The Rain That Remembered Faces
Each drop carried a memory that wasn’t yours.
A drought struck a nameless town for nine years — until one night, rain fell like a miracle. People ran outside, laughing, dancing in it. But when the drops hit their skin, they saw visions: strangers’ faces, fragments of forgotten lives, people long dead.
Some screamed, recognizing lost children. Others wept with joy. The rain soaked the earth and vanished, leaving behind puddles that reflected cities that didn’t exist.
Meteorologists called it a hallucination. The townsfolk called it mercy. And every year since, they’ve waited for the sky to remember them again.

The Man Who Dreamed the Future — and Hated It
Jonas was a mathematician who claimed he could predict tomorrow’s news through dreams. At first, he foresaw small things — a spilled cup, a missed train. Then he saw disasters: earthquakes, wars, names of people who hadn’t yet died.

Hallelujah Hobby Living
Life is always meant to be lived hallelujah! Now that is a catchy phrase isn’t it? It is especially around the holidays where life is so busy and hobbies are sometimes put on the back burner because of all the other things we need to do in life during this time of year. Or are hobbies put on the back burner during this time of year? I guess this all depends on the people who are doing said hobbies and how they live their lives and what they do in their lives. As we all know hobbies are always a part of life they are what makes our lives what they are, in terms of giving our lives variety. The more we put our hobbies in our lives the more we live through them. It so much more fun this way, and there is so much more that comes from your hobbies this way too. When you put your hobbies into the way that you live your life, how do you feel? Do you feel rejuvenated or like Hallelujah things are changing and they are so much more fun? I would say that I feel a little bit of both, this is because I love putting my hobbies and life together and seeing where the two things take me all the time.
