Boomers, Gen X, and Gen Z in One Living Room
"Is it hot in here or is it just the WiFi tension?" my cousin quipped as my family gathered around the oakwood table for what we optimistically labeled a "multi-generational game night." It was a modest attempt to bridge the growing canyon between my grandfather (a proud Boomer), my Gen X mother and uncles, and us—Gen Z kids raised on TikTok, therapy speak, and hyper-awareness.

The White Lamb
The White Lamb A Story of Sacrifice and Broken Promises Chapter 1: The Orphan (1946) The winter of 1946 was the coldest Armenia had seen in decades. Navasard found his nephew curled between the frozen bodies of his parents, their skeletal fingers still intertwined in death.

The Last Memory
Where Memory Ends, Love Remains Drip. Drip. Drip. The sound of the kitchen faucet was the only constant in Samuel Gray’s shrinking world. Morning light crept through the blinds, spilling across the faded linoleum. The once-lively house sat silent now—no footsteps, no laughter, just dust and time.

"A Mother's Love, Eternal and True"
Maya had never imagined that love could be so powerful until the moment she held her firstborn in her arms. Wrapped in a blue hospital blanket, his tiny fingers curled tightly around hers, as if he already knew he had found his forever place—right in his mother’s heart.

Sibling Rivalry Never Ends: But Here’s How We Called a Truce
It began with a broken lamp. Not just any lamp—but the ugly one with the dragon-shaped base and faded red shade that had sat in our parents' living room for decades. I’d always hated it, but my brother, Omar, claimed it was a "family heirloom."
