The Rainbow Wall
Trigger Warning: Miscarriage and Infertility "So, it — it didn't take... again." The words choked out from his voice, raspy and dry. Sugared emotions rippled out from him in waves down into my lungs like candied ginger. The scent was sweet and spicy. The delight would have been difficult to suppress for those far below the totem pole in my service.

A BROKEN TAIL
A BROKEN TAIL Fast reactions to everything, is not good every time. Why ? 19/9/19 My father shake my leg and wake me up, they all were shouting about some strange activity upstairs. My grandma died 4 years ago and she was a religious lady but as student of science and culture, I never imagined her in a form of ghost. I asked my mom what happened and she put her left hand on my head and rubbed by back, as if she doesn’t want to lose me. For the first time I found my father scared, he used to be a man who lights our family in dark but safety of family is his biggest fear.

THE MYSTERY OF DISAPPEARING WATER PART-1. Content Warning.
The 'mystery' of disappearing water -1 In the past, Dhaka boasted a multitude of ponds that added to its beauty. However, today, only a handful of these ponds remain. Sadly, these few ponds are also facing a grim fate due to the authorities' negligence. It's alarming to see that despite the existence of the Playground, Open Space, Park and Natural Water Body Protection Act 2000, which strictly prohibits the filling up of any water body, including ponds, this unlawful activity continues unchecked. The Daily Star's investigation revealed that out of the 90 wards in undivided Dhaka City Corporation (DCC), only 63 ponds were found in the maps. This survey was conducted between 2003 and 2011, but it's worth mentioning that many ponds were already filled up before and even after the survey. Today, we present the sixteenth report in this series, focusing on the then DCC ward 57 and 56.

The Runcorn Headless Horseman
As a resident of Runcorn, Cheshire; I, Joseph Roy Wright, have heard many dark rumors about my remote home town. There are many myths and legends hiding within this unsuspecting town. I have already written about the haunted house in Bryon Street, yet there is another horror far greater, that you must know of. That is The Headless Horseman of Stockham Lane. Now the legend of this mysterious knight may sound familiar to you, but be-headings in medieval England, especially during battles, were incredibly common. Runcorn has it's history of knighthood, there is even an ancient castle that still stands to this very day. Some residents of Runcorn have seen strange sightings at this so called Halton Castle, past the time of midnight and especially around the season of Halloween. It is here where people have seen ghostly knights or other medieval warriors, along with un-explainable shouts and unseen battles, booming from behind the castle walls. Like these long forgotten wars are still going on. Echoes of medieval times still haunt this castle deeply, it is from this myth that many believe the headless horseman comes from. As the headless knight has been spotted atop the castle's roofs, staring down upon the living, before vanishing at dawn.
