Arrival
It seemed to Carmen, as her taxi charged off the highway, that she may have made a mistake. Her mouth had been dry since getting off the plane and just now she had noticed how white knuckles were from grasping onto the greasy door handle. Whether these symptoms were born from elation or fear of what lay on the other side of the taxi-door, Carmen was uncertain. The morning was early, and a usual greyness hung in the air, a greyness that always seems to carry the chance of rain. She peered into the rear view mirror, all hints of the airport and the highway and her old home, amongst gum trees and white-washed coastal suburbia, were long gone behind her.

I shook my head in disbelief as I knew her, and doctor Tabitha Grey was one of my favorite regulars.

A Little Adventure
Vanessa hugged the tree. It flailed its branches wildly and shrieked. The sound pained my ears, and I fell to the ground, protecting myself from the chaos. It recoiled so violently from her that I could see the roots beneath the surface, moving, and I was sure it was attempting to uproot itself.

The Rise and Fall of Pablo Escobar;
The story I've provided is mostly fiction and has a lot of creative elements added to it, it draws inspiration from the real-life story of Pablo Escobar, who was a notorious drug lord and leader of the Medellin cartel in Colombia. He had a vast criminal empire and was one of the wealthiest and most powerful criminals of all time. He was known for his use of violence, corruption, and deceit to maintain his power and control. He was eventually caught and killed in 1993. It's important to note that, even though this story took inspiration from real-life events and figures, the majority of the story is fictional and any similarities to real-life events are purely coincidental.
