The passion for her art
After several hours of painting, she realizes that the result is really good, the work transmits solitude, peace, beauty, depth, strength.
She feels overwhelmed by all the feelings it gives her, but she also feels that a weight has been lifted from her shoulders, so she goes to sleep and surprisingly manages to fall asleep for the rest of the night.-

" Do you think it is still there?!", Caeser said with so much excitement.
"Of course! No one knows about our secret hideout Ceez, not even god", James who had grown rather pessimistic replied and they both laughed.
As they'd expected, the cave was still there in all it's glory. Everything was still as they'd hoped it would be, the magical blue of the cave, with ancient carvings and picturesque walls, clearly no one else knew of this place. They played for hours and Caeser finally decided it was time for them to leave, he had to be home before midnight to avoid any outburst from his frequently drunken father.-

"What did you wish for?"
"If I tell you, it wouldn't come true now would it"
"I thought you didn't believe in these things"
"But you do so I believe it a little".
She had the prettiest smile, the finest I had ever seen. There was something different about her, maybe it was the way the moon light touched parts of her skin or the way the air poured are scent all over the field.-

Do you need a hand?" A strangely familiar voice rang loudly from afar.
"Yes, thank you!" Maria responded while evaluating the situation and trying hard to remember where she had heard his voice before. The confident steps and chiseled face drew nearer. Maria was now certain that she had met this man before, but she still couldn't pin down exactly where.
"Eric? Is that you?" Maria exclaimed.
"Maria? What a coincidence."

The Midnight Run And Then The Water Spoke
Opening the back door which I had always used as my escape route to the woods, I barged into the kitchen and was about to dash up the stairs when I heard a voice speaking and another crying.
Moving as quietly as I could with my heart racing, I moved and then stopped, seeing what is being displayed, tears poured out again, and I covered my hands with my mouth to stop the choking sound.
Just then a figure stood up and came closer to me and then I saw light in her eyes.-

My youthful remembrance
Author's image
Not too much time was taken for us to arrive at the hotel, and as the clock went off, we quickly got back to our own chambers and changed clothes. Sun settled down behind the Langbiang mountain range, air was less condensed since we stood higher. We had an appointment with the ethnic minority there, to drink Can alcohol and eat roasted meat, then we would dance with those hospitable people. I still can not forget how my eyes were searching for him amongst the grand cave lightened up by torches, he was sitting with his friends and sometimes our eyes met slightly which was so enough to make me shy.-
