3. The Dark Side of Travelling

Do you want to know the connection between traveling and a souvenir collection? @nathenial will how he feels about the part of traveling that no one evaluates before making those trips that they always talk about.

4. A FAMILY TRADITION (An Original Short Story)
Author: @lyxng

Read a short story about how Simon Buskovich spends his holiday with the town mayor's family who have a tradition of inviting a nursing home resident every year. The food gets served and what happens next is straight from a horror movie.
Not only was it an excellent story to read but the end was totally unexpected - and left me aching for more such stories.

5. An imaginary speech about education and relationships, a short story of fiction
Author: @lindahas

In this "speech", @lindahas talks about adapting to the times instead of making your children head into dissatisfied lives, in a replay of the hamster-wheel lifestyle. She differentiates millennials from other generations and writes about how they should be treated.
She has a valid argument that holds weight because she has a PhD in psychology, something that she was able to accomplish while still young.

Congratulations To The Featured Authors!
