Расслабленная история о том, как я возвращалась домой от родителей (быстрая запись в транспорте, а затем немного дома, так сказать, разогрев после долго застоя в письме)

«Esto no es un simulacro. Que Dios los ampare a todos.» El artículo 49 se ha activado. Amenaza biológica en nivel máximo. Ryjad es soldado. Su misión: contener lo que sea que haya escapado de la capa nueve. La compañía Alfa ya ha caído. La compañía Bravo está aguantando. Ahora le toca a la Charlie. Diez minutos. Eso es todo lo que pide el sargento. Diez minutos antes de que las compuertas cedan. Pero el ascensor se desploma. Los cuerpos se amontonan. La oscuridad respira. Y el tiempo se agota. Esto no es un simulacro.

200 years ago, the world as we know it was destroyed by a meteor shower. Humanity, as resilient as it was, managed to survive by taking to the stars in massive space stations known as megacities. And due to the radiation from that meteor shower, most of humanity gained superpowers that would come to be known as factors. Leading the charge, was a superhero, right out of a comic book, the Olympian, the greatest man of all time. For 100 years he led humanity to a level we had never reached before. Then, one day, he just up and vanished. Now 100 years later, it's about time. For someone else to take up that mantle

In Cold Creek, being human is dangerous. Being the wrong kind of human is fatal. *** Seventeen-year-old Kelsey expects nothing worse than awkward family dinners when she moves into her father's isolated hometown. Instead, she walks into a community ruled by old bloodlines, unwritten laws, and predators who don't need to bare their teeth to make a threat clear. No one explains the rules. No one tells her why the forest watches her. And no one tells her why the town reacts to her scent like it's a warning. Her father is unraveling. Her grandparents are hiding something monstrous. And the boy she was warned never to go near is the only one who understands the danger she's stepped into. The closer Kelsey gets to the truth, the more she realizes the threat isn't just in the woods; its in the people drawn to her, driven by instincts that can override reason in a heartbeat.

Elias, the curator of The Acoustic Archive, uses his technique of "Sympathetic Listening" to seek the final, majestic chime of the Great Bell from the long-destroyed St. Jude's cathedral. By analyzing a rusted clock gear, he instead recovers earlier sounds of the clock's creation and maintenance, culminating not in the expected grand toll, but in the terrified, short-lived shriek of a small, internal warning bell that was cut off by the fire. Elias realizes he has saved the honest, forgotten truth of the machine's end, preserving its tragic farewell.

He never chased approval. He learned to live without it. She grew up learning how to earn it from mentors, systems, rooms that rewarded performance over truth. When Samarth, a quietly perceptive architect and a guest faculty at Vishwakarma Design institute, meets Diya, a sharp, driven student, their connection begins in discipline and design. But slowly, between drawings, silences, and shared spaces, something shifts. Working together begins to surface old rivalries, buried wounds, and questions neither of them knew how to ask. In a world that teaches control, ambition, and restraint, they begin to learn something far more dangerous how to be seen, without performing.

I dreamed I was at work without my visage. My hands flew to my face when I realized and I screamed in embarrassment. My coworkers all pointed and laughed. Jane reluctantly slipped me her spare mask. It didn't fit right and made me uncomfortable. Waking up in panic, I was relieved to see it on my nightstand where I left it. The world of fashion trends is often a puzzling one. Take, for example, the idea of a mask that blurs your features, just enough to change how people perceive you. Visage aren't new by any means, but they dictate who is accepted, and who is shunned. They divide social classes and shroud monsters in shadow. This series seeks to separate who we are, and who we pretend to be.

You get used to the thunder. It's when it stops that you should be worried. Sixteen-year-old Mason Lake learned this the night masked soldiers dragged his sister, screaming, into the night. Their offer was simple: leave the walls, scavenge valuables from the Blitz, and fill her ransom fund to get her back. So he learns to strip bodies before the storms take them. To ignore the names carved into wedding rings. To live with the weight of trading a piece of himself for one more day of hope. Then a Blitzer girl with lightning in her eyes and a knife at his throat decides not to kill him. She should be his enemy. She shouldn't feel bad for him. And yet she becomes the only thing he has left to lose. When the final price for his sister is revealed, Mason must decide what's worth more: the girl he swore he'd save... or the one person who kept him human. A heart-pounding dystopian where surviving is simple enough. Staying human is the hard part
