He walked only at night, moving between dreams like corridors. Each person he passed slept deeply, unaware that he gathered pieces of their fear and carried them away. When dawn approached, he returned home heavier but kinder. One morning, he found his burden had turned into light, and he realized compassion always transforms weight into guidance.

The Whispering Orchard
People claimed the trees in the orchard murmured when no one was listening. Clara stayed long after sunset, pressing her ear to the bark. She heard stories—tales of every hand that had ever plucked fruit, every wish whispered beneath their branches. She realized trees remember everything. And she promised to speak only truths in their shade.

PERCEIVE
I remember as a child growing up, I always look forward to night times where I could go to bed, close my eyes and imagine things. Every night was a continuation from where I left before dozing off the previous night. I imagined all kinds of things that I even created a vision board without realizing it. I imagined myself as someone from a particular family, having a certain skin tone and hair color and going to places with my parents. I remember cutting out pictures from magazines and sticking them onto one of my exercise books dedicated for that purpose. It was enjoyable doing it and I loved it! I don't know when I stopped and why I did. But that was my world of being a child, free from worries and stress, free in my mind, free to create an imaginary world where I found my excitement in. Now if you ask me to tap into this child in me and redo those things, the experience would be different. I would look forward to night times so I can get good night rest.

Brass Ring Chapter 10: Bruno Gets Back In The Saddle
Bruno loved the Reubens at the Loaded Swallow, and he savored his sandwich. Well, the one he had to order after my idiot boyfriend was gone. He was also scrolling through the paperwork for the Blue Card Program. He also checked to make sure that Paul was still listed as part of the program; while officially it was set up to make life easier for CAPES members, unofficially it was created to fuel a certain speedster while in the field. It was something he was happy to do; nothing was worse than a hungry speedster in an enclosed space. He had found that out when Paul was trapped by Tintran the Terrible several Christmases ago.
