The Empty Locker
I didn’t know his name at first. I only knew the silence. It was a Tuesday in October. The high school hallway buzzed with its usual chaos—backpacks slamming, laughter echoing, sneakers squeaking on linoleum. But one locker stayed shut. No one leaned against it.

The Suitcase in the Hallway
I didn’t pack lightly. The suitcase sat by the door for three days—half-full, then overflowing, then emptied again.

The Couple We All Watched Grow Up
I didn’t know them. But I felt like I did. For over a decade, they were part of my life—not as celebrities, but as characters in a story I watched unfold in real time.

Why A Vocal Microfiction Is Like A Ramones Song

The Numbers Behind the Name: Echos News ZA
Got myself into blogging, again. So I dusted my desk, laptop in front of me, cup of fresh tea. I searched for my blog account which had been sitting there for years — blank. Instead of writing a blog like everyone else, a News Hub idea came to me, and it sounded nice. Suddenly, a name appeared: ECHOS.
