Onjalazbroz- Testing the Foundation of Knowledge

The sun hung low in the sky, a dull orange ember smoldering behind a haze of dust. Chwa found Bandia perched on the cracked concrete slabs that served as the stairway to their mother’s house. Bandia’s eyes were half-lidded, the whites tinged pink, his gaze drifting lazily over the empty yard. The scent of burnt herbs clung to him—earthy, pungent, familiar.

The silence between them was comfortable, worn-in, like an old shirt. Finally, Chwa exhaled sharply and said, "Bandia, I think it’s time I started smoking weed." Bandia turned slowly, his lips curling into a knowing smirk. "Oh? And what brought this grand revelation?" Chwa rubbed his palms together, staring at the dirt between his feet. "I used to think I could get through this life sober. Thought if I worked hard, kept my ...

David sat on his sofa, the dense mattress cushions feeling as hard as plain hardwood beneath him. For several days now, he had been trapped in the same routine—waking up early each morning, anxiously checking his phone and email inbox.

David desperately wanted to speak directly to the hiring manager, but some unspoken rule—whether the receptionist's own policy or a direc...
