The Journey of a Novice
Adventure The town of Willowbrook had always been a place of quiet charm-a world untouched by the rush of modernity. Nestled between rolling hills and dense, whispering forests, it was a town where time moved gently, and life followed the rhythm of the seasons.
Emily had known Willowbrook all her life. She had grown up wandering its cobbled streets, listening to the hum of the marketplace, and watching the same sun dip behind the hills each evening. The scent of fresh-baked bread from the bakery, the distant laughter of children playing near the old oak tree, the familiar sight of Mrs. Alden sweeping her front porch at precisely seven every morning-these were the things she had known since childhood.
And yet, despite the warmth of familiarity, something deep inside her yearned for more.
Emily had always felt like an outsider in her own home-a dreamer among those content with ordinary lives. The world outside Willowbrook called to her in ways she couldn't explain. It was a whisper in the wind, a tug at her heart, a force she could no longer ignore.
And so, she had made her decision.
This was the morning she would leave. You might like
Pucked by Alphas: The Omega Hockey Tomboy
Universeleap Antalya disguised herself as a boy to escape an unwanted fate. He fell for her deception. But when secrets surface, the real challenge begins.
To avoid a forced marriage to the ruthless Alpha Dominic Alfonso, Antalya Lucas made a desperate choice-she cut her hair, disguised herself as "Lance," and enrolled at the exclusive all-male Alpha Academy. Hidden among the hockey team, she thought she could finally disappear.
But maintaining her cover proves harder than expected.
"You flinch every time I undress, Lance," her roommate Raymond Alfonso teases, cornering her against the locker. "You sure you're not hiding something under all that attitude?" His knowing glances and probing questions make her wonder if her secret is safe-especially since he's Dominic's own brother.
Meanwhile, Dominic refuses to give up his search. "You think I won't find you, even with all your tricks?" he growls during one terrifying encounter. "You're mine. You can run, little rabbit, but I'll always catch you."
Caught between two dangerous Alphas-one who suspects her true identity and one who's hunting her relentlessly-Antalya walks a precarious line. She sought freedom but found herself trapped in an even more complicated web of deception and desire.
When the ice begins to crack and her carefully constructed lies start to crumble, she'll face an impossible choice: keep running from her past or confront the two men who could either destroy her or claim her completely.
"Run all you want," comes the whispered promise, "but when I catch you... I'm not letting go."
Wake Up, Dream Boy!
Mr. Ben Having some of the poems in the first edition of the poem collection, ‘The P.O.T (Poured Out Thoughts)’ published in several poetry magazines as High On Poems, Earthborne Magazine, Deadsnakes and so on, the author has ushered in the second, titled ‘The P.O.T (Poured Out Thoughts) ---The Reloaded.
It is said to be ‘reloaded’ because there are other poems to be added to make this edition slightly richer than the first. With poems as ‘Out of the Box’, ‘Dad Loves Me’, ‘Heralding God’s Magnificence’ being published in notable poetry journals and magazines, the sequel is hoped to make an impact to the entire world, beginning with the readers.
The Table of Contents has the additional poems that readers, who have read the first edition, would realize. They are intended to look into general issues, family, gender, parental, religious (Christian faith), children, love and personal/motivational.
The aim behind this piece is simple. As said in the first edition, it is about entertaining, enlightening, inspiring or motivating and enabling people think for themselves.
Worthy of Note: The author believes that subsequent edition(s) of the work would carry the above-stated aim.
