The Unlikely Duo
Thenlikely At the very center of New York City's busy skyline and never-ending hum lived two people who were different from each other as darkness is from light. Sarah, an artist with a free soul and relishing everything from vivid colors to mad ideas, was soothed by the cacophony tat this city was. It is in the predictable rhythm of numbers and spreadsheets where he finds solace, being such a meticulous accountant with a head for order and precision. Their paths were about as divergent as their personalities; nevertheless, fate had a peculiar way of intertwining their lives.

The Sleepless Night
t The house was a fortress under siege. Its wooden frame was begging for reprieve with its creaking and groaning, as if in protest against these invisible forces that pressed in upon it from outside. Outside, the cacophony of strange noises painted a terrifying portrait of a world gone mad. My mom and dad slumped around the house, haunted and sleep-deprived. Their eyes, once lit by warmth and love, held a chilling emptiness. I sat at the top of the stairs, sentinel, with all senses on high alert. The house could have been a labyrinth of shadows; each creak of a board, each whisper of air, sent shivers down my spine. Then it came: a thunderous pounding at the front door, followed by a guttural scream that seemed to shake the very foundations of the house. The sound of breaking glass shattered the tense silence.

Surprisingly, the new surroundings sounded serene, almost to a quixotic degree. David opened his eyes to a setting that was all too familiar yet alien at the same time: all around him were tall tree of a reddish-brown hue but with gold, blue, and purple leaves that had a silver edge to each of them; the sky shone a greenish hue with golden red clouds marking the sky; the grass beneath his feet seemed to glisten a silvery red and gave off an earthy, alluring scent in as the wind blew around. The forest they were in, though unsettling in terms of it’s peculiar color scheme, felt as if it were singing as the gentle breeze traversed the trees and other foliage.

Roots and Romance - A Fight for Nature and Love – Chapter 1
Chapter One "This is my own private torture chamber," she said to herself, as the beat-up bus rattled to a stop, spewing a cloud of dust that for an instant obscured the quaint depot facade. Time seemed to slow down for Britta as she stared out the window. Her forehead creased, intent on the task; her lips pressed into a thin line. Her fingers drummed a nervous rhythm on the windowsill, an overt clash to the stillness of the outside world. The bustling city life she was accustomed to felt like a chronicle. Here, in this scorching sleepy town nestled amidst rolling hills, silence stretched as vast as the sky.
