The Cage of Conscience
The Cage of Conscience BY:Khan It was one o’clock at night, and Majid Ahmed was awake. Sleep had abandoned him as if it had severed all ties. His life was drenched in despair. He was alive, yet not truly living—his body merely existing, his breath continuing mechanically. He sat in a prison cell, surrounded by walls filled with horror. The fear of loneliness gnawed at him from every corner. Helpless, he could not leave the confines of the cell, and no one came to see him. Ever since he had been imprisoned, the world outside had become alien to him. Friends and relatives had grown distant, and the colors of life had faded. He had become a portrait of hopelessness, lost in conversations with himself, asking questions only he could hear, seeking answers that seemed forever beyond reach.

From Defense to War: What a U.S. “Ministry of War” Would Mean
What if the United States government announced tomorrow that it was renaming the Department of Defense to the Ministry of War? At first glance, it might seem like nothing more than a change in language. But in politics, language is never just language—it shapes perception, frames policy, and influences how nations see themselves and one another. A shift in terminology from “defense” to “war” would represent a dramatic transformation in America’s identity and global posture.

XV . Content Warning.
TW: Murder "Knock, knock, knock" is all she heard. Shiloh was sitting in her living room, watching a scary movie around 8pm when she heard the knocking. Shiloh was only 16 but knew better than to answer the door when her parents weren't home. She only had on a small lamp in the whole house so she immediately paused the TV and shut out the light. "I know you're in there" an eery voice whispered. Shiloh shuddered. This didn't seem right. It was the Eve of Halloween so she assumed it was probably just a neighborhood kid pulling a prank. She still didn't dare answer the door. She did grab her phone, turn it on silent and texted her mom "someone is at the door. Can you look at camera?" Moments later her mom texted "I don't see anyone. Maybe you're hearing things? Watching scary movies again?" Her mother would soon regret not trusting her only daughter.

The Guardian of the Forest. AI-Generated.
When silence falls, nature whispers its greatest truths. The valley was a world of its own. Wrapped in emerald mountains and veiled with silver mist, it was a place where time slowed, where every rustle of leaves carried meaning. Here, the forest pulsed with a quiet rhythm—birds rising with dawn, rivers whispering to stones, insects composing symphonies after rain. To outsiders, it might have been just another stretch of wilderness, but to those who lived within, it was a sacred sanctuary.

The Silent Heist
M Mehran The city of Brookdale prided itself on being calm and predictable. Nestled between rolling hills and quiet rivers, it was the kind of place where shopkeepers knew customers by name, and neighbors left pies on each other’s porches. But in late autumn, something unusual shattered the town’s sense of security: the silent heist.

The Midnight Heist of Riverside Lane
M Mehran Riverside Lane had always been quiet, almost painfully so. Rows of brick houses, neatly trimmed hedges, and the soft hum of streetlights gave the illusion of safety. But beneath the calm surface, the neighborhood had a secret: for weeks, residents had been reporting missing items—small things at first, then more valuable: jewelry, electronics, even cash.
