Sequel stories to “Midnight Walk” and “Held together by a Thread” On a walk at mid-night time, I explored a forest which I used to know, although it had completely changed.

Finally, while gazing at myself in the river from the top of an old but sturdy concrete bridge, I noticed the sun woke up. It was time to go back home. My husband, still affected by his actions during the fight the night before and while haunted by his thin patience, was…

The final bell, a joyful sound, Exam's last page, relief is found. The heavy books are set aside, No more equations to confide. . The frantic cram, the late-night dread, Now banished from our weary head. The summer breeze begins to call, Beyond the classroom's weary wall. . A chapter closed, a season done, Beneath the bright and warming sun.
