A Daughter's Return: A Story of Tragedy, Guilt, and Redemption
Introduction It was a summer evening like any other, when eight-year-old Sarah went missing. Her parents, John and Jane, were inside their home while she played in the front yard. But when they went to check on her, she was nowhere to be found. The small town where the family lived was turned upside down as search parties were organized and flyers were distributed with Sarah's picture on them. Despite their efforts, she was never found. Years passed and the case grew cold. But the truth about what happened that fateful night would come to light 15 years later, in a phone call that would change everything. This is a story of tragedy, guilt, and redemption, as a family's dark secret is unveiled, and a daughter's quest for the truth ultimately leads to healing and forgiveness.

Torch Passing
They warned her all the time. It wasn’t enough to be cautious, skeptical in the beam of peace strife to death with a tension tenuously amorphous lurking behind corporate meetings and political discourse. At least water is still affordable, technically. Her many Careers since joining the bureaucracy to maintain such a teetering balance of the remaining United States have been growing in intensity. With a hand-delivered envelope stoking paranoia that would call for a report and alert, it becomes a faded distilled truth from the Career of a nameless co-worker. So she tidies up her daily security blockades, passwords, new mother’s maiden, throw the sim card away, and get a new phone entirely. Its front read, ‘Taste their blood for sight,’ and inside, on a single index card, it read, ‘change my code for best results,’ written in lavender matching the tab as the rest was a Matte black, nearly soft like velvet. The notable smell left her re-feng shui-ing her loft until, after an hour or two, the aroma brought a pause, with a location that could not be named but held such a place in her mind, not distinctly from what, but the mood it exposed to her conscious that says this problem must not persist. Step by step, like a navigation system via heart-pounding memory revitalization, revealing streets, mile markers, and settings somehow updated with the current disaster aftermath, but how she saw this left her with regret brought from a flashback. Who’d ever consider reverse engineering paper, and despite its texture, that’s all it was, to explain an origin of a place long dead, long gone, yet historically unforgettable? It’s no wonder she waited a week to plan the trip.
