Holiday
The Present. Top Story - December 2024.
Jackie Chase is getting dressed up for the Christmas party at his sister’s house which starts in the next hour. “Boy I cannot wait to get my hand, or my fork and spoon into some of that banana pudding Rudy cooked” Jackie thought out loud. He then grabbed his phone, the charger to go with it and his car keys as he prepared to head out the door.

The Counter and the Coal
Not even otherworldly reindeer who fly are undying, and Dasher and Artist and Prancer and Lady, Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen were stories of Christmas mornings that had since a long time ago happen. Rudolph himself lived seventeen years: a good life expectancy for the typical hostage reindeer. In no way, shape or form a supernatural occurrence. Except if such a reindeer was among the fortunate not many to be housed in that frame of mind of a certain, southern toy shop. These reindeer would in general be more limited lived than most.

The Unexplored world
The obscure man lies dead in the outbuilding for three days, and on the fourth we cover him. We attempted to cover him previously yet needed to pause, the ground was so difficult.

The Eastern Seaboard of America
Cell walls locked shut with an audible, heavy clang. That’s when they walked through the bars of different prisons in Delaware and exited right out of them on New Year’s Eve. They consisted of private equity owners, hedge fund managers, and other captains of industry.

A Bloody Christmas
Once upon a cold Night. It was the night before Christmas, and all was still in the frosty neighborhood. Snow blanketed the ground, muffling every sound, and Tommy’s house glowed softly with multicolored lights. Inside, eleven-year-old Tommy sat perched on his bed, wrapped in his favorite blanket, peering out the window into the wintery darkness.

Lights
To walk out and stop for a while, seeing beautiful lights decoring trees and letting you drift like a dreamer into their magical world. To watch them rising and falling like shooting stars along their destined path, sometimes silver like a star or the moon or sometimes all the colours of a celestial rainbow. On an evening walk you can fall like a dreamer into the magical places they welcome you to. Your soul is soothed, sour spirits lifted and your heart given wings. Twinkling in the darkness, bringing brightness into our lives, letting your eyes weave beautiful shapes to bring magic into your life. Walk out and let the lights guide you toward greater happiness.

The Vanishing Neighbor
Ava had always found comfort in routines. Every morning, she sipped her coffee by the window, watching the world wake up in her quiet suburban neighborhood. Across the street lived Mr. Leland, an elderly man who, like clockwork, watered his plants at 7:00 a.m. sharp.

A Post-Christmas Wish The Present from the Future
It was the morning after Christmas, and the last of the wrapping paper had been discarded. The house was still, the glow of holiday lights dimming in the early morning light. Sophie sat on the couch, sipping her coffee, staring absentmindedly at the empty space beneath the Christmas tree. All the gifts had been opened, the holiday chaos was over, and the world seemed to return to its usual, quieter rhythm.

Christmas Revelation
In a small town nestled between hills, where the lights of Christmas twinkled in every window, lived a woman named Miriam. She had spent her life searching for something she couldn’t quite name. Her days were filled with the familiar rhythms of work, family, and quiet contemplation, but there was always a space within her that felt unfilled, as though something essential was missing.
