Holiday

**The Cleansing Obsession**
**The Cleansing Obsession** Emma’s small apartment had always been neat. She prided herself on keeping things orderly—a habit born out of necessity more than preference. The chaos of the outside world, with its unpredictable noise and constant demands, felt manageable only when her home remained a sanctuary of cleanliness. But recently, something inside her had shifted. Her need for cleanliness morphed into something more than routine—it became an obsession.

Superhero or Supervillain?
In the real world, there are no true superheroes, only ordinary heroes and villains—individuals devoid of supernatural powers who navigate the moral complexities of life. Yet, mass culture has shaped a simpler narrative since the 1930s: the hero is always good, and the villain is always evil. However, reality isn’t that black and white, and neither are the characters that reflect our values in pop culture.

A town called Raymond
The address written on the note said 153 Larkin Street. A street in San Francisco, between the Civic Centre and the Pioneer Monument. Or so I thought. San Francisco. City of earthquakes and Alcatraz, Dirty Harry and Chinatown. Cable Cars, barking sea lions, and the heart-stopping tall towers of the Golden Gate Bridge. I just couldn’t wait. 18 years old and the whole city awaited. A six-month stay before I started Uni. Six months away from Mum and Dad and my horrid sisters and brothers.

The salty wind whipped against Elias’s weathered face as he stood on the deck of *The Wandering Star*, the ship that was now both his prison and his sanctuary. The horizon stretched endlessly around him, an unbroken line of blue that mirrored the emptiness inside him. He had been banished to the sea for a year, sentenced by his own crew to atone for the crimes that weighed heavily on his soul.

**The Stranger in the Rain**
It was one of those dreary afternoons in Islamabad, where the sky was a heavy shade of gray, and the air hung thick with humidity. I had spent the day running errands, and by the time I left the last store, the rain had begun to fall. It wasn’t the gentle drizzle that sometimes cooled the city; this was a torrential downpour that blurred the world into indistinct shapes.
