The Porcelain Gift
The Porcelain Gift Elena and Mariah had spent weeks turning the upstairs loft into a cozy retreat. The highlight of the space was a round window that poured sunlight in during the mornings. On one side sat Mariah’s art table; on the other, Elena’s laptop desk for her freelance work. A bed and tall bookshelves filled the center, with a cushioned chair tucked in the corner.

Route 19 Has No End
I was the only passenger left on the bus. The others had trickled off one by one—college kids with backpacks, an old man who tipped his hat to no one in particular, a woman in a puffy coat who muttered “wrong stop” before disappearing into the fog. By midnight, it was just me and the driver.

Send to Kill. Content Warning. AI-Generated.
The weeks following the chaos in Akkerstad felt like a waking nightmare. On a routine morning, a police officer sat in his van outside a colleague’s home, waiting for him to leave. The stillness was shattered by gunfire; the officer was struck down before he could react. His colleague emerged from the house, breathless and frantic, only to find his partner lifeless in the driver’s seat, the van stained with the brutality of the moment.
