He deserves better.” I smiled, lifted my phone, and made a single call. “Execute it.” Then I looked straight at him. “You probably don’t know… your director position exists because I approved it.” He froze. “W–what are you saying?” I put down my phone calmly. “I’m saying… you’re fired.”
The Sunday family dinner at the Miller estate was usually a rigid, soul-crushing display of social hierarchy, an elaborate performance for an audience of none. Today, the atmosphere in the cavernous, mahogany-paneled dining room was thicker than ever, heavy with the scent of over-cooked roast beef and a simmering, palpable resentment that had been brewing…

I saved a child’s life and became a villain in the eyes of their parents. It was a Tuesday, the kind of forgettable afternoon that usually fades into the background noise of life. I was walking home from my office in downtown Chicago, my tie loosened, my mind already on dinner. As I rounded the…

The soft click echoed in the room, a sound so subtle yet powerful enough to slice through the tension. Ezra straightened up, a quiet confidence in his posture that made me sit a little taller. The once rickety stroller, that emblem of a taunt, shuddered gently. And then, to everyone’s astonishment, it began to transform.…
