Withered sad faces whose golden future is written in black ink. They are imprisoned in dark chambers, floating in the sea.
There are no goals or expectations, just an infinite sorrow and and huge emptiness. Then a small spark burns and dispels the darkness, The rebellion of a ten-year-old girl spreads light all around.

LHS Class of 01 Reunion '21
Joan, remembering the campus cafeteria’s infamous pizza nights, added, “Don’t forget the comfort foods—maybe a nostalgic ‘pizza and soda’ station for the younger crowd who remembers those late‑night study sessions.” Megan, always mindful of inclusivity, reminded them to consider vegetarian, vegan, and gluten‑free options, proposing a “food‑style” approach where several stations offered varied cuisines, from Mediterranean mezze to classic Southern barbecue, ensuring everyone could find something they enjoyed. Valerie, drawing on her recent research, offered to circulate a short pre‑event survey to gauge dietary preferences, promising to compile the data into a concise report that the catering team could use to tailor their menu. The conversation flowed from one gastronomic idea to another, weaving in considerations for sustainable sourcing, budget constraints, and the potential for a signature cocktail named after their graduating year, a playful nod that would likely become a conversation starter at the event.

12 Life Lessons The Golden Girls Taught Us
Picture it: Miami, 1985. Four middle-aged actresses agree to play the characters of Blanche, Rose, Dorothy, and Sophia who share a home in a TV sitcom called The Golden Girls, unaware at the time of the kind of impact the show would leave on its adoring fans. The show aired until 1992, ending with a one-season spinoff called Golden Palace. The seven years we were graced with The Golden Girls on our television screens made its mark. More than three decades after Susan Harris’ imagination sparked the creation of these iconic characters, fans from around the world still watch reruns of The Golden Girls, spend time discussing the show on social media in Facebook groups like The Golden Girls Fanatics, carry Sophia-inspired handbags and relate to the episodes in their daily lives.

wonderfully written story, would have wished a part two of this...couldn't stop reading well done
Superb! Sk. This poem beautifully turns inner turmoil into serene release, with vivid imagery that tempts the soul to embrace stillness and surrender.
Whoaaaa, so poignant and profound. Loved it!
After Shakespeare and Rick Riordan, you are my favorite author, SK! By the way, did you comment on my recent poem? It's not visible, but the notification says otherwise.
This story reflects a contrast between despair and hope. The humans imprisoned in the dark and floating with misery show strong imagery of lost hope. The 10-year-old girl shows that even in the darkest and deepest grounded piles of melancholy there lies hope and shine. Well written brother, 53 words are truly amazing. 👌🙌
