Aqualuna's Shroud
Silas had salt in his veins and the taste of failure on his tongue for thirty years. They called him mad, chasing whispers of a city of glass, swallowed whole by the ocean off the coast of what used to be Persia, or maybe Egypt, depending on who was drinking. He’d sunk every cent, every favor, into this obsession, a name whispered in ancient texts: Aqualuna. Not glass, not really. More like crystallized memory, polished by a thousand thousand years of currents. The old man, they’d say, finally lost his mind to the sea’s dark stories.

"1905". Content Warning.
A harsh, whipping wind, a roaring howl, snow and ice battered against what was left of their thinning ranks. Sparse in this bombardment shells from Japanese guns pounded at the earth around them, tearing away patches and pieces of snow, uncovering the rich frozen earth beneath. Shells from cannon and gun tore pieces from the earth, puncturing new wounds into an already savaged land. The guns ripped and sundered the battlefield, earth and men thrown in vast array, hurled onto the freshly lain snow.

Salt on the Tongue
Arthur’s fingers, stained with printer’s ink and the fine dust of decaying paper, traced the spidery script of a shipping manifest. The archive was a tomb, really, a vast mausoleum of forgotten lives, and he, Arthur, was its most dutiful undertaker. He sat hunched over a heavy oak table, the single bare bulb above him casting a stark, jaundiced light on the ledger before him. Outside, the city roared, a distant, unfeeling beast. Inside, it was the quiet thrum of his own pulse, the rustle of brittle pages, and the low, constant hum of the old building’s HVAC system struggling against time.

Yellow Warning: When the Wind Demands Our Attention. AI-Generated.
Nature is both a giver and a taker. Among its many moods, the wind can be deceptively subtle or alarmingly fierce. One moment it whispers through the trees, and the next, it can uproot them entirely. This is why meteorologists and authorities issue weather warnings, including the often-overlooked Yellow Warning for wind. While it may not sound as ominous as a red alert, a yellow warning is a signal that should not be ignored.

Mad Jack Churchill: The Sword-Wielding WWII Warrior Who Made War Look Like Fantasy
If you think the gun-dodging, blade-swinging chaos of comic book heroes belongs strictly to fiction, you probably haven’t met “Mad Jack” Churchill. A real-life British officer in World War II, Churchill lived with such fearless eccentricity that any film adaptation of his life would risk being dismissed as unbelievable. While modern warfare surged ahead with rifles, machine guns, and artillery, Mad Jack charged into battle armed with a longbow, a set of bagpipes, and a three-foot Scottish broadsword—because he believed an officer who went to war without a sword was, in his words, “improperly dressed.”
