The Favorite Teacher

The Favorite Teacher A story about a favorite teacher, a forgotten classroom crush, and an unexpected online friendship that sparks memories of first love and fate. The first impression of laughter, jokes, and deep connections with her students was undeniable — Mrs. Shapiro was a beautiful teacher who beautifully taught each lesson and encouraged every student. She believed in their success and often worked one-on-one to help them thrive. Among her students was a quiet girl named Diana, who struggled with even the simplest quizzes while her classmates passed with ease. Despite her challenges, Diana loved coming to class and always completed her homework. She sat alone at the last desk in the row. A boy sat two desks ahead of her — the boy Mrs. Shapiro often called “the smartest kid.” One day, the teacher asked him to pass out the weekly quizzes. As he handed Diana her quiz, he paused, standing still for a moment. Then, he slipped her a small crumpled note, written in pencil: “I like yo...

Motherhood




Motherhood

“Motherhood” is a heartwarming story that spans generations—from a high school romance and unexpected pregnancy to adoption and legacy. It’s a gentle reminder that love, in its many forms, defines family more than blood ever could.



It was summer when Alicia went out for a swim. She took three or four laps across the pool, gliding through the water like it was second nature. When she finally paused to rest at the edge, someone suddenly shoved her from behind. She splashed back into the pool, startled and gasping.


Luckily, she knew how to swim. But that didn’t stop the anger bubbling up as she turned around to see who had pushed her. A group of teenagers were playing truth or dare nearby, laughing wildly. To her shock, it was Austin—her classmate—who had dared to push her in.


What started as an annoying prank eventually turned into friendship. Alicia and Austin went to the same high school, and their bond grew stronger each day. But drama wasn’t far behind. Emma, a friend of Alicia’s, had long harbored a crush on Austin. When she found out Austin liked Alicia instead, Emma was devastated.


Things got worse when a hurtful note written by Austin was accidentally passed around: “Emma is short and ugly—who would go out with her?” The words broke Emma. Determined to change, she started straightening her hair, wearing makeup, and reinventing herself. Suddenly, everyone began to notice her. Boys asked for her number, and she started to feel beautiful—finally.


But even with all the attention, Emma couldn’t break the bond between Alicia and Austin. The two remained the most admired couple in the yearbook.


A few years later, Alicia, now a senior, discovered she was pregnant—with a baby boy. Austin gave her a ring, and she was overjoyed. After graduation, they moved to different states but stayed together, embracing their journey into parenthood.


They both became teachers—Alicia at a local school, Austin at a college. Their son, Tim, grew up to be tall like his father and brilliant like his mother. He was an honor roll student throughout school.


Tim fell in love with a kind-hearted girl named Michelle. Their relationship blossomed, and eventually, they proposed to each other and moved into a new home.


Tim had always dreamed of having a daughter of his own. But Michelle couldn’t have children and deeply wished to adopt. Torn between his dream and his love, Tim faced a choice. He didn’t want to lose Michelle, the woman who made him feel whole. With a big heart and quiet strength, he let go of his own expectations and embraced hers. His decision brought Michelle even more happiness—and in time, their adopted daughter, Lauren, became the light of both their lives.


Lauren, with her bright eyes and joyful spirit, brought new hope into the family every single day.


They traveled, celebrated, laughed, and loved—together.


Alicia often looked at Lauren and saw life’s beautiful cycle unfold. From being a young mother in school to now a grandmother watching her family grow—this was motherhood, in all its grace and wonder.




“Motherhood isn’t just about giving birth—it’s about giving love, making sacrifices, and watching new stories bloom from the seeds you once planted.”

Beneath the Neem Tree

Beneath the Neem Tree This story is a reflection of a real place—rooted in memory, love, and quiet moments beneath the shade of a tree that stood for generations. The neem tree at the heart of this story was no ordinary tree. It was a well-known, evergreen beauty—gracefully spreading its branches and standing as the tallest tree in the center of our courtyard. Planted by my grandmother’s father-in-law, it became a living witness to family life, childhood joys, and the passage of time. Though the tree is no longer there, its presence lives on in the memories we carry. In the heart of a noisy, fast-growing city stood an old house, and in the middle of its courtyard grew a neem tree—tall, proud, and deeply rooted in both soil and memory. This neem tree wasn’t planted by chance. It was placed there by my grandmother’s father-in-law, many decades ago, with care and intention. Over the years, it grew into something more than just a tree. Its wide branches spread like arms embracing the house...

The Vacant Room

The Vacant Room Intro: Some doors are better left unopened. In this psychological horror short, a girl named Lisa vanishes inside her own home — only to return changed. What happens in the vacant room stays with her… and maybe with you too. When night falls, the house is swallowed by darkness. Lisa, home alone, walks through the quiet halls of the big, echoing home. Every second, the house seems to whisper — floorboards creak, the lights flicker, and the door to the old west wing bangs open and shut on its own. Curiosity outweighs her fear. Lisa walks to the mysterious door. She opens it… and then suddenly, the house shifts. She’s locked inside. The room is cold and bare, its air thick and wrong. A black cat slinks out of the shadows, meowing sharply, its eyes fixed on her like it knows something. Lisa backs into the corner of the vacant room, trembling, unsure of how she got in… or how to get out. She stays there all night, sweating, shivering, waiting for daylight. Bu...

Lucky Charm

  Lucky Charm What would you do if money started appearing out of nowhere — not once, but again and again? Caleb, a gentle and honest soul, finds himself at the center of an unexplained mystery on his terrace. This short story explores wonder, fear, and the quiet magic of life that disappears the moment we try to explain it. C aleb lived a quiet life. He was soft-spoken, gentle, and known in the neighborhood for always telling the truth — even when it didn’t benefit him. His days followed a peaceful rhythm: work in the morning, a jog in the afternoon, and music in the evening. But it was the terrace he loved most. That little open space on the rooftop was his retreat. He’d go up each evening, water the green chilies and baby tomatoes he’d planted in ceramic pots, and sit with a cup of tea, watching the sun slide behind the buildings. The terrace smelled of earth and sky, and to Caleb, that was comfort. One ordinary Tuesday, as he bent down to check on a sprouting tomato plant, he s...
