The Love That Stays Off-Camera
I didn’t notice the fire until it was almost too late. It was a Tuesday in late October. Dry wind, brittle leaves, the kind of air that crackles with danger. I was inside, scrolling through bad news on my phone, when the smell hit—acrid, sharp, wrong. I ran outside just as smoke curled over the ridge behind our street.

The Last Gallop
In a small village nestled between golden wheat fields and sun-cracked hills, there lived a horse named Bahar. He wasn’t sleek or swift, nor did he have a pedigree worth boasting about. His coat was dull in places, his legs bore old scars, and one ear was half-torn from a long-forgotten storm.

The Space Between Noticing
The city woke up loudly, but Jonah always noticed the silence first. It lived in the early hours, tucked between the hum of traffic and the clatter of metal gates opening for business. It lingered in the spaces most people rushed through without a second thought. Jonah didn’t rush. He never had.

Postpartum Prolapse . AI-Generated.
When 34-year-old Hannah first noticed a deep pelvic heaviness a few weeks after giving birth, she did what many new mothers do: she dismissed it. “Everything down there feels weird after a baby,” she told herself. But the sensation didn’t fade. Some days it felt like pressure; other days it bordered on a bulge. On a warm Tuesday afternoon, while carrying her infant in a car seat across the driveway, she felt a sudden drop – an unmistakable shift.
