Zayden's Red Balloons
Zayden's Red Balloons My name is Zayden. I just turned three, and I love to climb. Dressers, couches, railings—anything I can get my feet on. Climbing makes me feel like Spider-Man. Maybe it's because up there, I feel noticed. Maybe it's the only time someone actually sees me.

The lion and the lamb
In the golden heart of a vast savannah, where the wind whispered secrets through tall grass and the sun watched with an ever-watchful eye, there lived a lion named Baran. His mane was dark as midnight, and his roar rolled over the plains like distant thunder. All animals feared him—not just because he was a hunter, but because he was alone, proud, and fierce.

Beneath the Rain Tree
There was an old rain tree in the center of Mira Valley, its massive branches stretching like arms over the open hill, casting a dappled shadow over the grass below. For decades, it stood quiet witness to wind, birds, time, and something else far rarer—a love story that waited.

The Robot Wife
Two Wives and No Peace Ahmed had been married twice. The first wife was a non-stop critic — from his socks to his soul, nothing escaped her sharp tongue. The second one barely spoke, and when she did, it was just to say, “Fine.” Both marriages ended in disaster. Either he was too complicated to understand, or perhaps, he never tried to understand anyone at all.
