  The Mirrors of Tuzun Thune is an early fantasy tale by Robert E. Howard featuring Kull, the brooding king of Valusia. Restless on his throne and questioning the nature of reality, Kull seeks wisdom from Tuzun Thune, a mysterious sage whose room of mirrors reflects more than mere images. What begins as philosophical curiosity slowly becomes a quiet descent — Kull finds himself drawn toward a reflection that seems to hold another world, another truth, or perhaps a trap. The story is short, reflective, and atmospheric, more concerned with mood and metaphysics than with swordplay. It shows Howard exploring ideas of identity, illusion, and the thin line between thought and madness. 
  The piece stands apart in Howard’s work for its stillness and tone. Instead of battlefields and roaring steel, we get silence, glass, and doubt. It’s a glimpse of the inward-facing side of a writer best known for outward violence and heroism. Through Kull’s struggle to trust his own senses, the tale anticipates Howard’s later fascination with unseen worlds beneath ordinary life. 
  Robert E. Howard (1906–1936) was an American pulp writer whose vivid imagination helped define modern fantasy. Raised in small-town Texas, he sold stories to Weird Tales, creating enduring figures such as Conan the Barbarian, Solomon Kane, and King Kull. His work blended myth, physicality, and a strong sense of fatalism, often set in invented pre-historic ages. Though he died young, Howard’s influence on fantasy fiction has been enormous — his characters moved beyond magazines into comics, films, and games, shaping how readers picture warriors, wizards, and lost kingdoms. Beneath the violence and adventure ran a steady current of poetry and melancholy, both of which are clearly felt in The Mirrors of Tuzun Thune.

  Never Trust A Thief!

  Never Trust A Thief! by Robert Silverberg - Kiley felt all-powerful with the alien guiding him in the looting of a world. Now the whole galaxy was his if he could remember to—Never Trust A Thief! 
  Kiley took one last, fond look at the glittering heap of jewels in the back of the spaceship, nodded happily to himself, and began to set up a blastoff orbit. Somewhere down on the field far below, he could see dot-like figures—spaceport attendants, all firmly convinced that this was an authorized flight. 
  He chuckled. This is the right way to pull a job, he thought contentedly. Hypnotize 'em silly and then walk in and take what you want. 
  His fingers skipped lightly over the control panel as he readied the ship for blastoff. For the first time in his life he felt truly happy. Two million stellors of rare gems in the back of the ship, and even after cutting Thaklaru in for his share, that still left a million. A million stellors! Lord, that sounded good! 
  Well, Kiley, are you going to spend all day dreaming? I'm waiting for you! 
  The rolling thunder of Thaklaru's voice in Kiley's mind jolted him back to reality. "I'm on my way," he said out loud, knowing that the alien was listening. "I've got the stuff, and I'll be there before you know it." 
  Good. I'm anxious to see those jewels. 
  "Don't worry about it, Thaklaru."

  The Shocking Truth about...

  Economic inequality is one of the most pressing issues of our time. While some individuals amass enormous wealth, millions struggle to afford basic necessities. The gap between the rich and the poor has widened significantly over the past few decades, raising concerns about fairness, economic stability, and the future of society. This growing divide affects nearly every aspect of life, from access to education and healthcare to political representation and social mobility. Understanding the causes and consequences of economic inequality is essential to addressing the challenges it presents.  
    
  Historically, economic disparities have existed in every civilization, but modern inequality has taken on new dimensions. The rise of globalization, rapid technological advancements, and financial deregulation have contributed to an economic system that disproportionately benefits the wealthy. While free markets have driven innovation and lifted millions out of poverty, they have also concentrated wealth and power in the hands of a few. In many countries, the middle class—once the backbone of economic stability—has eroded, leaving a stark contrast between the privileged elite and those struggling to keep up.  
  Government policies play a crucial role in shaping economic inequality. Tax structures, labor laws, and social welfare programs determine how wealth is distributed within a society. In some cases, policies favor large corporations and high-income individuals, exacerbating disparities. Meanwhile, stagnant wages, the decline of labor unions, and rising costs of living make it increasingly difficult for working-class families to get ahead. The debate over economic inequality is not just about wealth but about opportunity. When financial barriers prevent people from accessing quality education, healthcare, and stable employment, economic mobility declines, reinforcing cycles of poverty.
