The History Of AIRPLANES
When the Wright brothers first took to the skies in their rickety contraption, they probably had no idea they were setting the stage for one of the most transformative inventions in human history. From the earliest dreams of flight to the sleek, high-speed jets we board today, the history of airplanes is a fascinating tale of innovation, daring, and sometimes downright absurdity. So, fasten your seatbelts, ensure your tray tables are in their upright positions, and join us on a humorous journey through the skies.

The Whispering Forest
In a land far beyond the reaches of modern maps, there lay a forest untouched by time. The Whispering Forest, as it was known to the few who dared speak of it, was a place where the trees sang ancient songs and the air was thick with magic. It was a forest where dreams could come alive, and reality often bent to the will of those who believed in the impossible.

Remember Them All
Last Memorial Day, I posted a story called Don’t Thank a Veteran on Memorial Day. I originally posted it to Medium, then cross-posted here, because I wanted my non-Medium member readers to have a chance to check it out. On both Medium and Vocal, Don't Thank a Veteran enjoyed a modest readership. However, I also posted the story to Newsbreak, where it became my most-read story so far. In fact, it became rather controversial. I didn’t mean for it to become contentious. Maybe it was the title.

A Journey of Heritage: Rediscovering My Grandmother's Legacy It was a rainy afternoon when I first discovered the box. I was helping my parents clean out my late grandmother's attic, a task that had been postponed for months due to the overwhelming sense of loss we all felt. As I sifted through dusty books and old trinkets, my hand brushed against a worn, wooden box tucked away in a corner. Intrigued, I carefully lifted the lid, revealing a treasure trove of letters, photographs, and keepsakes that seemed to whisper stories from a time long past.

A Monument of American Greatness
Perched majestically amidst the rugged terrain of the Black Hills in South Dakota, Mount Rushmore stands as a testament to American ingenuity, perseverance, and the enduring spirit of democracy. Carved into the granite face of this iconic mountain are the stoic visages of four of the nation's most revered presidents: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln. Completed in 1941, this colossal sculpture is not merely a marvel of engineering and craftsmanship but also a profound symbol of national identity and unity.
