The Last Selfie from Earth
The skies were no longer blue. They bled in shades of orange and ash, thick with smoke from burning forests and decaying cities. Oceans had swallowed coastlines, once-bustling cities were now skeletal, and AI-driven machines roamed the streets — abandoned by their creators and left to wander without command. The planet had become a haunted graveyard of human ambition and arrogance.

Beneath the Broken Sky
The sun rose over Gaza that morning like it always did—soft, hesitant, and blood-orange against the horizon. But beneath that sky, a child named Amina crouched in the corner of a collapsed building, her small fingers clutching a dirty cloth to muffle her brother’s cries.

The Rise of Giant Rats: What’s Lurking in Britain's Backyards?
When a pest control technician recently stepped into a quiet house in Normanby, North Yorkshire, he wasn’t prepared for what he found.

Among those redefining this space is Yasmin Bashirova, whose work illustrates the depth and breadth of impact that can be achieved without entering a courtroom.
