A Web of Deceit
Once upon a time in a quaint little town, there existed a group of friends who had known each other since childhood. Their bond was unbreakable, and they shared every secret, dream, and hardship. Among them was Ami, the seemingly innocent and gentle soul who harbored a dark secret. She had been deceiving her friends for years.

The life lesson I learned from a homeless kitty. Content Warning.
I had a long day at work, and all I wanted was to get back to my apartment and relax. As I was walking down the street, I saw a small, furry shape lying on the sidewalk. It was a stray cat, but it looked like a ragged ball of dirt and fur. It's eyes were crusted with dirt and tears, and it couldn't open them. It was barely breathing, and I felt pity for the poor creature.

My Awkward High School Moment
Hey, I'm Shubmana, and I've got this story that's still a bit cringy to talk about, but I guess it's time to share. It all went down in my high school cafeteria, the place where the daily drama unfolded. I was just a regular teenage girl trying to fit in with the cool kids, or at least not be seen as the biggest dork. Well, one day, that plan went awry in a major way.

The Books on a Shelf
My parents were not into home decorating. One time they went out to buy a piece of art to cover a bare bit of wall over a sofa. They went to the store and fought in front of the framed pictures for three hours. They came home with a water lily painting by Monet because that was the only thing they could agree on. This story kills me because I can't think of anything less style-neutral than a water lily painting by Monet. In any case, we owned four humongous bookcases which covered most of the rest of the available wall space.

The Price You Pay
Introduction The image is from my Pixabay page here: It is often thought that there is always a price to pay, especially for the things that make us happy. The song I have chosen is Bruce Springsteen's song of the same title from the album"The River" which is darker than this article will be although it will touch on difficult things.
