“The Mirror at Hazel's Street” by Zara Ali

Hi everyone! This story has a bunch of vivid descriptions and eloquence. I hope you enjoy it! The European storefront smelt of concrete and lemony tea. A shelf of designed teacups, tea kettles, and miniature sculptures lay aligned perfectly in the display windows. The same perennial mirror with floral designs came back out at the center of the display case. It was a decor, not for sale, but with the new vintage aesthetic of my room; it could work. The mirror was extolled with a border of fake flower vines around the display window. Helen o...

“Two Knocks on each Door” by Zara Ali

Moral Of Story: “You never know who can be an amazing friend.” An old woman, hair frayed like a rope, skin wrinkled like a fish’s scales had pondered out to a quiet and peaceful suburban neighborhood, her intentions not noted by any of the residents of the neighborhood. She strolled the sidewalk with only a pastel vintage tote bag and a cheerful young smile. She had reflected the energy of a child although at such an age. She wore a long brown cardigan, atop a hand-knitted lavender sweater, she seemed mildly overdressed for the Florida sprin...
