Teenage years
Echoes of the Past. Content Warning.
In the heart of Willowbrook, where the trees whispered secrets and the wind carried the echoes of forgotten tales, there lay a forest—Willowbrook Woods—a place where the boundary between the living and the dead blurred into nothingness. Beneath the canopy of ancient oaks and gnarled branches, there lay a secret buried deep within the earth—a secret that would soon be unearthed, setting into motion a chain of events that would forever alter the fate of the town.

Echoes of Laughter. Content Warning.
In the heart of a buztling town, where the laughter of children mingled with the rustle of autumn leaves, there stood a carnival—a place of wonder and whimsy by day, but a realm of shadows and secrets by night. Among its myriad attractions, there was one that whispered of darker truths—a funhouse known as Laughing in the Dark, where the echoes of laughter concealed a sinister secret that would haunt the dreams of those who dared to enter.

Echoes of Sentience
Echoes of Sentience In the heart of a sprawling metropolis, where concrete towers scrape the sky, lies a clandestine laboratory cloaked in shadows. Within its sterile confines, Dr. Rachel Bennett, a brilliant scientist, toils tirelessly, her mind consumed by the pursuit of knowledge. For years, she has dedicated herself to unraveling the mysteries of consciousness, seeking to understand what truly separates humans from their simian counterparts. Rachel's quest is fueled not by ambition, but by compassion. As a child, she witnessed the cruel mistreatment of animals and vowed to dedicate her life to their cause. Now, on the cusp of a breakthrough, she stands on the precipice of a moral dilemma that will shake the very foundations of her beliefs. In a hushed chamber, Rachel's eyes gleam with anticipation as she gazes upon her latest creation – a chimpanzee named Atlas. Through painstaking genetic manipulation and cutting-edge technology, she has imbued Atlas with a heightened level of intelligence, granting him the ability to communicate and reason like never before. Yet, with each passing day, Rachel wrestles with a gnawing sense of unease. Is she playing god? Has she overstepped the bounds of ethical science? As Atlas grows more self-aware, Rachel finds herself drawn to him in ways she never imagined. Their bond transcends the boundaries of species, rooted in a shared desire for understanding and acceptance. Yet, as their connection deepens, so too does Rachel's guilt. She knows that Atlas is more than just an experiment – he is a living, breathing being with thoughts and feelings of his own. Outside the laboratory, tensions simmer as protests erupt in the streets. Animal rights activists decry Rachel's work as an abomination, condemning her for playing with forces beyond her control. Yet, Rachel remains steadfast in her convictions, convinced that her research holds the key to unlocking a brighter future for all sentient beings. But fate has other plans. One fateful night, as Rachel tends to Atlas in his enclosure, tragedy strikes. A fire erupts, engulfing the laboratory in flames. In a desperate bid to save her creation, Rachel rushes into the inferno, heedless of the danger that surrounds her. As the flames lick at her skin and smoke fills her lungs, Rachel's thoughts turn to Atlas, the one constant in her tumultuous life. In the midst of chaos, a miracle occurs. With a strength born of desperation, Rachel manages to rescue Atlas from the blaze, cradling him in her arms as they stumble into the night. Together, they emerge from the ashes, battered but unbroken, their bond stronger than ever before. In the aftermath of the fire, Rachel faces a reckoning. Though her research lies in ruins, her faith in humanity is restored. She realizes that true compassion knows no bounds – it transcends species, defying the constraints of society and science alike. With Atlas by her side, Rachel vows to continue her work, not as a scientist, but as a guardian of life in all its forms. As dawn breaks over the city, Rachel stands amidst the ruins of her laboratory, her heart heavy with sorrow yet filled with hope. In the eyes of Atlas, she sees a reflection of her own humanity, a reminder that, despite our differences, we are all bound by the same desire for love and understanding. And in that moment, as the world awakens to a new day, Rachel knows that she has found her purpose – to be a voice for the voiceless, a champion for the oppressed, and a beacon of hope in a world shrouded in darkness. For in the end, it is not the strength of our minds or the depth of our knowledge that defines us, but the compassion that resides within our hearts.

A Story of My Escaping Toxic Family Dynamics
“They’ll either want to kill you, kiss you, or be you.” ― Suzanne Collins, Mockingjay Family is often said to be what you are stuck with, and extended family is no different. We had seemingly good relations with my uncle’s family, even though my mom kept telling stories about their nonsense ways of connecting, or better yet, lack of connection as humans to members of their own blood. She always said she didn’t want to upset my dad. He always gave my uncle’s family money to help, without expecting anything in return. Ironically, this generosity stirred envy rather than gratitude.

Dearest
Your words, they fall like rain on my spirit, unkind and cold, Jesting in shadows, they pierce my heart, a story untold. When slurs slip from your lips, they cut through the air, A term that wounds deeply, it's too much to bear. Your jests at my friends, at the essence of who they are, Mocking the pronouns they cherish, it leaves a scar.

My friend was dying, and I was "CARELESS" to say goodbye
I will always remember "Sheeran" the way she was when we first met in school in 2010. It was fourteen years ago, on the school premises. She was with her partner in crime, and I was with mine. All four of us were lost playing hide and seek, and you won’t believe, from class 3 to 4, we never missed a single day playing hide and seek.
