Love
The Love of Flying
Fanny pulled the hat brim close to her face, blocking anyone from a clear view. She must look like a newspaper boy between the hat and the paper rattling in her hands. She felt a barely controlled excitement as the plane taxied down the runway. She felt the world changing around her.

Passing Ships
It was a cloudy day in late September when I found myself sitting at the end of a pier, staring out at the calm waters of the harbor. The air was thick with the smell of salt and fish, and the only sounds were the gentle lapping of the waves against the pilings and the distant hum of boat engines.

Memorial
An aura of heavy soot pressed against me. Did I just go for a swim? Or am I just sweating that much? Eyes unable to open, I felt my limp body sag against a cold wall. The experience was lucid; unable to control my own body for the only sense I could remotely interact with was sound. As I sat there, slouched, I never considered that for the time I was awake, my ears rang with the voices of my friends as if it were background music. As I searched for sounds over the muffled giggles, I would occasionally hear something that resembled crickets chirping in an extremely low tone. A tone so horrifyingly irritating but also reminiscent of my mother's countryside house.

Sarah
I knew there was a young couple named Sarah and Alex. They had grown up together and had been best friends since childhood. As they grew older, they realized that they had feelings for each other that went beyond friendship. Sarah was a talented artist, and Alex was a gifted musician. They both shared a love for creativity and dreamed of one day making it big in their respective fields. They often talked about how "the sky is the limit" and how they could achieve anything they wanted if they worked hard enough.

"The Enchanted Forest"
Once upon a time, there was a dense forest called the Enchanted Forest. The forest was so thick with trees that sunlight could barely penetrate the canopy, making it appear as if it were always dusk. This was the place where the villagers feared to tread. The stories of its magical inhabitants, its dangerous terrain, and the deep secrets it held had been passed down from generation to generation.
