Hitman
He walked silently but swiftly along the rain-drenched street, an umbrella clutched in his hand. Dressed in a white shirt, tie, and jacket, he appeared just another hurried passerby. His left hand gripped the handle of a 9mm Glock pistol hidden in his pocket, freshly used to end a man's life in a car. Remorse and guilt were strangers to him; he was a hitman, a professional assassin, performing his duty. He had carried out at least two dozen successful hits, yet the police never came close to capturing him. The government had placed a hefty bounty on his head, dead or alive.

The Eternal Promise
In a silent village, where rolling hills gently stretched, lived Aryan, a young man, and Meera, a woman. They grew up together like the roots of ancient trees since childhood. Every day, they shared laughter, secrets, and dreams, as their friendship grew like a sapling nurtured by soft rain and warm sunlight. Although deep, there was no romance or confession; it was a connection based on unspoken understanding and shared aspirations that went beyond words.

The Entry. Content Warning.
I miss you today. Like always. Three months bled into three years just like you bled out on the pavement from your cataclysmic fall from grace. You hurtled yourself out of heaven and what, expected it not to hurt? Stupid, fucking...bitch. Selfless, huh? That's how I made sure the world remembered you but you left me. How selfless is that? You left me to fight the shadows. To pay the debt. You left me at my worst because this was never heaven but hell and you chose the coward's way out.
