Lights and Marshmallows
Maria could see how the night sky was riddled with stars safe and warm through the living room window. She was at her grandparents’ house, which was thankfully near her family’s place, so they visited a lot. Especially during Christmas time when many of her cousins and their families would also come to visit. Her grandparents not only had a huge front yard and backyard but their property was secluded by trees so she and her cousins were able to run around without fear of being disturbed by nosy neighbors. Maria was having a great time this Christmas, even though as usual, there wasn’t a speck of snow on the ground despite the season.

His parents assumed he was merely going through a phase of adolescence. However, one day, the physical changes in their child became too evident to ignore: fatigue, bloodshot eyes, and a worn-out demeanor. Changes in his social circle and frequent requests for allowance further supported their concerns.

Embers of Winter's Heart
The wind howled outside the small stone cottage, frost-laced gusts wrapping the world in a chilling embrace. Snow pressed against the leaded glass windows, transforming the outside into a blurred canvas of white. Yet, inside, warmth clung to the air like a soft, golden glow, a refuge against the harshness of winter’s breath. Flames danced in the hearth, illuminating the corners of the room as laughter echoed from the kitchen, creating a melody that mingled with the crackling fire.
