21 Shades of Love
It all started when Emma Tyler woke up in a place where she does not know and the place looked very abandon and eerie. It also reeked of a terrible smell with a hint of sounds from many sorts of insects. Emma also found that she had been handcuffed to a metal pole in the centre of that eerie room, she tries her very best to unlock it but all her escape plan went down the drain. She cried for help, but no one heard it because the place was empty, and it was infested by rats and there were spider webs all over the place. It was clear that no one would ever come to such place and it was probably not even anywhere near her neighbourhood or the town. The only thing Emma was able to do is pray to God and hope for the best.

Book Review: Tales of Lunis Aquaria by Tessa Hastjarjanto
The sun is setting. The bright blue of the sky changes in a warm orange before it turns navy blue. Twilight slowly turns into night and the voices of the birds fade away. To the West, a moon shows itself, chasing away the clouds that block its light. The tree casts a shadow in the moonlight. On the other side of the tree another shadow appears. To the East, a second moon appears from behind the mountains. The reflection of light reveals the surface of the moons moves. It’s hypnotizing, how the moons seem to glitter. A meow comes from the bushes and a moment later a large feline with fur as dark as night sky jumps out. The silver spots on his fur have the same patterns as the stars above. The air behind the feline moves and changes color. The ethereal image of a woman appears without becoming solid. Her lips move as if she wants to say something. “Welcome to Lunis Aquaria.”
