The Museum of Lost Faces
They said every sculpture looked familiar — until they realized why.
Hidden beneath the streets of Florence, there’s a private collection known only by invitation: Il Museo dei Volti Perduti — The Museum of Lost Faces.
Every sculpture there is breathtakingly real — not idealized, not stylized, but alive. Visitors often swear they’ve seen one of the faces before: a barista, a stranger on the train, an old friend they can’t quite name.
The curator, Signora Bellori, insists each is an original — but never reveals the artist.
When art student Lucia snuck in after hours, she noticed something strange. Each sculpture’s eyes followed her. Not lifeless — aware. She tripped, touching one — and felt warm skin. The statue blinked.
In the morning, the guards found a new sculpture added to the collection — a perfect likeness of Lucia.
Her expression was the same as all the others: mid-breath, mouth open, eyes wide with surprise.

Hobbies And Life Are Fun Aren't They
Fun is meant to be a part of life, isn’t it? Yes it is and what is the best way to have fun in life? So yes fun is meant to be a part of life, and the best way to have fun in life is to do it through your lifestyle and the hobbies that you do. If your hobbies aren’t fun for you then why are you doing them, that is the question that I always ask myself. When I ask myself this question I come up with a list, and this list includes getting outside when there is sun or the weather is nice, watching your favourite show, or reading your favourite book. Making friendship bracelets if you find that fun. Just to name a few. When you live life and make it fun you do so by doing the things that you enjoy to do, what I listed above for example. Or watch your favourite movie or television show. Remember life isn’t all about work so when you put hobbies into your life that is where the fun comes in because if you are having fun with something you are usually doing a hobby and not thinking about work.
