  AS FAR AS CEMETERIES WENT, this one was remarkably ordinary. 
  It was just a small plot of land, marked with no more than ten tombstones. Vines and thick weeds overtook more than half of them, making it difficult to read the names on the stones. Even the gate into the cemetery was rusty, creaking in the wind as I made my way inside. 
  Ominous was the right word to describe the family plot of the Vann family, and it counted double when I stood in front of the newly-tilled earth of the latest tombstone. 
  “This is it right here,” said the caretaker, a kindly man of about fifty years or so. “I just put it in three days ago. Of course, there’s no body. Not unusual for divers as you might figure. But the Vanns have always had money and they’re respectful of their dead, so they put up a nice tombstone.” 
  I raised an eyebrow. “Respectful enough to let the weeds overtake half the cemetery?” 
  The caretaker managed to look embarrassed. “You might find this hard to believe, but they prefer it that way. I’ve offered many times to clear out the cemetery, but they like it to have a more . . . rustic look.” 
  “I don’t know if the word I would use is rustic,” said Mira, who was standing right next to me. The lovely brunette was wearing a gray dress that clung to her curves. Her loose hair danced with the soft breeze. “I think abandoned fits better.”

  In a land where yesterday’s laws lie buried beneath ash and silence, a man clings to what little remains: a house no longer a home, and a life stripped bare by loss. The war didn’t just take people—it erased purpose, leaving him to drift through the wreckage. 
  But when two enslaved strangers are forced into his care, the ground beneath him begins to shift. One speaks little but watches everything. The other burns with quiet rebellion. Neither came to be saved—but their presence plants questions where despair once settled deep. 
  As the fragile line between survival and surrender begins to blur, the man finds himself at a crossroads. In a place where mercy is rare and neutrality is dangerous, doing nothing may be the worst betrayal of all. 
  This is not about heroes. It’s about the moment before the match is struck.

  My Own True Ghost Story

  Rudyard Kipling

  In My Own True Ghost Story, Rudyard Kipling delivers a hauntingly humorous tale set in the shadowy outposts of British India—where the rational mind meets the inexplicable. When a weary English traveler spends the night in a decrepit dâk-bungalow, the howling wind, flickering candles, and creaking walls seem to come alive. Then comes the unmistakable sound of a billiard game—played in a room far too small to hold a table, and by players who no longer exist. 
  Kipling’s mastery of tone—balancing wit, irony, and eerie suspense—makes this one of his most memorable supernatural stories. A blend of colonial realism and gothic unease, My Own True Ghost Story reminds us that even the most skeptical traveler may find himself haunted when logic and legend collide. 
  Narrated with crisp wit and quiet tension by Michael Lyons, this performance captures both the humor and horror of Kipling’s classic ghost tale.

  The Call of the Wild

  In the untamed heart of the Yukon wilderness, where icy winds howl and survival is both a brutal contest and a triumph of spirit, one dog's journey will awaken the primal instincts that lie buried beneath domesticated civility. Jack London's The Call of the Wild is not merely a tale of survival—it is an anthem to the wild, a hymn to the power of instinct, and a meditation on freedom itself.
  Every crack of a whip, every crunch of snow under a sled, and every flash of gold in the frozen rivers echoes a deeper truth: we are creatures of nature, and nature always calls us home. Through vivid, gripping prose, London paints a world both beautiful and merciless, where loyalty is tested, courage is forged, and the wild is not only a place but a force.
  Step into this feral symphony, where man and beast confront not only the elements but the essence of their souls. It's a story that dares you to explore the untamed corners of your heart and reminds you that the wild is not just out there—it is within.
