In the waning hours of the night, Seymour, a renowned chef from North Carolina, was perfecting his latest culinary masterpiece — a frog chili with habanero that promised to revolutionize the culinary world from his modest kitchen in “Le Cook of Seymour.” As he mulled over his future away from the strip mall to the…
Raul’s nights at the public observatory in Washington, D.C., were solitary ventures, draped in the silence of a city asleep. February’s chill seeped through the walls, a constant companion as he tended to the machinery that allowed others to gaze at the stars. The observatory, a sanctuary of solitude, was his escape, where the moon’s…

I sat across from two agents, their expressions unreadable, their badges shining ominously under the light. Agent Harris, with a voice as cold as the steel table between us, broke the silence. “Let’s start from the beginning, shall we? Tell…
In the dense, whispering woods, where the light barely touched the forest floor, Ethan, a seasoned hunter with a heart hardened by solitude, stumbled upon a sight that unnerved him. A little girl, no more than eight, with eyes wide like saucers and skin pale as moonlight, sat curled against a tree, her gaze distant…

The sprawling lawns and the sunny days were all just background scenery to the monotonous symphony of life. My school was an embodiment of this monotony, with its pale green…
Having spent my entire life in La Plata, Maryland, I thought I’d seen it all. The biggest challenge I assumed I’d face was surviving the infamous drama of high school. Boy, was I off the mark? The genuine terror started not on the football field or at prom, but somewhere far more unexpected – in…
Ever since I was a kid, my best friend Gary and I had been inseparable. We grew up in La Plata, Maryland, a small town in Southern Maryland with lots of history, and we always found ways to entertain ourselves. We were both 16 now, and our latest adventure had brought us to a wreckage…
