My footsteps echoed loudly throughout the hollowed stone hallway, alerting everyone sleeping of my urgency to reach my leaders. It was an ungodly hour, but I had to speak with them. This matter couldn't wait.
Once I arrived at their sleeping quarters, I gave the wooden door a firm yet tempered knock. The seconds it took for my King to answer felt like eons.
He pulled open the door and threw an angry scowl at me for disturbing his sleep. But before he could utter a reprimand, I delivered my harrowing news.
"I foresaw our fates. Tomorrow, your Kingdom falls."

I have a few stories and poems inside me that I want to share. Maybe, if I'm lucky, they'll reach people who'll enjoy them. 📖
The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.

Draft with Revisions
My father told me what life was. You go to school. You get a job. You earn money. You retire. My father didn’t offer this as advice, no. He described it as routine, a set way of doing things that had worked before. Years of hardship, repetition, and caution shaped this path. There was no room for discussion. I never questioned it because that seemed pointless, even wasteful, and waste was not allowed in that system.
