Submitted to Contest #305

(Sensitive content: grief)It hit me in the middle of a bustling street in a new city—I was utterly and completely lost.It was a simple mistake—a wrong turn, a missed landmark—but the feeling went deeper than that. I'd lived in multiple cities, mastered metro systems in foreign languages, crossed continents. Getting lost didn't scare me.But this time, it stirred something else: a quiet ache.I missed the kind of place where I couldn't get lost. Where even with my eyes closed, I knew every crack in the pavement. A village tucked between green h...

Kindness at Gate 4

Loola K

Submitted to Contest #302

In these uncertain times—when people grow more divided, fear dominates the headlines, and kindness feels rare—it’s more important than ever to remember the stories that remind us there is still good in the world. Sometimes, it even comes from a stranger.This story happened to me after more than 20 hours of travel and two long-haul flights from Australia. Anyone who’s taken such a journey knows the relief that floods in when you're close to home. We had landed in Milan, just one short flight to Budapest left before I could collapse into my ow...

The Inheritance of Silence

Submitted to Contest #298

Act I — Inheritors of the WoundIn a distant spiral arm of the Lyrian galaxy spun a violet-hued world named SOLURETHIA, a planet of haunting beauty and unbearable inheritance.From the moment they drew breath, every living being on SOLURETHIA bore more than flesh and blood. They carried pain. Not merely their own, but the echoing grief, terror, sorrow, and agony of generations before them. It lived in their bones, burned behind their eyes, whispered in their sleep.The sky shimmered with a strange aurora—what the elders called The Veil—a byprod...

She moved with a slow, deliberate pace, the routine of her solitary life etched into every movemen...

Paths Within the Archway

Loola K

I just moved into the new city. The air buzzed with excitement and possibility, every street corner holding the promise of a new adventure. New city, new job, new opportunity —it all felt within reach, yet the prospect of change stirred a blend of exhilaration and fear within me. What if this is a mistake and I’ll be repeating the same pattern over and over again?Anyway, not everything is under my control, but I can control few things, so I decided to take up morning running. That summer morning at 6 am, when the city was quiet and the ...
