Whispers in the Wind
A Tale of Regret and Redemption
He sat on the park bench, lost in thought. The world rushed by, oblivious to his invisible struggle. Shadows of regret played on his face as he recalled the missed opportunities, the words left unsaid. A crumpled piece of paper, a forgotten love letter, slipped from his pocket. It danced in the wind, teasing him with what could have been. In that moment, a gust of wind carried it away, a symbol of his faded chances. As it disappeared into the unknown, he vowed to seize the present, to never let another opportunity slip through his fingers.

The Boy & The Tree
I guess being homeless isn’t as bad as I thought. At least I get to develop a strong bond with Mother Earth. Tuval, a depressed, withdrawn, bookish 14-year-old high school student, felt no more warmth, comfort, peace, and confidence in his life. The family’s vast, beige, villa-style house became a war zone; Tuval heard nothing but constant yelling, cursing, breaking glass, punching holes in the walls, and kicking cabinets. His bald, grumpy, sociopathic alcoholic father ruled the home with his cold-hearted nature. His miserable, indifferent, prune-coloured haired, overweight mother never listened to what he had to tell her about how he felt about his family. She always dismissed him and said things like, “Man up! It is a part of life!" Him and his brothers were at odds; they never got along and they had nothing in common with Tuval, so he’d often be seen spending time in his bedroom alone every night after dinner. The whole concept of family living covered his body with goosebumps.
