The Skylight Room
Once upon a time, in the heart of a bustling city, stood an old boarding house on a quiet, winding street. Among its many rooms, nestled at the very top, was the smallest yet most enchanting of them all—the Skylight Room. The room was tiny, barely large enough to fit a single bed, a wooden chair, and a small desk. But what it lacked in size, it made up for in charm. A single skylight, framed by weathered wooden beams, opened up to the heavens, offering a breathtaking view of the stars at night and the sun's golden embrace at dawn.

The Rise of Zora Phoenix
Part One: The Ashes of Yesterday The bus stop bench was cold, the kind of cold that sank into Zora’s bones. She sat stiffly, her military jacket wrapped around her two-year-old daughter, Amara, shielding her from the night air.

Bloody Families
Every family has secrets. Yes, even yours. And even if you think you know all there is to know about your kin, I am willing to bet there is still at least one secret tucked away at the back of the closet. How am I so certain? I hear you ask.
