The Moonlight Spark

 



The Moonlight Spark

“The Moonlight Spark” is a poetic and dreamy journey through the night sky, seen through the eyes of a child gazing out their window. As moonlight sparkles and planets swirl, imagination takes flight—leading to a magical adventure across galaxies, wrapped in stardust and wonder. A soothing bedtime tale that reminds us of the beauty in simply looking up and dreaming.


A sparkling ride—I glance out my window.

The Moon stares back at me in the stillness of the night.

Its chalky white glow sends shimmering sparkles straight into my eyes.


The sky is a sea of clouds, full of joy and mystery.

“Glow and wink,” it whispers,

showering me in spells of magical dust.


Tired from the day, I drift into a chilling air journey.

“Wait,” a voice calls. “Come along with me.

I’ll take you to a place where treasures play all day long.”


Up in the sky, I spin peacefully through galaxies glittering with stars.

I meet the nine planets—Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars,

Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune… and yes, even Pluto.


In the vast, beautiful darkness of the universe,

I float on waves of wind and light.

Back and forth, they carry me—

to the Moon…

and finally, back home.


I fall asleep,

dreaming of magical dust and glittering stars.

If you could take a ride across the night sky, where would your dreams carry you?

Beneath the Neem Tree

Beneath the Neem Tree This story is a reflection of a real place—rooted in memory, love, and quiet moments beneath the shade of a tree that stood for generations. The neem tree at the heart of this story was no ordinary tree. It was a well-known, evergreen beauty—gracefully spreading its branches and standing as the tallest tree in the center of our courtyard. Planted by my grandmother’s father-in-law, it became a living witness to family life, childhood joys, and the passage of time. Though the tree is no longer there, its presence lives on in the memories we carry. In the heart of a noisy, fast-growing city stood an old house, and in the middle of its courtyard grew a neem tree—tall, proud, and deeply rooted in both soil and memory. This neem tree wasn’t planted by chance. It was placed there by my grandmother’s father-in-law, many decades ago, with care and intention. Over the years, it grew into something more than just a tree. Its wide branches spread like arms embracing the house...

The Vacant Room

The Vacant Room Intro: Some doors are better left unopened. In this psychological horror short, a girl named Lisa vanishes inside her own home — only to return changed. What happens in the vacant room stays with her… and maybe with you too. When night falls, the house is swallowed by darkness. Lisa, home alone, walks through the quiet halls of the big, echoing home. Every second, the house seems to whisper — floorboards creak, the lights flicker, and the door to the old west wing bangs open and shut on its own. Curiosity outweighs her fear. Lisa walks to the mysterious door. She opens it… and then suddenly, the house shifts. She’s locked inside. The room is cold and bare, its air thick and wrong. A black cat slinks out of the shadows, meowing sharply, its eyes fixed on her like it knows something. Lisa backs into the corner of the vacant room, trembling, unsure of how she got in… or how to get out. She stays there all night, sweating, shivering, waiting for daylight. Bu...
