The Urban Beton Beast
Life blossoms in the bustle of a concrete jungle. Towering skyscrapers pierce the haze-filled sky, throwing long shadows as the moon sets. A cacophony of melodies fills the air - the blare of traffic, the shouts of crowds, prison and the rhythmic beat of urban life. {Yet|Despite this|, amidst this concrete landscape, pockets of green persist. Parks become refuges, offering a momentary respite from the heat of the city.
The Walls Have Ears
In every creaking floorboard and hidden alcove, the walls listen. They hold the stories whispered in hushed tones, the laughter celebrated, and the secrets uttered in desperation.

- Ghosts of my old days flickered like faint lights.
- A glimmer still burned within me, a guide in the gloom.
- I yearned for the moment when I could be free from this cage.
