Once upon a time, there was a boy named Jack and a girl named Emily. Despite spending their entire lives in the same town, they were strangers to one another. Emily was outgoing and well-liked, whereas Jack was a quiet, reserved type. While Jack secretly adored Emily, he lacked the confidence to approach her.
One day, Emily was requested to sing a solo during a school assembly. Her voice was like an angel, and it absolutely surprised Jack. He eventually worked up the guts to approach her after the gathering. Emily was astonished to find Jack speak to her, but she was polite and cordial.
Once they began conversing, they discovered how much they had in common. They both loved music and enjoyed spending time outdoors. They developed close friendships over the following few weeks. Jack even started to develop feelings for Emily.
One evening, Jack escorted Emily to a remote hilltop. They were there, beneath the stars, enjoying their favorite music. Jack confessed his feelings to Emily and to his surprise, she felt the same way! They had their first kiss that night and it was fantastic.
They started dating and spending all their spare time together. Through thick and thin, Jack was there for Emily at all times. Their love was strong and sincere, and they had a profound connection. Their friends and teachers noticed a change in Jack, he was happier and more outgoing. He was at his best when Emily was around, and he couldn’t picture living without her.
Unfortunately, their joy was fleeting. Emily’s family was moving to another town, and she would have to leave Jack behind. Despite their broken hearts, they made the choice to enjoy their remaining time together. They went on long walks, watched the sunset, and produced lifelong memories.
The day arrived when Emily had to depart. It was a tearful goodbye, and neither of them wanted to let go. Both Emily and Jack agreed to stay in touch. Jack also pledged to write Emily. They hugged one last time and went their separate ways.
Jack was devastated, he missed Emily deeply. Every week she would send him a letter, which he eagerly anticipated, but it wasn’t enough. He yearned to see her face to face, to embrace her, and to confess his love to her. He would have to wait until the end of the academic year to pay her a visit in her new town, though.
The day eventually arrived, and Jack hesitantly made his way to Emily’s residence. She was overjoyed to meet him, and they spent the following days getting to know one another while visiting the area. They visited museums, parks, and went to concerts. They were inseparable.
On the final evening of Jack’s stay, they took a stroll by the lake. As they took a seat on a bench, Jack held Emily’s hand.”Emily, I know we have to part again, but I can’t imagine living without you,” he said as he stared into her eyes. Let’s decide to be together forever. Do you want to wed me?
When Emily realized what had happened, she started crying. She nodded and said, “Yes, I will,” turning to face Jack.
They gave each other a hug, and it was a moment they will always remember. They were aware that the road ahead would be difficult, but they were focused on making it work. Jack and Emily made the decision to communicate via weekly letters, daily phone calls, and frequent in-person visits.
Every day they spent together made their love grow deeper. They lived together, got jobs, and graduated from college with flying colors.Along the way, they faced challenges, but they always kept the faith and prevailed.
Years later, Jack and Emily were sitting hand in hand on the same bench by the lake. They grinned at each other as they remembered their enduring love. They understood that they were the fortunate ones who had discovered genuine love and managed to hold onto it against all difficulties.
Their love story served as both an example of the power of love and an inspiration to many. Jack and Emily were certain that their love would endure forever and that they would treasure every second spent together.
In conclusion, love is a strong feeling that has the capacity to alter lives. The love story between Jack and Emily was one of those heartwarming tales of romance that everyone will never forget. Obstacles like time and distance were no match for their love. They demonstrated that when you love someone, you cling on, and you never let go.

The Road to Nowhere
Trigger warnings: Violence, Death. "May the Sun burn your tongue out, woman," Fredrick's father screamed the curse into his mother's ear as their elegant little carriage rumbled along, its polished wood and gilded trim glinting in the torchlight. They had just left the small village of Saffron and were on an unnamed road to the capital for the Royal wedding. Fredrick leaned back in his plush velvet seat to escape into the passing landscape, but across from him sat the servant boy, a scrappy lad named Jack. Jack's eyes held a mixture of awe and fear, the kind that only a commoner could feel in the presence of nobility. Jack looked up and caught Fredrick's gaze, offering him a sad little smile before reaching into his pocket and retrieving a little caramel treat. This candy was no doubt stolen from the kitchen treat cupboard; if he was caught with it, he would be locked in the box as punishment.

Can You Drive a Ford Fiesta Through a Desert?
I’m flying down the B1 highway from Windhoek to Keetmanshoop with a map and a boot full of camping gear. I’m excited for the first stop of my Namibian road trip: the Quiver Tree Forest. I spot the sign and turn onto the C17, off the tarmac and onto the gravel. I’ll be there soon; it’s only ten miles or so. I am unprepared for what comes next. The car slides and slips across the road. I am not fully in control anymore. I slow to a crawl. The car judders and shudders, the noise deafening, the vibrations rattling the teeth in my skull. It takes me around an hour to drive the ten miles. I arrive at the campsite relieved to be in one piece, even if it feels like all my bones have been shaken slightly out of place. I will later learn that this is what happens when the gravel road becomes “corrugated”, and that the roads authority goes round once a week to “grade” them. Seems I arrived about 6 days after the grader had last been round.
