Cassandra thought she was just sitting through another boring class-until one smile changed everything. What begins as laughter and nicknames soon turns into something deeper, darker, and unforgettable. Not all love stories are fairy tales. Some teach you what it costs to give your heart away. A literary coming-of-age short story drama about love, loss, and learning when to stop kneeling for what was never yours.

People say that love is the most beautiful emotion one can ever feel . So I depicted a piece to express my pov on love. This is neither story nor poetry but something that will speak to your heart , this is metaphorical, yet it has an universal journey of being in love and never letting go. If you love depth then this short piece is for you .

The Dreamer awakes, the shadow goes by; the tale I have told you, that tale is a lie... Portals to magical worlds, corvids that speak the meaning of life, and more await one who sits and listens to this sharing of tales between two anachronistic raconteurs, one of whom may or may not be Geoffrey Chaucer. Reader, remember this: the tales are pure fictions. Fantasies. Except when they are not.
