The Marathoner's Last Breath. Content Warning. AI-Generated.
Lina stood at the starting line, her heart pounding in her chest. The air was thick with heat, the kind that clung to your skin and pressed down on you with every breath. Around her, the other runners stretched and focused, their faces drawn tight with concentration. But Lina wasn’t thinking about the other runners. She wasn’t even thinking about the race ahead. Instead, her mind was thousands of miles away, back home in the small, dusty village where her family was crowded around an old, crackling television set, waiting for her to make them proud.

A Journey to the Taj Mahal
The trip from Delhi to Agra is near three hours, slicing through the focal point of the Indian open country. From the train window, I looked as the excited anarchy of the capital clouded, giving way to normal scenes specked with cows, ranchers in striking turbans, and patches of mustard handles that blossomed splendid yellow under the daylight.

Everything around seems softer, muted by the fog that rolls gently over the landscape. The earth, still cold from the night, lies silent, waiting for the sun's warmth to stir it to life.
