The Things We Do in the Dark. Content Warning.

The Phone That Stole My Sister’s Life
The Phone That Stole My Sister’s Life BY:Khan Kiran woke Noor one morning with a scolding she meant as affection. “Kiran, get up — it’s morning. You stay up on your phone all night and then pretend you don’t hear the alarm. What do people even talk about on the phone all night?

If you’ve ever had one of those days where everything seems to go wrong before it even begins, then you’ll understand exactly how this story unfolded. Mine started with the sound of rain beating against my window on a Monday morning, the kind of weather that makes you want to stay under the blankets forever.

True Friendship: The Story of Zaman Ali’s Sacrifice
True Friendship: A Bond Beyond Time BY:Khan Friendship is a five-letter word, yet within these letters lie countless mysteries, secrets, and values. Only those who have experienced true friendship can truly understand its depth. Genuine friendship is not merely a bond; it is a sacred relationship that often surpasses ties like those of siblings, parents, or even children. When hearts are bound with the pure essence of friendship, even the most difficult tasks become easier. In such a relationship, there is no space for greed, jealousy, deceit, or malice. Instead, it paves the way to success and makes strangers feel like family.
