In the Light of Her Eyes. Content Warning.
It began with a look—a look that pierced the dull haze of a rain-soaked Thursday afternoon in November. I was seated at the window of an urban coffee shop, my nose fogged with steam from coffee and loneliness. Routine was life now. I worked, returned to an empty apartment, listened to the ticking clock at night, and asked myself when something would shatter this locked box I referred to as a heart.

The Dollhouse
The afternoon sun slanted through the lace curtains, throwing warm patterns across the wooden floor. Giggles floated like butterflies through the quiet house as the children huddled close, their faces glowing with excitement. In the corner of the room stood a grand dollhouse—three stories high, painted pastel pink and mint green, with white window shutters and tiny furniture carved with delicate precision.

The Girl Behind the Door
1. The Whispering House In the overlooked town of Elmbrook—where the wind murmured like a overlooked bedtime song and the crows roosted like prophets—stood an ancient, exhausted house. It had no title, but everybody called it The Wilt House. Children strolled quicker close it; older folks whispered supplications; and those who had once challenged to trespass carried their hush like a mystery curse.

I Saw Myself Watching Me
I Saw Myself Watching Me It started on a Monday. A completely average, uneventful Monday. I woke up, brushed my teeth, checked my phone, and sat down for breakfast. That’s when I saw it—the moment that cracked reality like a mirror struck at its center.

The Power of Truth: A Wise King’s Justice
In a kingdom ruled by power and pride, it was not a warrior or a noble who won the king’s heart — but a simple water carrier. His joy was in serving others. His reward?

A Promise in Ash
Before dawn, beneath a sky heavy with unshed stars, the Night Market held its breath. Lanterns swayed like flickering souls caught in a restless wind. Shadows leaned close, whispering secrets that time had forgotten. And in the heart of this ancient, bleeding place, the Mender moved—a figure woven from sorrow and quiet resolve, his cloak trailing faint echoes of prayers long spent.

The House at the End of Memory
I was eleven the first time I saw the house. It perched at the end of a road swallowed by trees, a path my grandmother told me never to follow. “Where the branches hush the world,” she’d whisper, “some silences carry echoes louder than screams.”

The Text That Arrived a Year After He Died
It had been exactly one year since we buried my brother, Ayaan. I still remember the chill in the air that day. It wasn’t just the weather — it was the kind of cold that wraps itself around your bones when something irreversible happens. He was 23. Full of life. Loved by everyone. Gone in an instant. A rainy night, a slippery road, and a speeding truck.
