A Great Treasure

Liyang created replica vases for collectors from originals. He was busy when the thugs burst in. “The Ming Vase!” they demanded.

Liyang nodded. “No violence. Please – Allow me to finish this replica for collection tonight?”

I’m longing for a short story

Life is short for some. Short is a measure of time, a distance, an order of liquor. It’s a length of a story or of a nap, short hair or shortfall.
You can be short sighted, short on cash or time. 
You can take a shortcut, short walk or a short drive. Now there is a contest that is dedicated to the word … short. 
The definition of the word short is long!

Libraries are Always The Best Story

In 2026, the library staff no longer whisper—they welcome noise. The building is a thriving community hub for all ages, full of conversation, laughter, and movement. Physical books share space with digital stories glowing on screens. Computers sit beside games where generations play together. Study rooms, maker stations, and music corners fill the building with life. The library changes lives every day, and that is always the best story.

Art

Art makes me happy. It brings me joy. Art relaxes me. When I finish a piece I feel proud of what I made.
