Fragments of Forever

Image
In the quaint town of Willowbrook, where the whispering willows danced with the wind, there lived a girl named Sonam. Her laughter echoed through the cobblestone streets, and her eyes sparkled like the stars that adorned the midnight sky. But beneath her radiant exterior lay a heart burdened by the weight of unspoken dreams and untold truths. Enter Pravine, a soul as enigmatic as the moonlight that bathed the town in its ethereal glow. With a heart forged from the depths of darkness and light, he wandered through life, searching for meaning amidst the chaos of existence. Their paths crossed one fateful summer evening, beneath the ancient oak tree that stood as a sentinel to their shared destiny.

Dormant Darkness

Image
As the moon cast its pale glow over the imposing facade of St. Augustine's Boarding School, a sense of foreboding lingered in the crisp night air. Among the new arrivals to the school was young Ethan, a bright-eyed boy eager to embark on his academic journey in a new hostel. Excitement tinged with nervousness filled Ethan's heart as he stepped into his sparsely furnished dorm room. The stale scent of aged wood and musty air greeted him, and he couldn't shake the feeling of being watched by unseen eyes. Night after night, Ethan found himself plagued by restless dreams, visions of shadowy figures lurking in the corners of his room, whispering sinister secrets that chilled him to the bone. At first, he brushed them off as mere figments of his imagination, the result of stress and unfamiliar surroundings. But as the days turned into weeks, Ethan's once cheerful demeanor began to wane. Dark circles formed under his eyes, and his classmates whispered of his increasingly errat...
