  • It was tough to wedge the window open. It kept on resisting and Jane could see why. Maybe it was a sign. If it was, she ignored it. This had to happen. She persisted and it finally gave in. A gush of wind hit her and she could hear her heart pounding loud. Was she…

  • It gets scary sometimes, when you try to repeat something again and again. You say a word twenty times and it sounds like gibberish. You walk the same road often and you forget you’re walking. You read the same sentences, hear the same phrases, feel the same feeling, so many times, and you forget why…

ABLAZE Flame finds paper, and paper finds flame,They hold on to each other. When you know you’re playing a losing…
