Solstice of Renewal
In the quaint town of Solara, nestled between rolling hills and a shimmering lake, the anticipation of the summer solstice was palpable. The townspeople had been preparing for weeks, dusting off old scrolls and relics, and reawakening the tales of their ancestors. This year, they were to revive an ancient solstice ritual that had been dormant for centuries.

Regret
The Lost Chance It all started on a lazy Sunday afternoon. I was lounging on my couch, scrolling through old photos on my phone, when I stumbled upon a picture of Lisa and me from high school. Lisa, with her bright smile and infectious laughter, was my best friend back then. We did everything together – from late-night study sessions to sneaking out for midnight snacks.

Deadly Dreams. Content Warning.
John Weston was the wildest son of a gun you could ever meet as far as I was concerned. At age 19, he could out-hunt, fish, wrestle (thumb, arm, or on the mat), and drink any other man in our county. I wouldn't call him impulsive, but he had a short fuse. He did not suffer fools gladly, and it didn't take long for one (or more) to earn a challenge from John to shut up, get out, or fight. As quick as he was to mix it up, though, when the matter was settled to his satisfaction, he'd stop the fight and move on with his life. "No need to humiliate anyone, Billy," he'd say to me. "Just prove your point."

I'm Still Here. Content Warning.
Introduction This is for Hannah's "Back To The Party" Challenge which you can read here and enter: I included my attempt at Neil Young's "Love Is A Rose" when rehabilitating after losing the use of my left hand. At first, we were thinking possible stroke or heart attack but it was a trapped nerve.

To wear their broken shoes
“I don‘t need your pity nor your sermon, I only need you to understand me.“ Whenever my friends or fellow youth in our church share their personal problems before, I always say “Oh, I have experienced that as well! You know what...” I tried to prove how I can relate to their situation by sharing what happened to me and by strongly agreeing with what they felt. I did it ‘passionately’ every time thinking it was helpful and what they need.

The Wise Owl and the Talking Fox: A Tale of Friendship and Wisdom
In the heart of the Whispering Woods, where the trees seemed to murmur secrets to those who would listen, lived a wise old owl named Oliver. Oliver had seen many seasons come and go, perched atop the tallest oak tree. His feathers, once vibrant with youth, now held a dignified sheen of grey, and his large, golden eyes sparkled with the knowledge of countless nights spent under the stars.

Friday the 13th: I lost you... Saturday the 14th: The whole world lost you
She married him when she was 19. Still as innocent as a cloud and as innocent as any young man around that age. A first-year student at the University of Foreign Languages, she appears to be sharper than any girl she often meets, because of her observation and gaze that seems to penetrate the soul of the other person. She is passionate, worshipful and has a deep belief in astrology, or what many people call it by its beautiful scientific name: Horoscope. So much so that, after just a few contacts, she can guess what zodiac sign that person belongs to and what their personality is. This makes her incredibly confident about herself.
