The Secret Hiding In The Lake
There weren't always dragons in the Valley. Shadow Lane was a very quiet valley with only a few hundred people scattered about. The lake is the spot that the entire village would go to for all the best celebrations. It seemed smaller when walking around the full lake just for a breath of air. Staring across from the celebration spot there was a hidden secret that was peeking out. The lake seemed so much bigger looking out than it looked on the walk around.

The Small Sinking Boat
Deminic and Starella Claudia left home in Britain for an adventure to America. Deminic invited his baby sister Mezzy Mae and her new husband Amer Tonic to join in the experience. They all boarded a very tiny boat with a plan to travel for a bit. Some added creations made the boat more suitable to fit them all comfortably. Deminic was a builder and loved creating new things. His wife Starella could stitch or sew anything together better than anyone. Deminic used four smaller boats to develop a bigger boat to carry them all. At each end of the ship, he created a secured room for each couple to sleep. Starella made the blankets along with warmer clothing.

The Slice Of Cake That Was Calling Her Name
Grace was a woman who enjoyed many different flavored foods. One thing that Grace could never walk away from was a perfect good warm slice of chocolate cake. The world would feel much better if they all just had a piece of its delicious chocolate cake in Grace's mind. Years of traveling about here and there, she had tried a great deal of many different foods. She would write about all the varieties of foods that she had tried. There was always a list of her favorites and those that she did not consider to be as desirable. She listed the not so fond items because there may be others who did like them. Grace was coming up on the last few trips before her trip home. There was a place that a great many people had bragged about where the woman who made some pretty fantastic food also made the most deliciously moist cake in the world. Grace decided that she wanted to try this cake for herself.

The Creation The World Makes
Step 1. The deeper look that I would like to take into the pictures in this article will show a few different ways to create several pictures. The first picture that I would like to bring up is the spot in the picture within a picture. Another part of this picture within a picture is to spot the picture that your mind sees. The way to do this is by having an extraordinary imagination or being able to see past what other people see.

The Strange Girl Sitting In The Rain Writing
The day still lingers in my mind. I could smell the rain with a hint of lavender. The lavender was from the lotion that I was wearing at the time. Sitting on the school steps not too far from home, I waited. The rain had not yet started, but I could feel the soft drops tapping at my skin already. I smiled as a cat walked up and decided my foot was its bed. A neighbor walked up, looking down at the cat. The neighbor called for the cat to come home. The cat gave a soft meow to me just before following his owner back home.

THE SIGNS THAT SURROUND US
We are each born on different dates at different times. Our birth dates help to separate us into more groups. The groups do not mean anything wrong. My sign is a Virgo, known for being loyal, and the element is Earth. The definition for a Virgo here where I live does not mean it will be the same in another country. My father is a Leo, and my mother was an Aries. Each person gets put into a group, assuming that everything stated in tiny writing is what that person is. The truth is that we are honestly not all just one sign.

The Surprise In The Shadows
Alajandria followed a routine every day. The alarm clock woke her with a scary screeching scream. This was the only way that she would wake up. After Alajandria finished her daily chores she headed outside for a long walk with her lunch basket in hand. She stopped at the edge of the lake to have a look at the shiny water. Once she watched the water splashing into the rocks for a bit she closed her eyes to take in the fresh air around her. A half-hour had passed by when Alajandria continued her walk past the lake. The walk went on for another half hour until reaching the old grass-covered path that led to an old shack. This was a favorite place of hers to come to visit. It was here that she would allow her imagination to run freely in every direction. There were stories imagined of a great many lives living inside the tiny shack in front of her.

The Year For New Resolutions
The year 2020 burst in with a massive flame spreading everywhere. Every day there was a reoccurring event of bad news. It was like the world was on a repeating time-loop that stole people to take along the way. I have to say that 2020 had some serious balls of stone. Rushing in with its radar stretching in every direction. There was no corner of the world that was truly safe. The year was stealing whoever it chose without care.

Forward
The year 2020 came in with a ticking bomb that the people were not expecting. The damage that it brought with it spread in every single direction. This bomb that I am referring to was not your average bomb. When this bomb went off it carried a sickness that spread in every single direction. This year is heading out to make room for the new year to come in. When this year heads out it is leaving behind a great deal of damage. It is leaving behind one of the biggest trails of sadness that could be walked. This year is taking a great deal of loved and cherished people along with it.
