She spent years being everything to everyone. A daughter, sister, friend, lover, peacekeeper, and a problem solver. But everything shifted when she became a mother. And to become a mother at a very young age was hard. All the expectations you grew will become heavier and it would all turn into disappointment. Be patient. Be grateful. Be strong. Be quiet. This is the story of a woman who finally stops disappearing and hiding from that quiet place many women carry but rarely named. For the mothers who have poured from an empty cup, who have loved deeply but lost sight of themselves along the way. This is all for you. "Let It Once Be Me" is a soft, emotional path through early motherhood along with a rollercoaster journey of burnout, love and quiet rebellion. Told through a gentle narrator's lens that follows one mother as she learns that choosing herself does not mean abandoning her child, it means saving them both. This is not about becoming a better mother but a remembering that you were once a woman first. This is not a story about perfection. It's about honesty. Rest. Bravery. And the courage to say: "This time, it's all about me."

Takes place after Freedom and Falcon : clash of two heroes. For years, Earth's heroes fought their battles separately-some defending the city, others safeguarding ancient forces, and many protecting the streets from corruption. But when Zyvarr the Forsaken, commander of Xarax conqueror of 300,000 worlds, arrived seeking Earth's greatest item aminox shard ,rare cosmic material-everything changed. His scanners revealed more than just Xenite. They detected Captain Freedom, a man whose power resonated like a god's. But Zyvarr wasn't looking for an enemy-he was looking for a ruler. He offered Freedom a choice: take a life and ascend as Earth's chosen leader. But Freedom refused, igniting a war that would force Earth's defenders to stand together for the first time. In 2015 things change One by one, heroes from different domains of power were drawn into the fight: - Mindhunter, sensing the deeper cosmic significance of Xenite, realized Earth was not an ordinary planet-it was part of something far greater. - Jaguar Queen and Lightbringer uncovered supernatural ties between the shards and lost pantheon relics, proving that its influence stretched into divine history. - Black Falcon, ever the strategist, discovered that human experiments on Xenite had already begun, revealing hidden corruption within Earth's own leaders. Dash Dynamo, gifted with Veloxian-enhanced speed, became the team's rapid-response force, disrupting Zyvarr's extraction units before the planet could be stripped. - Tidebreaker, Atlantis' defender, realized that aminox shards presence had deep roots in the oceans, possibly explaining Atlantean myths and lost civilizations affected by its power. His fight wasn't just for Earth-it was for the survival of his people as well. Though these heroes had never fought together, their mission was the same. And at the center of it all, Captain Freedom stood as the force that united them-not because of his strength, but because of his unwavering refusal to kneel.

Over a century after the failed colonization, the backing government finally agreed to launch another expedition. This time instead of trying to spread to a new world, the expedition's primary goal will be to discover what happened to the original craft and its crew. Will the new journey answer the numerous questions of the homeworld? Or will they share the same fate as their lost kindred...

Superficial /ˌso͞opərˈfiSHəl/ Adjective Adjective: Superficial; Plural Adjective: Superficials • existing or occurring at or on the surface. • situated or occurring on the skin or immediately beneath it. • appearing to be true or real only until examined more closely. • not thorough, deep, or complete; cursory. • not having or showing any depth of character or understanding. ---------------------------- Superficial. A word of many meanings. All of which describe the life of Teresa "Tessa" Ferox. Tessa was a nine year old orphan living in Central City. She'd been there for three years straight, and she was getting tired of getting walked past. Nobody ever wanted anything to do with her. Why? Because she was a broken child. And nobody wants something that's broken. One lonely day, the day of the Particle Accelerator Explosion, was the day that everything changed. Getting bitten by a cat as the wave hit her, the girl never expected what she would turn into. A werecat. A heartless, murderous werecat that Tessa had no control over. As if turning into a werecat wasn't bad enough, if the werecat bit someone, poison would enter the bloodstream of the victim and kill them in under a minute. Being one of the most lethal metahumans out there, Tessa's supernatural powers put her in the crosshairs of S.T.A.R. Labs. Barry Allen just thought that the Werecat was another generic criminal that needed to be stopped. When he finds out that she's just a kid, however, he is determined to help her, despite the protests of his friends. But what if, Tessa really is too far gone? What if, Barry can't catch up with the beast inside of her in time? What if, Tessa causes more destruction than she does good? ---------------------------- I do not own The Flash, or most of its characters. They belong to DC. However, I do own Teresa Ferox.

A growing collection of original flash fiction spanning the horror genre. Quick thrills delivered in 1500 words or less.

A man enters Temporal, a place where time can be revisited and even undone. Instead of changing events, he chooses to walk through his past searching for understanding rather than correction. As he confronts childhood, guilt, harm, and growth, Temporal reveals that answers are not always found by fixing mistakes, but by facing them honestly. The story asks whether peace is possible without altering what came before.

In a world where time often slips unnoticed, she waits for a simple, yet meaningful gesture-a few hours with the one she loves. As her birthday arrives, she longs for something more than just the passing moments, hoping that despite his busy life, today will be different. When a message finally comes, she is filled with anticipation, knowing their brief time together will be something to cherish. A spontaneous outing, a sweet treat, and laughter shared between them make her birthday unforgettable, not because of the gifts or the grand gestures, but because of the quiet moments and the effort to be fully present. Ultimately, it's not the hours that matter-the love that fills them.
