Darkness turns its head away from light. The old lady walks daily past my window. She stops to say hello. Her face with deep wrinkles looks up at me. Tears in her eyes as she begins to speak. Memories flash in her mind as if she was 20 again. Her tattered multicolored dress flows in the warm breeze of the sunny day. She walks daily, reliving her youth in her mind as the tears return. Sunlight shines on her face, and her tears evaporate. A smile appears from the wrinkles that 90 years had sculpted in her long history.

Silence
I don’t remember the day the world ended. But I do remember the day I noticed. That photo was it, but I did not know what it meant until I sat in my darkened bathroom, staring at the newly developed film. The street was neither empty, nor abandoned. It was dead. The colours of the flowers wrapped in that red ribbon caught my eye, and as I crouched to take that photo, I could hear only the lonely silence of a graveyard after dark.

My First International Travel by Plane: A Bitter Experience
I had consistently longed for voyaging abroad, the charm of investigating another nation and drenching myself in an alternate culture tantalizingly barely too far. At long last, the day showed up when I was set to set out on my most memorable global excursion. My objective was Paris, the City of Light, prestigious for its heartfelt charm, noteworthy milestones, and energetic culture. Much to my dismay that this eagerly awaited experience would transform into a progression of sad occasions that would test my understanding, strength, and comical inclination.
