Stream of Consciousness
Narcissistic Ex-Partner:
When I first met my ex, they seemed perfect. They were charming, confident, and attentive. I thought I had found my dream partner. But the relationship turned out to be a cycle of manipulation and emotional highs and lows. It took me a long time to realize I was in a relationship with a narcissist.

Whispers of the Old Library
The air inside the library smelled of aged paper and dust, a scent Evelyn Carter had grown to love over the years. Nestled in the heart of her small town, the Carter Library had stood for nearly a century, its towering wooden shelves holding thousands of untold stories. Evelyn, a part-time librarian and aspiring writer, often found herself lost in its quiet corners, flipping through old books and imagining the lives of those who had once read them.

The Forgotten Melody
Sophia had always been drawn to the old piano in her grandmother’s house. It stood in the corner of the dusty living room, untouched for years. Its once-polished wooden surface had dulled, and the ivory keys had yellowed with age. Yet, whenever she visited, she found herself tracing her fingers over the keys, wondering about the stories they once told.

IS DEATH PART OF LIFE?
MY ANSWER IS - YES-💪 No one wants to die. Yet, what is to give light must endure burning. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. When my doctors told me I would die, unless I have surgery, it made me truly see that death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.

FEAR IN THINKING IS THIS ABILITY OR ILLNESS
In a bustling yet lonely city for a man named Benjamin, his life is filled with uniqueness that is difficult to explain to others. Since childhood, he has realized that his mind does not work like most people. His memory and understanding of the world are so sharp, as if his brain is an infinite storage, recording every event in detail that is impossible to forget. He can remember meetings 10 or even 30 years ago, complete with seconds, hours, and words spoken, as if it all happened yesterday.

Rituals, rites and rumours: how women claim power in Zimbabwe’s informal gold mines.
Many men on artisanal or small-scale gold mining sites are uncomfortable working with women in their syndicates because of this commonly held cultural belief, that women “pollute” the sacredness of the mining space.
