The storm had ended hours ago, but the world still smelled like electricity.Maya stood on her porch, barefoot, watching the puddles shimmer under the streetlights. The air was heavy, thick with the scent of wet asphalt and pine. Somewhere in the distance, a generator hummed, and the faint wail of a siren cut through the night.Her neighborhood looked like it had been rearranged by a careless hand — branches scattered, fences bent, shingles missing. The storm had come fast and left faster, but it had taken things with it: power, sleep, and the...
The morning started like any other in Maplewood — quiet, predictable, and slightly overcaffeinated. Lila Chen was halfway through her second cup of coffee when the sky blinked.Not metaphorically. Literally.One moment, it was a perfect blue canvas. The next, it flickered — like a faulty lightbulb — and for a split second, everything went dark. The birds stopped mid‑flight. The hum of traffic vanished. Even the wind seemed to hold its breath.Then, just as suddenly, the world resumed.Lila blinked back. “Okay,” she whispered, “either I’m halluci...
The tide was coming in, slow and deliberate, as if the ocean were breathing. Mara stood at the edge of the pier, her hands buried in the pockets of her windbreaker, watching the waves roll toward her boots.

The water was the only thing that made sense anymore. It moved, it changed, it never apologized for being too much.Behind her, the town of Clearwater was waking up — coffee ...
Priya Patel had a secret. Not the fun kind—like a celebrity crush or a burner Instagram account for stalking exes. No, Priya’s secret was that her left eyebrow refused to cooperate with the rest of her face.It wasn’t just unruly. It was defiant. It had a personality, a mission, and possibly a vendetta against her right eyebrow, which was sleek, symmetrical, and smug about it.Priya had tried everything—threading, waxing, microblading, meditation. Nothing worked. The left eyebrow always grew back like a rebellious teenager sneaking out after c...
Elena Vargas stood in the rain, letting it soak through her coat until the fabric clung to her like a second, colder skin. She wasn’t sure how long she’d been standing there—five minutes, maybe ten—but the rain had a way of stretching time, turning seconds into long, reflective corridors. The streetlamp above her flickered, casting her shadow in jittery fragments across the sidewalk.She wasn’t waiting for anyone. She wasn’t hiding from anyone. She was simply… listening.Rain had a sound when it wanted to tell you something. Her grandmother us...
