The Book That Eats Time
The Book That Eats Time by[Javid khan] Julian Mercer had seen a lot of strange books in his life—misprinted grimoires, fake occult pamphlets, leather-bound obscenities from the 1600s. Being a rare book dealer meant constantly dancing the line between scholar and hoarder. But he’d never held a book that felt alive before.

The Silent Agony: A Portrait of Resistance and Loss
In a world overrun by noise—of war, of politics, of relentless chatter on digital screens—sometimes, a photograph tells the story louder than a thousand voices. The image before us is one such visual parable. It speaks in muted tones, in earth-stained fabric and blood-drenched wool. The woman depicted does not scream, does not reach out, does not protest. Yet everything about her—the closed eyes, the tension in her brow, the soft lines of her face frozen in fatigue or final rest—screams volumes.

Names of Honor and the Tragedy in Balochistan
Balochistan’s Names of Honor and a Recent Tragedy Balochistan, a region rich in tradition and steeped in tribal values, has long upheld a cultural system that places honor—ghairat—at the core of personal and social identity.

However, the weight of this honor can, and often does, lead to tragic consequences.

Whispers in Room 313
The House With No Past It started with a Craigslist ad. Three-bedroom Victorian, dirt cheap, barely an hour outside Portland. No neighbors for a mile. The photos were grainy, but I saw the charm under the grime. I needed quiet. I needed space. I needed to disappear for a while.

Beneath the Black Lake
They say the lake was once a village. Long before the waters rose, before the dam was built and the river redirected, a small hamlet lay nestled in a valley of pines. It had cobbled paths, stone cottages, a crooked church tower, and a single clock that struck every hour, even when the village went quiet.

The Man in the Window
It was a chilly November evening in the small town of Alder Creek. The streets were quiet, cloaked under a fog so thick it felt like breathing through cotton. Inside a modest two-story house, 28-year-old Daniel Mercer sat by the fireplace, sipping black coffee and trying to calm his nerves.
