All The World’s A Stage

They called her the queen of tragedy. Just a slight quiver of her lips and the audience would burst into tears. She ruled every heart in the city. Except the one she wanted to win. Like always, she peeped from behind the curtain. There he sat in the front row, looking as striking as ever….

A Quiet Barn

The quaint countryside was waiting with open arms and blooming flowers. It was eerily silent. The birds weren’t chirping and the pond had no fish. It was strange.

Love For A Lifetime

The ‘no response’ strategy didn’t seem to work as the…
