A collection of One-shot short stories Current Stories Inside: Story 1: A Lost Paradise --- In the mystical depths of an ancient forest, shielded by powerful magic, lies a hidden community untouched by the outside world's darkness. This seemingly idyllic paradise is sustained by a dark sacrifice-every fifth year, a child born with a mark of darkness must be forsaken to maintain the magic that protects their way of life. As the vibrant colors of the forest dim and mournful melodies replace joyful tunes, the cost of this magic grows too heavy to bear. When Mara, a young mother already burdened by loss, gives birth to her son Amatus on the year of sacrifice, she faces an unbearable choice. Marked by darkness yet perfect in her eyes, Mara sees not a curse but a beloved child whose life is worth more than tradition. Driven by a fierce love and desperate hope, Mara defies centuries of tradition and flees with her son, seeking a life beyond the forest's magical barriers. Her bold escape marks the beginning of change, challenging the fears that have long governed her community and inspiring others who dare to dream of freedom. This poignant tale of maternal love, sacrifice, and the quest for life explores the power of breaking free from oppressive traditions to embrace a future filled with hope.All Rights Reserved
