The Door That Led to Yesterday
A Day Returned Only Once
A forgotten alley housed a wooden door that, when opened at sunset, led to the previous day. A woman grieving a mistake stepped through it, hoping to change the past. She relived the day — but found that even when altering events, her heart remained unchanged. When she returned through the door, it sealed forever.

The Bird That Never Landed
A bird circled a town endlessly, never landing even during storms. A curious boy asked why it never rested. An elder replied, “It carries a wish someone made long ago. It can land only when that wish is fulfilled.” The boy spent years trying to discover the wish. When he became an old man, he realized it had been his own: to never give up searching for meaning.

The Cave Part 1
"What happened to me?" The question hung in the air, damp and hollow as it was. I felt the closeness of the walls, solid and deep. There was no echo. No hope that a simple voice could impede the silent dark. It surrounded me, gathered up and rolled over me with a blanket of complete forgetfulness. I was gone. Dead. To all who knew me, lost years ago. This is what happens to bones. This is what happens to those buried and left to lie beneath the earth until the end of time.

Why Should Living Have So Many Hobbies In It
When we live life do we think about how we should go about doing it or do we just do it? When you live, how do we do it? We sleep, we eat, we move our bodies, and that is what life is all about. The question is why should living have so many hobbies? We all know that having hobbies in life is a good thing because it is a way for us to relax and do things we enjoy. Sometimes we can do these things on our own and have some alone time and other times we can bring people with us and do it as a group. This all depends on the hobbies that we are doing and what we want out of them. Living the life that we want to live has so many hobbies because it makes how we live life worth it. The more we do the hobbies we enjoy in the way we live our lives the more we will get out of life through the hobbies we do. Living has hobbies to give life the variety that it does so that we are all uniquely different and so that we can get so much more out of life.
