Chapter
The Yarn of the Black Officer
The Yarn of the Black Officer begins with the echo of boots on stone and a name that stirs caution rather than reverence. The Black Officer, whose legend blends soldierly duty with dark mystique, first emerged during the 18th-century enlistment drives of the Black Watch. He moved through glens with a deceptive promise—that the men who followed him would merely march before the King in London. Instead, their destination was not ceremonial but colonial—India, far from home and riddled with conflict. The…-

The Post
The Post begins on a frostbitten evening as two unlikely companions prepare to depart through a sleeping town—one bound by duty, the other by schedule. The postman, wrapped in layers of coarse uniform and holding a dented sword more symbolic than practical, takes on the responsibility of delivering not just mail but a token of human warmth: a parcel and the greetings of someone too distant to speak in person. He is joined by a university student, not through friendship but by arrangement, setting the…-
