Suicide Prevention Workshop
We hope to have a small booklet full of prevention material. It is about prevention after all. I have attended many workshops in my lifetime and have not read much after the workshops that were given as handouts. Now I have to go through many of those handouts and recycle them.

Chapter XVII: The Sovereign of Shadows
The wind shrieked, calling me through the hollow arches of my empire, and shared the whispers of those from which I had long departed. They did not capitulate, they did not bend the knee—those stubborn flames in their unyielding commitment who were steadfast in grisly devotion to my cause even while I drifted into infinite nothingness. I stand now before the stripped down bones of my empire, their magnificence reduced to chambers of resonating echo and thrones of dust. *Why have I returned?* The question coils in my heart like the serpent of eternal regret. Perhaps it is the burden of promises I once scarred into the flesh of memory now bleeding through the cracks of time. Or perhaps it is the truth that solitude, even from this frayed kingdom, is a reprieve from the honeyed mumble of humankind. Humanity—how shameless a pantomime! They murmur constantly of virtues they loathe, and in the very next breath, dive into the sins of their own disdain. Their laugh, a knife—that roasts, and their kindness, a mask stuck to rotten flesh. I have tasted their "compassion," a goblet of vinegar, and spit it back into oblivion. They are the architects of their own suffering, bringing offerings of opinions about the innocence of gutting like lambs to a slaughterhouse. Weakness masquerades as strength in their world—a monstrous breeding from the bones of gentle chitterers.

Digital Phantoms
The first time Liam saw the glitch, he brushed it off as a software bug. It was a flicker on his screen—a brief, unnatural distortion in the corner of his webcam feed. He had been live-streaming his late-night gaming session, and for a split second, a shadowy figure appeared behind him, standing just beyond the dim glow of his monitor.

Amid the hustle, she had learned that inner peace was not something found in the silence of isolation but rather crafted in moments of mindful creativity. Her journey toward tranquility began on an ordinary Tuesday that would forever change the canvas of her life.

Change is a Part of Life
In the Sonapur village, the old mango tree was casting a shadow as the sun set. The slender dirt road where Rohan used to play was bathed in golden light. Now, years later, he was returning after a long time, a stranger to the place he once called home.

"CELEBRATE FREEDOM WITH QUEEN BEE". Content Warning.
I created this short video story to celebrate freedom. The dark clouds will go away. We will celebrate with dancing, singing, flowers, love, peace, and understanding. Hate and darkness have been buried in the ground. We dance in the light and celebrate truth and the light.
