The Shrieking Daffodils
The sound of screaming fans rattled Madison Square Garden as The Shrieking Daffodils retreated backstage. A smoky haze filled the room and various bottles of alcohol littered the tables. Daphne Ovid, the band’s lead singer, wasted no time popping open a bottle with her guitar pick and tossing it back. Her vocal chords instantly relaxed as the icy beer funneled down her throat.

Ahmed’s Journey Through the Time Part3
Between Two Worlds Ahmad knew that his journey was far from over; in fact, it had just begun. Countless worlds awaited him, and infinite secrets needed to be discovered. He felt a surge of excitement and anticipation about what the future would bring. After Ahmad returned home, he couldn’t forget the strange experience he had gone through. He felt as if his soul had merged with worlds he had never known before, as though he had become part of a story much larger than the life he had been accustomed to. He began trying to understand what had happened to him and how he could use his newfound abilities to navigate between these other worlds. One evening, Ahmad sat at his desk, holding a pen and paper, trying to write down all the details he remembered about those beings. He realized that these beings didn’t need food or drink like humans did; instead, they relied on boundless cosmic energy. This concept deeply intrigued him. He wondered how living creatures could survive without consuming food or drink. Ahmad began searching for answers in his old books on physics and chemistry. He realized that these beings had transcended conventional concepts of life. They fed on the natural energy within the atoms and molecules of the vast universe. They could control the arrangement and structure of these particles to harness the energy needed for their survival. As Ahmad read more, he discovered that this wasn’t as impossible as he had once thought. Studies showed that atoms and molecules could reshape themselves under the influence of certain energy fields. After days of research, Ahmad decided to test his theories. He sat in a dark room, closed his eyes, and focused his thoughts on the other world. He recalled the shape of the spaceship and imagined himself inside it, moving between dimensions. He started to feel the energy infiltrating his body. Suddenly, he found himself once again among those beings. When they sensed his presence, one of them said, “You’ve returned quickly. It seems you’re beginning to understand how our laws work.” Ahmad smiled and replied, “I want to learn more about your way of controlling atoms and energy. How can we humans reach this level of knowledge?” One of them, who seemed to be their leader, responded, “It wasn’t easy, but it’s not impossible. In your world, science is constrained by traditional concepts. But we broke those boundaries long ago. We started to understand that everything in the universe is made up of atoms, and these atoms behave according to specific laws that we can change and direct with our will.” The conversation continued between Ahmad and the beings, and he learned that they had advanced technology to analyze molecules and rearrange them. This allowed them to change their forms and even their biological nature. They could adapt their shapes to suit different environmental conditions or even travel between planets without the need for massive spacecraft. The Great Discovery Ahmad began thinking about how to apply this knowledge to the human world. He realized that what he needed was a way to understand how to change the frequencies of atoms to communicate with them, without needing a specific language, but rather using mental energy. He knew this would require intensive study in quantum mechanics and particle physics, and he felt prepared for that. Ahmad returned to his world, carrying vast new knowledge and high hopes. He began writing down his discoveries and testing some of the theories in his small lab, using simple equipment like large magnets and small lasers. One day, while conducting an experiment involving directing a laser beam at a specific material, Ahmad noticed that the particles began to move in an unusual way, as if they were dancing under the influence of an invisible wave. He continued the experiment, observing that the frequencies changed when he altered the angle of the laser beam or its intensity. At that moment, he realized these were the same frequencies the beings used to control atoms. Ahmad decided to continue his experiments, and after some time, he successfully developed a small device. This device was capable of emitting waves with specific frequencies that affected the surrounding atoms. The device was able to change the shape of small objects like paper and plants in a way that seemed magical. Ahmad felt it was time to reveal his discovery to the world. But he knew that this wouldn’t be easy. He first had to convince other scientists that what he had discovered wasn’t a fantasy, but a scientific reality that could be tested and replicated. However, Ahmad wasn’t ready to stop there. He knew the road ahead was long, filled with possibilities he had never imagined before. And so began Ahmad’s true journey into the world of science and fiction, where science fiction meets reality, and the impossible becomes possible through persistence and a passion for knowledge. Ahmad didn’t know where this journey would take him, but he was confident that it would be full of surprises and discoveries.

Old Buildings, Old Books
I shouldn't be here. Everything in me was screaming to go back, so why do I keep going? There's a reason the Manor is desserted. Good reason why no one comes here. And yet, see here, another step, sending up another little cloud of dust around my feet.

Math Against Me: The Weight of a Test
I hold in my hands the sheet printed by the teacher, which had passed through my hands temporarily about two weeks ago. Filled with blue and red pen marks, so many red lines, it corresponds to my Math test, which I had been impatiently waiting for. I remember my studying: I would wake up early to study, the tutoring sessions offered me new exercises to solve, and even though I was not motivated, I did them seriously.

Remind me if I forgot
Jack had always been forgetful. As a child, he misplaced his toys; as a student, he left homework unfinished simply because he forgot about it; and as an adult, he constantly lost his keys, wallet, and phone. His life was a mess of misplaced objects and last-minute scrambles. No matter how many planners or phone reminders he set, nothing seemed to work.
