"Decoding the Past, Unlocking a Deadly Secret"
In the 18th century, a famous poet goes missing under mysterious circumstances, leaving behind only a series of cryptic verses. Hundreds of years later, a literary historian stumbles upon an unpublished manuscript in an old, hidden library. The manuscript hints at a secret society that used poetry as a code to uncover hidden treasures. As the historian decodes the verses, they find themselves entangled in a dangerous game, where they must outwit a group of people determined to keep the secrets buried.
"The poet’s words were never meant to be read, but now I’m caught in a race against time to unlock a deadly secret that’s been hidden for centuries."

Gravitational Pull and the Moon
"That's an amazingly astute observation. I couldn't have said it better myself." "Yeah, but like — just because I can reach that conclusion logically doesn’t mean I can feel it. You know? Like my emotions are on the other side of the planet from me. No, they're on the fucking moon, and I'm here, and my logic means nothing at all because I can't get myself to feel what I know, and there's no oxygen where my emotions live, and I'm suffocating."
