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?

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.

TURNING 70. Top Story - August 2024.
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. My Mother used to say, whenever I called from a payphone in the middle of nowhere, "You're going to end up dead in a ditch!"

Open Letter to My Children
Kids, I know I’m a weirdo. If you think about it, you do too. After all, it was me who hung the creepy doll head on the light pull in the living room when you were little. I’m the one who watched vampire movies and reruns of The Addams Family in between episodes of Facts of Life and Gilmore Girls.

What I've Learned from Living in Montréal...
It must be said that certain towns have a charm of their own, one that you do not appreciate until you leave and see what the wider world provides. I have lived in Montréal since the early 2000s (had visited in 1999 after attending a wedding), and I see no reason to return to my hometown (Hamilton), its loud neighbour (Toronto), or any other region I cannot afford or access without the benefit of an automobile.

I thought I had the job
I guess the answer is no. I stayed home all day Monday. My phone was always by my side all day, waiting for that text, that email, or that call. I was hoping it was a phone call: something as monumental as what I was oh-so-much expecting, surely, was worth a phone call. I was sure — darn sure — they had all my contact information. I wanted to phone. Sure, did. But I knew she would be very busy, flying to Philadelphia where, I heard through credible news services, she was making the big announcement. Philadelphia? You kiddin’ me? Talk about full circle.

Starving Artist Stops Abusing Food. Top Story - August 2024.
I often see those success stories of people with humble and/or difficult beginnings finally breaking into the entertainment industry as a writer or actor. He was living out of his car before he made it. Wow, my car looks like someone lives in it, but that's it. Her parents abandoned her and she bounced from foster home to foster home before achieving success. Wow, I have great and supportive parents. Bummer. He worked at a grocery store during the day and pulled overnight shifts as a janitor for years before he was discovered. Wow! I deal with shit at work, but not literal shit! I’ve looked at my own life. My parents didn’t abandon me, I hadn’t gone through financial hardships that cost me a home… I don’t have this incredible story of rags to riches. I’m just over here… living. So, am I going to be able to make it as a writer without the story? It’s as if I need the tough beginnings in order to make it, and I didn’t have those. However, I may finally have someone to thank. My job. My job may have given me just what I needed.

SISTERHOOD OF TREACHERY
There aren’t enough fingers on my hands to count the women I have befriended and been disappointed by. It’s not their fault. My expectations for close female friendships are too high for anyone to measure up.

Dear Supermarket Management,
I’m so glad I need to come into your store every day. If I didn’t, I would probably have to add at least 30 minutes to my regular exercise routine to make up for what I would lose in activity levels.

In the MEANtime. Content Warning.
Ya know, the more I think about it… I never had these problems as an adolescent. I mean, of course, I had my cycle, but the hormones, good God, the hormones… they were never like this. At the most, maybe I would crave something sweet or just want to be left alone. But now? Oh, now I get downright mean! And most times I don’t show it, but I feel my fucking blood boiling (and not the blood that’s coming out of me). But seriously, every little thing just pisses me off, and it’s like… well, shit, I guess I’m in the meantime. This normally happens right before the cycle begins.

Nandhan and priya
In the bustling corridors of Aether College, where the hum of electronic gadgets and the murmur of eager students filled the air, Nandhan and Priya's paths crossed. Both were students in the Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) department, their lives interwoven by fate and a shared passion for technology.
