Short Story: The Masquerade of Hearts
Every face wears a mask.
Every smile hides a frown.
Every heart has a choice.
They were told to know themselves.
But how do you find the truth when everyone is wearing a lie?
In school, the prettiest masks hide the deepest wounds.
And the hardest part of the masquerade is not the dance.
It's the moment where you have to take it off.
