Eternal Serenade
In the bustling city of Harmonia, two strangers found themselves captivated by the mesmerizing sounds of the grand piano that echoed through the dimly lit streets every night. Amelia, a passionate violinist, would stand under the flickering streetlamp, her bow dancing across the strings, harmonizing with the mysterious pianist's melody. Little did she know, the pianist was Adrian, a reclusive composer who poured his heart into the piano keys, expressing emotions he couldn't put into words.

Collier's Junior Classics
A shelf of my own Among Mom's vast collection Adventures within *** I don't know how many readers will be old enough to remember these books. Collier's Encyclopedia was one of the prized collections in my mother's extensive library. The Junior Classics were a "bonus gift" that the salesperson could offer to close the sale. (Encyclopedias were expensive enough then to come with a payment plan and sometimes a subscription plan that allowed you to purchase one volume at a time.)

Why do I hate weekends?
You may have other reasons for disliking weekends, but here are some reasons why I believe people despise weekends: Completing tasks: this one is always a tough one. At work or school, you at least have the excuse of fatigue to avoid doing tasks. On the weekend, you're stuck with them. Whether it's vacuuming, washing dishes, dusting, or any other task, it's going to be monotonous. Better complete them quickly, haha.

Life was taken from her, so life could be given to her.
Escaping cutthroats. She was sold as a brood mare. Her sun and son died.
