Sketches of a Silent Dreamer
Arjun had always chosen the last bench. It wasn’t rebellion. It wasn’t laziness. It was invisibility. In a world that moved too fast and expected too much, the last bench offered safety—a place where he could fade away, untouched by judgment or disappointment.

"The Mountain and the Sky" – Simple and classic.
Once upon a time, nestled in a vast and wild land, stood a grand mountain. Towering high above the trees, it was covered with snowy peaks and had rivers cascading from its sides like silver threads. The mountain was proud. It stood tall, unmoved and mighty, looking down upon everything beneath it—forests, rivers, animals, even villages that dotted the valley below.

"Letters Never Sent" (poetic, hints at mystery and love lost)
Every Sunday at 4 p.m., Eleanor came to the same old wooden bench by Willow Lake. The bench, weather-worn and slightly tilted, faced the water where ducks drifted lazily and the sky painted its reflection with warm pastels.

The title of the story is: “The Sound of Courage”
Thirteen-year-old Aanya sat quietly on the bench outside the music room, her fingers nervously twisting the hem of her sweater. The air smelled of old wood, chalk dust, and faint notes of a distant piano. Inside, a group of students rehearsed for the school’s annual talent show. Laughter, applause, and snatches of music drifted through the slightly open door, but Aanya didn’t dare go in.

"The Clever Monkey and the Greedy Crocodile"
Once upon a time, in a lush green forest, there was a beautiful river that flowed calmly through the land. On the bank of this river stood a tall, old jamun (blackberry) tree. This tree bore sweet, delicious fruits all year round. A clever and kind-hearted monkey lived on this tree. He loved his life, swinging from branch to branch, eating juicy jamuns, and enjoying the peaceful surroundings.

The Day I Chose to Start Over
There’s a moment in life when silence becomes too loud to ignore. Mine came on an ordinary Tuesday morning. I was sitting alone in my small one-bedroom apartment, staring at a half-eaten slice of toast and wondering what the point of any of it was. I was 27, jobless, recently out of a long-term relationship, and drowning in a kind of quiet despair I couldn’t explain to anyone.

The Last Train Home"
The wind was biting, slicing through layers of coats and scarves like a blade of ice. Claire stood alone on the platform of the nearly deserted train station, her suitcase at her feet and her gloved hands buried deep in her coat pockets. The train, scheduled for 11:57 p.m., was the last one headed north that night. She had no other option but to wait.

"The Day I Didn’t Die" – emotional and reflective (as used in the story).
The morning of April 12th was like any other. Grey skies hovered above New York City, people walked fast with coffee in hand, and I was late—again. My job at the finance firm was soul-crushing, but it paid for my overpriced apartment and the silence I needed to forget how lonely I was.
