The Summer That Never Ended. Runner-Up in The Summer That Wasn’t Challenge.
Dear Reader, let me tell you a story that changed my fate— and with it, the life of my whole family. A story that I haven't told to anyone in nearly 60 years. A story I stopped telling because nobody believed me.

The First Cut Is The Deepest. Top Story - July 2025.
The first cut is the deepest, or so sang Cat Stevens. For me, this song always carried a different meaning. Every year, when the tree planting season begins and I cut the first hole with my shovel for my first tree, I hum this song.

#3
Fingers reach towards ceiling like thin beacons, palms outstretched, fake smile. This haiku is one of the few surviving ones I wrote when I first started to write poetry. (The others got lost on floppy disks and notebooks my mum threw out.) I used to give them numbers as titles, this was the third I've ever written. I don't really remember why.

What happened to Emilia Kállay?. Content Warning.
Being thirteen is a horrendous age for a girl. Or at least, that's what we thought when Emilia celebrated her birthday. We knew the day was coming up, based on the intel we collected about her. We prepared our plan a week ahead so I could sleep over at Marvin's. We spared all the money we made from mowing lawn for this long range listening device that was advertised on Teleshop.
