The City's Concrete Embrace
Life pulsates in the bustle of a concrete jungle. Towering skyscrapers pierce the haze-filled prison sky, throwing long silhouettes as the artificial lights sets. A cacophony of melodies fills the air - the roar of traffic, the murmurs of crowds, and the pulsating beat of urban life. {Yet|Despite this|, amidst this concrete landscape, pockets of green persist. Parks become refuges, offering a momentary respite from the pressure of the city.
The Walls Have Ears
In every creaking floorboard and hidden alcove, the walls observe. They hold the stories whispered in hushed tones, the laughter exchanged, and the darkest desires uttered in private moments.

- Ghosts of my old days flickered like distant stars.
- Hope still burned within me, a light in the shadows.
- I yearned for the day when I could return from this prison.
A Soul's Worth
Redemption is a powerful concept, one that whispers to the depths of our being. We crave it, this opportunity to compensate the errors of our past. Yet, redemption often comes at a hefty price. It requires a burden that can shatter our foundations. The path to cleansing is rarely easy.
- Several will find their trials are beyond their reach
