Psychological
Across the Miles
### Across the Miles It all started with a swipe. Sara was sitting on her couch in Boston, scrolling through profiles on a dating app out of sheer boredom. That’s when she stumbled upon Alex, a guy from San Francisco with a goofy grin and a profile filled with pictures of him hiking, cooking, and one awkwardly posed in front of a giant sculpture that looked suspiciously like a huge spoon. Intrigued, she swiped right.

The Block Mayor. Top Story - May 2024.
Like every warm day, Terrence is finishing this day on his L-shaped porch, sipping whisky from a dented flask. Cars pass by slowly, and he watches young women pushing babies in strollers; he hears the neighbors’ arguments and knows which have a regular income and those who are unemployed. Terrence is the self-appointed block mayor, laying judgment on his fellow folk.

love comes from paper airplanes
Sarah wasn't looking for love. Not really. She was content with her life - blasting music in her beat-up Honda Civic, weekend shifts at the local bookstore, and a cat named Mittens who judged her every move. But then came Kevin, the new delivery guy at the bookstore.

Quoth. Top Story - May 2024.
Unnoticed, the clock struck into the next day. Before my eyes, as midnight came and went, the words on the pages over which I poured blurred together. Meaningless under my over-tired gaze, they looped around themselves, slowly winding lines of text twisting themselves into knots as I watched, barely awake enough to do more than notice the change.

Absolutely, here’s a story inspired by "Lookism": --- Ethan Park had always been the target of jokes and bullying at Riverside High. Standing at 5'5" and weighing a bit more than he should, his self-esteem was perpetually low. His appearance made him a magnet for bullies, particularly for the school's jocks and popular kids who never missed an opportunity to mock him.

Hellraiser: Seconds of Suffering
Perry Bordeaux is staring across the street at the Le Carne antique store. He is nervous but jittery as he walks across the busy street to enter the store. When he walk in he looks around and finds not a customer or store associate in sight as he begins to look around. On his way to the front desk Perry makes a mental note of all the ancient looking pieces of art on the walls and stands that fill the store. When he gets to the front counter he suddenly hears a creek behind him and quickly looks back towards the entrance and finds nothing there but the possessions of the store. When Perry turns around he is startled by a man dressed in an all black garment staring at him with a facial expression that was half serious and half a smile.
