The Radio That Broadcasts the Dead
The first call came at 2:07 a.m. Mara Lane, the new host of “NightPulse 103.3”, had just settled into her third week behind the mic. It was the dead hour—midnight to 4 a.m.—the time when truckers, insomniacs, and the unhinged called in with conspiracy theories and lonely thoughts. She wasn’t expecting much. She never did.

The King’s Garden of Shadows
Once upon a time, in a kingdom surrounded by seven rivers and veiled in the perfume of eternal jasmine, there reigned a King known by the title "Raheem the Wise." His rule was not forged in blood but in books, not sustained by swords but by silence and soul-searching. His palace had no iron gates, only whispering wind-chimes and vines of lilies climbing its golden pillars.

The Slave Who Knew the Stars
Once upon a time, in the ancient kingdom of Zaheerabad, nestled between black mountains and golden deserts, lived a Prince named Kamraan, son of the mighty King Ubaid. The Prince was fair in face and feared in sword, taught in the philosophies of men but untouched by the lives of those beneath him. The palace was carved from marble, adorned with silk and mirrors, but behind its glistening curtains brewed storms invisible to the blind.

The Garden of Mirrors: A Tale of Two Thrones
Part I: The Echoes of the Orchard In an ancient land where rivers whispered secrets and mountains bore silent witness to time, there existed two mighty kingdoms, separated by a sea of sand and centuries of silence. One was Zahran, a land veiled in mist, where the people believed that dreams were fragments of lost truths. The other was Elburz, whose people trusted only what the eye could see and the hand could hold.

Plato in the Wasteland
“We were born in the vault. We died in the vault.” — Fallout This haunting line from the videogame Fallout 3 encapsulates more than just a fictional setting; it echoes a philosophical idea, first articulated over two thousand years ago by Plato in his famous Allegory of the Cave. In this thought experiment, Plato describes a group of prisoners confined since birth in a dark cave, chained in place and forced to stare at a wall. Behind them burns a fire, and between the fire and the prisoners, puppeteers cast shadows on the wall. These shadows are all the prisoners know. To them, this play of light is reality. But one prisoner escapes and ascends to the surface, blinded at first by the sun. As his eyes adjust, he sees the real world: objects, light, and the source of what Plato perceived as the truth of all things. The perfect form of ideas. When he decides to return and free the others, they mock him, and if given the chance, would kill him for disturbing their illusion. The sure thing is that he will be met with negative and sometimes dangerous reactions from his fellow prisoners.

The Silent Bell of Khorasan
Once, in the dusty and sun-scorned province of Khorasan, when the crescent moon hung like a blade in the heavens and kings were named after lions but ruled like foxes, there lived a monarch known as King Zulfiqar the Just—a title given not by the people, but carved in golden plates by his own court poets.

The Cursed Goblet of Ghumra
Once, in the sun-baked kingdom of Ghumra, ruled a king whose name was Gharsheed—adorned in jewels, feared by thousands, praised by poets who were whipped if they dared otherwise. The throne was carved of tusks, the court was of gold, and the prisons—of bone. Justice, in his realm, was a servant that limped. Mercy was blind, and wisdom wore shackles.

When God Played Piano. Content Warning.
He came in the middle of a hot, dirty summer. The kind where the ground stuck to your boots and the air felt like a thick soup. Nothing was paved, just mud and flies. And the trees... they were more like gallows. Men hanging, swaying like broken wind chimes.

Time is Money 💰
In the city of Chronovale, time wasn’t just measured—it was currency. Every citizen wore a sleek, silver wristband that ticked down their life’s seconds, each tick a coin spent on survival. Rent, food, love—everything cost time. The wealthy hoarded years, their wristbands glowing with surplus, while the poor scrambled, their bands dimming toward zero. Elias Kane was one of the latter, a street artist whose wristband flickered at 3 days, 7 hours, and 42 minutes.

Why is there evil in the world?
No one knew when the Weaver arrived in the village. She simply appeared one morning, hunched beneath a heavy black shawl, her face hidden, hands always busy with her loom.
