THE ANGEL FROM GOD “Clean your room, Lily,” said Rahab, her mom. Lily nodded her head, with her eyes focused on her mobile, lying down with ease and irresponsibility over her works and studies. After an hour, she remembered to finish an assignment ,with an alarm. With a battle in her mind, for procrastinating both cleaning and assignment works, she got up from bed and kept her mobile near her watch. Suddenly she went into a class, seeing herself in that room. She was amazed to see it. She can see that there’s an English class going on, she had a jerk in her heart. Then after 10 minutes , two teams finished their speeches. It was her team’s turn.

A Journey Beyond Borders

-
Aboard a grand vessel that rocked gently with the tides, people from all walks of life—farmers, teachers, miners, artists, software developers, soldiers, merchants, healers, tailors, poets, construction workers, dancers, engineers, and countless others—embarked on a 30-day voyage across oceans. The ship echoed with the voices of different tongues, laughter, songs of home, and hopes for the future. What united them wasn’t their past, but a shared anticipation of change. But destiny took a sharp turn. After reaching the edge of their journey, the ship suffered irreparable mechanical failure. With urgency and political interest, a nearby nation—Aidni offered to sponsor a flight to take these people home or at least to safety. The country broadcasted its decision with pride. The state-run channels of Aidni framed it as a humanitarian act, a generous gesture in an election season where every vote mattered. However, behind closed doors, dissent brewed. “This is a strategic mistake,” grumbled...

THE BROKEN WING

-
Novi, from New Gate, was headed to Bell City to inaugurate the Independent Editorial Company (IEC), which started as a blog. The blog gained popularity after continuous political victories and stirred social issues such as caste, religious politics, financial biases, and unfair justice. It remained unnoticed for a year until a controversial tweet by her mother, Helen Novina, went viral. The tweet put the blog in the spotlight, making Helen the movement's catalyst, though she was tragically killed later. Upon arriving in Bell City, Novi took an auto ride with a familiar driver—their silent exchange speaking volumes. He was once an advocate who had resigned after failing to get justice for a woman and her daughter. And here she was, attending the conference with a bold face and her chin held high. At the IEC, Novi was greeted and proceeded to deliver her speech. “Never hide your passion or honesty. In your journey, your audience may be risking their lives to support you. Think about ...
