Zayden's Red Balloons
Zayden's Red Balloons My name is Zayden. I just turned three, and I love to climb. Dressers, couches, railings—anything I can get my feet on. Climbing makes me feel like Spider-Man. Maybe it's because up there, I feel noticed. Maybe it's the only time someone actually sees me.

The lion and the lamb
In the golden heart of a vast savannah, where the wind whispered secrets through tall grass and the sun watched with an ever-watchful eye, there lived a lion named Baran. His mane was dark as midnight, and his roar rolled over the plains like distant thunder. All animals feared him—not just because he was a hunter, but because he was alone, proud, and fierce.

Playground Static
The playground that stopped our joy. It still stands there, nestled between the crumbling school fence and the old maple trees. The same swing set, its chains slightly rusted. The monkey bars, chipped but deflated. The sandbox, half-filled, as if someone had intended to go back.

The Strength of Resilience. Content Warning. AI-Generated.
Life is full of challenges — unexpected losses, personal failures, emotional pain, and moments when everything feels like it's falling apart. Yet within each of us lies an extraordinary power: resilience — the ability to bend without breaking, to stumble but still rise, to suffer but not surrender.

Beneath the Rain Tree
There was an old rain tree in the center of Mira Valley, its massive branches stretching like arms over the open hill, casting a dappled shadow over the grass below. For decades, it stood quiet witness to wind, birds, time, and something else far rarer—a love story that waited.

The Ghost of the House
Ahsan, Alina and Fizza were siblings. Fizza was young, but she always spoke the truth. Ahsan and Alina were scolded by their parents and grandparents for speaking the truth. One day, they planned to take revenge on Fizza. They decided on Friday, because on that day, their mother went to the Friday market and their grandfather went to listen to the sermon.

The Robot Wife
Two Wives and No Peace Ahmed had been married twice. The first wife was a non-stop critic — from his socks to his soul, nothing escaped her sharp tongue. The second one barely spoke, and when she did, it was just to say, “Fine.” Both marriages ended in disaster. Either he was too complicated to understand, or perhaps, he never tried to understand anyone at all.

Spreading Islamophobia Online
They say Islam oppresses women. That Sharia is cruel. That Islamic punishments are barbaric. But these claims are rarely examined in the light of truth. The rights Islam gave to women—centuries before any modern constitution—are hardly ever acknowledged. Islam established a woman’s right to inherit, own property, seek knowledge, and live with dignity and safety. These rights were not gifts of the West or of liberal movements, but divine legislation. Still, this history is deliberately hidden or distorted.
