FUZZY BEAR
*Fuzzy Bear: A Hug You Can Trust* In a cozy little forest surrounded by tall trees, colorful flowers, and chirping birds, lived a teddy bear named *Fuzzy*. Fuzzy wasn’t like other bears—he wasn’t wild or loud. In fact, he wasn’t even real. He was a soft, stuffed bear with button eyes, stitched paws, and golden brown fur that was always warm, no matter how cold the night was.

The Midnight Delivery
Tariq worked the night shift at the courier office, delivering parcels to sleepy neighborhoods while the city slumbered. The office was quiet, filled only with the hum of fluorescent lights and the occasional beeping of scanners. He enjoyed the solitude; the rhythm of driving through empty streets allowed him to think, plan, and forget the noise of his day-to-day life. That night, he had finished the usual deliveries when a supervisor handed him one last package. It was small, wrapped in plain brown paper with no return address, and simply labeled: “Do Not Open Until Midnight.” Tariq frowned. The office clock read 11:45 PM, and curiosity stirred in him. He had been trained not to tamper with parcels, but the label felt strangely personal, almost like a warning.

The City Above the Clouds
No one in Arham’s village believed the stories about the City Above the Clouds. They said it floated in the sky, hidden behind thick silver mist, and that only those who truly believed in impossible things could ever see it. Children whispered about it during play, and elders laughed gently, calling it nothing more than an old legend told to make nights interesting. But Arham never laughed. He believed.

THE SEA RAIDERS
Until the strange events at Sidmouth, the deep-sea creature known as Haploteuthis ferox was barely understood by science. Only fragments—tentacles found near the Azores and a decaying body discovered off Land’s End—hinted at its existence. Like most deep-sea cephalopods, it lived beyond the reach of nets and observation, known only through rare accidents. Zoologists could not explain how or why such creatures ever reached shallow waters.
