A little girl grows up with nothing but a love for birds. All she has ever wanted was to be among them, high up in the sky. She believes that she found the way to do this, but begins to question herself while traveling for work. She questions whether or not she found a true way to be among them, or if she's been fooling herself; is she actually happy with the so-called life she's built for herself? Join Josephine in her journey to answer this question and many more.
This story is dedicated to my college roommate Mariah.

Beneath Silent Eyes
A man wanders alone, lost in both time and thought in the quiet solitude of a vast forest. Under a watchful gaze, he confronts the fragmented memories of his past; his regrets, his joys, and the weight of a life lived. He relives moments of love, parenthood, and missed opportunities and finds himself reflecting on those moments of his life that consume him. This novella explores the nature of reflection, the human struggle to make peace with the self, and the choices that shape us through rich allegory and profound introspection. With stunning imagery and a narrative that invites readers to reflect on their own lives, this is a meditation on the burdens we carry and the paths we ultimately choose to walk. - - - 2025 Amby's Favorite under the title 'The Owl' Winner of the 2025 March Writer's Crown from the Watthub Community ATTENTION: I OWN ALL RIGHTS TO THIS STORY (including the book cover) - DO NOT use without permission or legal action will be taken © 2024 DuckyandtheNutComplete
