    Eighteen years ago, there were seven prosperous motherlands sharing the bountiful blessings of the gods. Then came the darkness uprising, the seven Great Mothers were judged and put on a trial. The Great Mothers failed the judgment trial thus all of their children were sentenced to vanish, and latter purified the world from all sins. But before the Great Mothers vanished, they asked the gods for one condition: to spare the faithful ones from the salvation and to let their faith dictate their deliverance. Then the Great Salvation began. The world turned into darkness and became an ocean of great despair. But people beneath the ground survived and now facing the Great Age of Deliverance. Among these people was Ember. He was born few weeks after the spark of the Great Salvation. His first taste of air was the rotten smell of the corpses below the dungeon. His first sight was the flaring torch in the cave of darkness. He had never seen a light ever since he was born, nor experienced the desired life people had before the Great Salvation. In this world of darkness, what hope lies ahead for Ember? Will there be light again if the world will thrive once more? [Published in April 1st, 2022]

    This is a novel type short story I am writing. This is just a general yet thought provoking fiction and spiritual story of a local but courageous journalist striving to prove to herself that maybe she was destined to complete a mission from GOD, a mission that only she thinks she will accomplish no matter what but does not know how. With shattering hopes and then again pulling herself together, she never let the spirit fades away. A story that is interesting and evocative. It is blend of fear, hope, despair, miracles, truth, struggles, pain and Humanity. Thought to share it with you guys, I hope you will enjoy it and and find it a source of relaxation in leisure time! (the story shall be published in parts to carry the continuity).

    When Elaine and I walked into the school hallways that morning the first thing I did not expect to see was Hailey Winchester's dead body hanging from a rope in the middle of the hallway. Come to think of it that day had a little tension in the air or that could have all been in my head. Anyway the sight of Hailey Winchester's dead body didn't give me goosebumps, I mean almost all the honor students had wished she was dead so we got our wish. What gave me goosebumps were the words that had been painted with her blood . It read in bold capital letters "YOU ARE NEXT".
