Carnival Mayhem
It has been years since I left my hometown, and I don't think I'll ever return. I do miss the timeless idles of the country, the sultry, gently undulating hills, and the cool, quiet sanctuary of the woods. I can still picture the night sky in my mind's eye, the endless black canvas speckled with glittering stars so vivid and clear they seemed within easy reach of your hand. Even now, the remembrance of the lonesome, poignant howls that would sometimes emerge Just a deep desire to return. But I have sworn to never step foot within that cursed town again. Not after what happened.

Another Day on the Job
Note: I wrote this for another page, with some slight changes, and it did not really get enough traction. The prompt was to write a story about someone missing out on a major event. I would just like to see if anyone is entertained enough by this one to comment or critique it.

The Selfish one was the purest one
maillage nestled in the heart of the forest, there lived a young girl named Lily. She was known to be the most selfish person in the village. She would never share her belongings with anyone and would always put her own needs before anyone else's. Her selfishness had earned her a reputation as an unkind and uncaring person, but little did anyone know that Lily was the purest soul in the village. Lily had a secret that she kept hidden from everyone. She had a rare gift - the ability to heal. Whenever someone in the village fell sick, Lily would secretly visit them and use her gift to heal them. She never asked for anything in return, not even a thank you. She did it simply because it made her happy to see others happy and healthy. One day, a terrible epidemic broke out in the village. People were falling sick left and right, and there was no cure to be found. Panic spread throughout the village, and people started to lose hope. But Lily knew that she could help. She spent her days and nights wandering through the forest, gathering herbs and plants that she knew could help cure the sickness. Despite her efforts, people in the village continued to fall ill, and the situation was growing dire. The village elders decided to hold a meeting to discuss what to do. Lily was not invited to the meeting, as she was not considered to be an important member of the community. She was devastated to know that her efforts were not being recognized. But Lily did not give up. She continued to gather herbs and plants, and she even started to experiment with different combinations to find a cure. And finally, after weeks of hard work, she found it - a cure for the sickness that was spreading throughout the village. Excited and eager to share her discovery, Lily rushed to the village square, where the village elders were holding a meeting. But when she arrived, she found that the square was empty. The elders had already left, and Lily had missed her chance to share her discovery. Feeling dejected and alone, Lily sat down on a log and started to cry. But then, she heard a voice behind her. It was the village elder, who had come back to the square to retrieve something he had left behind. He saw Lily crying and asked her what was wrong. Lily told him about her discovery and how she had missed her chance to share it with the elders. The village elder was amazed by what he heard. He had always thought of Lily as a selfish person, but now he realized that she was the purest soul in the village. The village elder took Lily to the meeting hall, where the other elders were still gathered. He told them about Lily's discovery and how she had been working tirelessly to find a cure for the sickness. The elders were skeptical at first, but when Lily showed them the cure, they were amazed. The news of Lily's discovery spread quickly throughout the village, and soon everyone knew about it. People started to see Lily in a new light, and they realized that her selfishness was just a facade. She was a pure and kind-hearted person who had been hiding her true self from the world. Lily's discovery saved countless lives in the village, and she became a hero to everyone. But for Lily, the greatest reward was knowing that she had been able to help others and make a difference in their lives. She continued to use her gift to heal, and even though she never asked for anything in return, people started to repay her kindness with kindness of their own. In the end, Lily's selfishness had been the purest thing about her. It was her desire to help others that had driven her to work tirelessly for weeks to find a cure for the sickness. And in doing so, she had shown the village that sometimes, the most selfish people are the ones with the purest hearts.
