“Did I Not Climb Up The Stairs?”

“Did I Not Climb Up The Stairs?”   After a sudden injury leaves her unable to walk, Beth finds herself trapped downstairs in her own home—alone, in pain, and cut off from the outside world. As time stretches and fear quietly builds, even the simplest task—climbing the stairs—turns into a test of strength, endurance, and willpower. Beth had always been fast. On the soccer field, she moved like the wind—light, confident, unstoppable. Running wasn’t something she thought about. It was just something her body knew how to do. Until the day it didn’t. It happened in a second. One wrong step, one sharp twist, and suddenly she was on the ground, clutching her ankle as pain shot through her leg. The game continued around her, voices blurred, but all she could feel was that burning, pulsing pain. By the time she made it home, she could barely walk. Her room was upstairs. That simple fact now felt like a wall she couldn’t climb. Beth stood at the bottom of the staircase, staring...

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?

Lost and Found: A Twin’s Journey Twin sisters torn apart by betrayal and fate find their way back to each other through unexpected twists and the kindness of a stranger.

Though they studied at the same college and shared the same classes, their personalities were different. Hannah was bold, adventurous, and eager to trust people.

But the sun set, and Hannah didn’t come home. Night deepened, and her phone went straight to voicemail. By morning, worry had turned into fear. Kathy was facing her own nightmare. That same ...
