Obsidian Dragon's Shadow Flight...

Hoang Nguyen

In the nightforged realms of Umbravale, where shadow weavers pact obsidian dragons from ebony voids and eclipse riders mount flights through eternal dusk, weaver Sylas pacts a shadow flight with rider Eira, their bond shadowed by dragons that feast on light. The flight, forged in wing vows and eclipse-kissed scales, soars the realms—or plummets into devoured abysses. As they glide fractured citadels and dusk-veiled chasms, shadowed by dragon lords and light thieves, Sylas's weaving darkness fuses with Eira's riding swiftness, unveiling a nightforged legend of shadowed soar. When a fractured scale summons dusk devouring swarms, they must pact the flight to eclipse the night. In the shadow of obsidian wings, where every wing beats the void and every bond defies the dark, their epic pact becomes the flight that rekindles the realms' lost dawn.

For a simple janitor, Forrest Franklin is a pretty smart guy. He has just landed himself a new job…at a woman’s health clinic! This dirty-minded fella figures he’ll just keep his eyes open and maybe catch a glimpse of a cute young lady in a johnnie once in a while. That sure would keep him whistling while he works! Well, as sweet luck would have it, this hard-working pervert is about to get way more than he bargained for when one of the doctors, the less-than-ethical Marty Thompson, asks for Forrest’s help—right in the exam room! And all Forrest has to do in exchange for that naughty privilege is a bit of handyman work at the doc’s house.
Forrest is on cloud nine! He’ll be performing a complete physical for a woman about to leave for Korea to adopt a baby!
Well, that’s strange—Forrest’s sister-in-law Krissy is traveling to Korea in two days to adopt a baby and—oh, God—wait a minute! It is his sister-in-law who Dr. Thompson needs Forrest to examine! Talk about hitting the jackpot! Forrest has been lusting after his lucky brother’s wife for twelve years.

Krissy has been lonely, unadored, and untouched by this dullard for a long time now. Well, maybe her surprise “doctor” could help to alleviate some of her misery with a bit of supplemental care. Then, maybe being embarrassed to the limits of her sanity won’t be so bad after all!

To Build a Fire

Jack London

In the frozen wilderness of the Yukon, the line between survival and surrender is razor-thin. Jack London's To Build a Fire is more than a story; it is a stark, unforgettable confrontation with the raw power of nature and the frailty of human pride.
Here, the biting cold isn't just a setting—it's an unyielding adversary, testing the limits of determination and the cost of hubris. The tale whispers of isolation so profound that silence becomes deafening, and of choices so crucial that a single misstep can spell the difference between life and death.
Through prose as sharp as the frostbitten air, London paints a brutal, awe-inspiring portrait of man versus nature. Yet beneath the surface lies something deeper: an exploration of the delicate balance between human ingenuity and the primal forces of the wild. To Build a Fire dares readers to reflect on their own resilience—and their vulnerability—when faced with an indifferent universe.
This is a story not merely to read, but to experience: a chilling reminder that nature does not forgive, and survival is earned one breath at a time.
