The Urban Beton Beast

A cacophony of noises fills the air - the honking of traffic, the shouts of crowds, and the constant beat of urban life. {Yet|Despite this|, amidst this concrete landscape, pockets of life persist. Parks become refuges, offering a momentary respite from the intensity of the city.
The Walls Have Ears

Time Out: A Life

- Memories of my old days flickered like faint lights.
- A spark still burned within me, a light in the gloom.
- I yearned for the day when I could return from this confines.
The Cost of Redemption
