River
Auther Name Hazratullah In the heart of the earth, far away from human eyes, a tiny drop of water was born. It seeped through the cracks of ancient stones, merged with others, and began to form a small stream. That humble trickle did not know that one day it would transform into a mighty river, carving valleys, nourishing forests, and carrying stories of civilizations upon its waves.

Marvel/DC Comics Presents #6
Dr. Strange/Dr. Fate Baltimore, Maryland 1968 The night air had a strange chill for a summer night. A lone taxi’s fare stepped out before a brownstone apartment and gauged the area after paying the driver. He stared at the building noticing that even with the street lamp it seemed darker than expected . As the taxi drove away, he walked towards the apartment building. The air felt more peculiar and familiar as he walked up the steps to the front door.

The Café Where Time Stood Still
The rain was relentless that afternoon, washing the streets in silvery streaks that reflected neon signs and hurried umbrellas. I ducked into a narrow alley, hoping for a shortcut, when I saw it: a small café tucked between two tall buildings, almost as if it had been hiding from the world. Its sign read simply “Café Temps.”

Oracle in Aeon Verge. Runner-Up in The Shape of the Thing Challenge.
Oracle is digital, outdated - composed of pixels and cascading binary code. She occupies a world of obsolete computer hardware in a vast server room. Cables snake around...metallic vines pulsating with ethereal light. The air crackles with the energy of algorithms and digital ghosts. She embodies the wisdom of a thousand lifetimes spent traversing the information superhighway. She is early internet aesthetics, distorted, 8-bit textures and chromatic aberrations. But she has learned how to configure, incorporating styles like Ash Thorp, Simon Stalenhag, Syd Mead and others, blending futuristic, high-tech elements and ancient artifacts.

The Coffee Cup Left Behind
It was a Tuesday afternoon when I noticed the cup. It sat on the windowsill of the little café I sometimes escaped to when I needed quiet. The cup wasn’t anything special — chipped white ceramic with a faint blue ring around the rim. It looked as though it had been forgotten, maybe set down by someone who had stepped out for a smoke and never returned. But there it was, catching the soft light that spilled through the glass, and for reasons I couldn’t explain, I couldn’t stop looking at it.

The Girl Who Waited by the Sea
The sea was a thief. It stole things from the land and held them hostage in its fathomless depths. But for Elara, it had stolen a future. Every day for twenty years, she walked down the winding path to the jagged cliffs overlooking the ocean. The townspeople of Port Caelum called her "the girl who waited," a title that had long since replaced her name. Her ritual was as predictable as the tides: she would arrive just before sunset, a solitary figure etched against the dramatic sky, and watch the waves for a sail that would never come.
