The Whisper That Outlived Its Speaker
Words That Became More Than Sound
A dying poet whispered a final line of verse into the wind. Instead of fading, the whisper traveled across continents, lingering in forests, drifting through cities, and circling mountains. Those who heard it didn’t understand the words, yet felt mysteriously changed — comforted, strengthened, awakened. Scholars searched for the sound for decades but never found its source. Some concluded the whisper survived because the poet spoke not to be remembered, but to set something free.

The Bridge That Led Nowhere
A bridge stood over a still lake, connecting one patch of land to nothing at all. Travelers who crossed it found themselves stopping midway, unsure why. Some said the air felt heavier; others said it felt lighter. Elders explained that the bridge was not meant to take people somewhere but to remind them that not every step in life needs a destination. Many walked to the middle, stood in silence, and returned with clarity they didn’t know they were missing.

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.
