Challenge
Mayweather–Pacquiao II at the Sphere
BY LEAVIE SCOTT The rematch that hovered over boxing for nearly a decade is finally real. Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao are officially set to meet again on Saturday, September 19, 2026, in Las Vegas, with the bout streaming live around the world on Netflix and staged inside the trail‑blazing Sphere — the first sanctioned boxing match ever held at that venue. The announcement, long rumored and heavily speculated, positions two icons back at the center of the sport and places another stake in the ground for Netflix’s growing ambitions in live combat sports.

Fading Ink
The box was never meant to be opened. It had lived quietly on the highest shelf of my childhood closet, taped at the corners, labeled in my own looping handwriting: “Important — Do Not Throw Away.” I used to think anything I labeled important would remain that way forever.

Alone in the Jungle
The canopy is so dense that it suffocates all light. I am slashing through the dense boscage to get to the light, but I don’t know which way to go, or if I will ever get out of the forest. This jungle feels often filled with peril, and lonely. I came to this tangle of vines, underbrush, and unknown unfamiliar territory, with a dream, a goal, a determination. I planned and still plan to reach the end of the primeval and reach the inner sanctum of a place that is not easily traversed. I am a writer, and I want to write as a career.

The Last Memory: Chapter Six
Trenton locked the bathroom and turned around to wash her face. The cool water felt nice against her skin and after wiping her face with the soft green towel on the towel rack, she looked at herself in the mirror. Her skin was slightly worn with a few wrinkles in the creases of her forehead and surrounding her lips. She looked tired and her blue eyes seemed faded in color, like she had endured a lifetime of experiences already.

Between Truth and Code: Why Fiction Turned Out to Be Harder Than Life? ✍️🌑
As a debut author, I had a very specific, though – as it soon turned out – naive plan. My first book, "404: Reality Not Found", was a painful, raw, and deeply honest confession. 📖 I described my journey through the labyrinth of addiction, the loneliness of being an expat in England, and an unexpected rescue that came from the most unlikely direction: the world of a mobile strategy game. 🎮🛡️

Hold Music
Hold Music A story about the space between needing help and receiving it. The call connected at 8:04 in the morning. Margaret already knew what would happen — she had been doing this for eleven months — but she had learned to make herself believe, at the start of each call, that today would be different. It was the only way to make herself dial.

Show Me Your Prose!. Content Warning.
I’ve caught the unofficial challenge bug again, and I have a lot of devious ideas (like my Cthulu’s Challenge: poetry in pig latin, but I’ll probably save that one for next Christmas or some other time when the sweetness gets a bit too cloying for my tastes.

Winner Announcement: The Cat And The Machine
First and foremost, I apologize for the amount of time it took me to judge these entries. I could make a million excuses for why it took me so long, but as my father always said (slightly more crudely), "Nobody gives a darn about excuses." Therefore, I'll save you the trouble of explanation and simply move forward to what you do give a darn about, the entries into my latest contest, The Cat And The Machine.
