The Town That Feared the Moon
They said it wasn’t light — it was memory shining back.
Every full moon, the people of Andel hid indoors. Windows shuttered, mirrors covered. Because when moonlight touched skin, it didn’t reflect — it remembered.
Those who stepped into it began to glow faintly, revealing every secret they’d ever kept. Adulterers, thieves, murderers — all lit up like stars of shame.
One child, too young to understand, wandered into the night. When dawn came, she stood smiling, unafraid — her light pure white.
By evening, the moon vanished entirely. Some say she forgave it.

Where do hobbies come from when it comes to life?
As we live life, how does it happen? Do we just get a job and work ourselves to death? How is it that we know what we want to do for a job, do we just think of things that we enjoy and that is how we figure out what job we want? Well, hobbies come from enjoying things that help us relax and clear our minds. As life goes on year after year, it gets busier and busier no matter the person. With life being so much busier do we think of the things that help us relax and regroup and where it comes from? Yes we do, we turn to our hobbies and look at how much they help us relax and regroup after long hard days at work, and all the running around that we do. Living life isn’t all about work as we all know and that is where the hobbies come into play. Hobbies come into our lives by doing the things that we enjoy to relax and clear our minds. This can be anything that we want it to be.
