were really taught by their parents before school. Now I am not saying that kids aren’t but I started school at the age of four, and learning things like reading happened at school. So it was hard but sounding out words at the age of six is how you learn how to read and I was doing just that, and the substitute teacher said I couldn’t read. However, a cousin who was in my class at the time, took me into the corner after she told the teacher that I could read and read the book with me. So ever since then I read all the time, I have a huge bookshelf with overflowing books. I read for at least twenty minutes or more a day, just to wind down. I have read my entire bookshelf at least twice and I have just added four more books to it that I am waiting to read because I am really into my iphone books right now.
