Through the eyes of a boy

Sometimes i wish i knew what was changing around me- and sometimes it's the world that speaks its name so i could lick it on my lips.

The sun has darkened. The trees and grasses are no longer green. The rivers have turned to dust and the things that live within its ever changing decay have ceased to shed its colour.

Yet when i open my eyes and let the flickering light inhale them and reveal its truths to me. I realise it's not the world that changes- but lies to me...so that i may change forevermore.

Zahri is a 16 year old boy that has been living in a semi-secluded village for the last 3 years, trying to live life the right way. In the few moments that he believes he's accustomed to the village life, the local florist he'd befriended suddenly dies of unknown circumstances and it is rumored to be a murder. To honor a peculiar woman he un-admittedly didn't know much about, he ventures to figure out the truth and balance his own well being,once he finds her seemingly out-of-nowhere journal.
