INNOCENT SOLDIER
In the days of yore, when news traveled no faster than the village’s slowest goat, a band of insurgents would occasionally roll through town like an ill wind. These were not the kind of visitors who came bearing gifts or sweet stories from the city; no, these were the types who arrived with stern faces, dusty boots, and an agenda that included one thing: forcefully recruiting the village’s young lads into their ranks to "serve the nation." Of course, the nature of this service was as vague as the exact location of their headquarters, but who were the villagers to question such official-sounding business?

Do My Bidding, Mosquito Army!
I LOVE My Forest. The emerald sky where I live is pierced with shades of blue beyond. Birds sing their lewd songs to each other during the spring and scream at their children during the summer creating a cacophony of sounds that we humans describe as beautiful. Fireflies light up our summer and autumn nights with flickering and fluttering eloquence, and an opossum has been adopted as a nocturnal snuggle/dinner buddy by the colony of rescue cats that I hold responsibility over and has even on occasion let me run my fingers gently over its back side (before saying: "Okay. That's enough, friend" by politely walking away). And the cicadas sing us to sleep every night. It's peaceful, it's quiet, no noisy human interference, and you can see the stars for miles. And come morning, (especially in the cooler months when the morning fog lifts off the ground in opalescent swirls of cloud low to the ground) we are greeted by little families of deer.

A Village Hero's Day at the Hospital
**A Village Hero’s Day at the Hospital: A Comedy of Errors** In a small, sleepy village where the loudest sound was usually a rooster with a serious attitude problem, lived a man named Bhola. Now, Bhola wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed, but he had a heart as big as his belly. One fine morning, Bhola woke up with a peculiar problem—his lungs were staging a protest, and every breath felt like he was trying to suck air through a straw stuck in a mango.

Funny
So his is how Story begins. On a scorching hot day, where the sun seemed to be in competition with itself to see just how much it could roast us alive, my friend and I made the questionable decision to go fishing. You know, that relaxing activity where you sit by the water, cast a line, and wait patiently for a fish to bite—only, we decided to do it the hard way. Instead of heading to the nearby lake, we thought it would be a brilliant idea to embark on a long, exhausting journey up hills and down valleys to reach the most remote fishing spot imaginable. Because, clearly, that’s where the *real* fish are, right?

Should I wake up breathing on August 24th, people who have known me since my youth will say that I beat the odds. No one-- and I do mean no one-- believed I would survive my 20s.
