The Power of a Smile
The Radiance of a Simple Gesture
A smile can brighten up the darkest days,
With just a curve of lips, so bright and true.
It spreads its radiance in many ways,
And lifts the spirits of the meek and few.
A smile can chase away the clouds of doubt,
And fill the hearts of those who see it shine.
It's a beacon of hope that will never go out,
A source of comfort, and a ray of sunshine.
It's a simple gesture, yet so grand,
In its ability to heal and unite.
It bridges gaps and takes a stand,
Against the shadows of the darkest night.
So let thy smile be a shining light,
A gift to those around thee, day and night.

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.
