Family
I have been thinking about this for 40 years and still can't figure it out. This is my real experience. How can science explain it?
It was the summer of 1984. I was fifteen years old and lived in a small town in the south. My life was not very good. At that time, television was not popular. People's nightlife was to enjoy the cool in the yard, play poker, or listen to the neighbors' stories about supernatural powers. I never believed in those things until something happened that night that still puzzles me.

Are We in a Loneliness Epidemic?
We live in an age where we can message a friend across the world in seconds, share our lives with hundreds of people online, and never truly be "offline." And yet, so many of us are quietly asking the same question: Why do I feel so alone?

The Day Time Stood Still
The sky over the city was unusually quiet that Thursday afternoon. Crowds bustled through crosswalks. Street musicians played their tired melodies. Somewhere, a siren wailed faintly in the distance. But none of that registered in Elena’s mind.

The Final Mail
The Monday morning sun pierced through the half-open blinds of the 14th floor. Inside the quiet corner of Crestwave Technologies, Arman Ahmed sat staring at his screen. The cursor blinked at the end of the words: Subject: Letter of Resignation.

Ghost of my heart
When Eleanor first moved into the old Winslow estate, she wasn’t expecting ghosts. She was expecting silence, isolation, and time to heal. After all, a centuries-old manor perched atop a mist-shrouded cliff wasn’t where people went to chase love. They went there to forget.

What I Learned from Being Ghosted by My Best Friend
We never had a fight. That’s what still haunts me the most. No yelling. No tears. No dramatic confrontation. Just a quiet drifting, so slow and subtle I didn’t realize it was happening until it was over.

Tomorrow’s Utopia
In 2149, humanity conquered sadness. The Global Neural Grid (GNG) was hailed as the pinnacle of human achievement—a mesh of AI, biotech, and quantum empathy that rewired brains to prioritize joy. Wars ceased. Poverty vanished. Even the weather bent to humanity’s whims: hurricanes dissolved into rainbows, and winters were just "aesthetic snow" that didn’t chill. But perfection, as the Grid’s engineers failed to predict, has a funny way of unraveling.

The Bus Stop Stranger
I was late—again. The rain was relentless, drumming against my umbrella like it was trying to shake me out of my fog. I had just left the office, soaked in more than just rain: burnout, boredom, and the dull ache of a life on autopilot. My job in digital marketing paid the bills, but it was eating me from the inside out.
