The Absence of Help
The Absence of Help By:Emily Ryherd Beginning My red watery eyes stare at the small flatscreen TV that’s secured onto the white wall, as a random episode of I-Carly begins playing. My body shivers slightly as goosebumps begin to form on my arms, and I find myself annoyed at how cold hospitals always seem to be. Out of the corner of my eye, I can vaguely make out the woman who's been assigned to watch me, who is sitting in an uncomfortable plastic chair and staring silently at the TV but every now and then I can see her take a brief look at me. The sudden eruption of a greatly distressed baby crying makes its way into my room, and I’ve been hearing this kind of thing off and on ever since I got here so at this point, I’m able to easily ignore it. My eyes blankly watch the show on the TV as the episode gets closer to its end, but on the inside, everything seems to be like it is falling apart. Hours ago, a social worker explained to me that there are no beds available in any of the surrounding psychiatric hospitals, so I find myself waiting in hopes that a bed becomes available soon. This is not the kind of thing I would have expected to hear, because you would think after trying to kill yourself, you would be able to get the help and treatment you need immediately. Instead, I find myself trapped in this depressing reality where I sit stuck with a stranger in a small ER room for hours on end, watching countless episodes of I-Carly while rounds of tears roll down my face, and feeling more alone than I have ever felt in a long time.

Lost for Words: How Language Decay is Making Us Dumber
The Disappearance of Thought Language is vanishing. Grammar erodes, words disappear, and with them, our ability to think critically. As tenses fade—subjunctive, past perfect, conditional—so does our perception of time. The rise of casual speech, the neglect of punctuation, and the rejection of complexity aren’t harmless trends. They signal a deeper crisis: the decline of thought itself.

The Voices of Comfort Women: Stories from the Past. Content Warning.
Even though the first women were coerced into sexual slavery for Imperial Japan almost a century ago, the specifics of their enslavement are still painful and contentious in Japan and the former occupied nations. There are few records of women's subjugation; an estimated 90% of "comfort women" did not survive the war, and there are very few survivors. Although military brothels had been a part of the Japanese military since 1932, they became much more widespread following the Rape of Nanking, one of the most notorious events in imperial Japan's campaign to conquer the Republic of China and a large portion of Asia.

Rediscovering Jesus: Beyond the Western Image
The image or depiction of Jesus Christ, the son of Mary, has always been a subject of curiosity. Where did this image come from? What is its origin, or rather, who is the person in this image? If he was a man who was born, raised, and lived here in the Middle East, why is he imagined by people all over the world as a white man with Western features? We always see him depicted in this way. Is this truly the accurate representation of Jesus, or does this image conceal a deception and a grand narrative?

When Jokes Cut Deeper Than Expected
We’ve all been there. Sitting in a room, sharing a moment with others, when suddenly—someone makes a comment. A joke, a little jab, something meant to be lighthearted. The room laughs, but inside, something tightens. The air shifts. And before we know it, we’re retreating inward, arms crossed, heart racing, mind replaying that one sentence over and over.

The Dance
The fog hung heavy, a gray shroud clinging to the small village nestled between barren hills. Houses, patched and faded, slumped against each other like weary shoulders, their windows dark eyes staring into the endless gloom. The air itself seemed to sigh with a deep, unending sadness. This village was a place where silence reigned, a heavy, enforced silence.
