SYNOPSIS

In the forgotten town, the crumbling Willowridge Orphanage looms, shrouded in a suffocating silence that conceals dark secrets. Among its lost children is Elias, a boy straddling the line between reality and fantasy, drawn to whispers that beckon him from the shadows. As he endures the harshness of Miss Grayson, the tyrannical caretaker, his curiosity leads him to the forbidden garden—a wild, overgrown realm harboring an ancient malevolence eager to ensnare him.

As Elias delves deeper, he becomes entangled in a web of manipulation spun by a restless spirit, promising freedom and revenge.

Eren Nor, wakes up on a school's rooftop with another student named Terry Phaser. They're both suffering from dissociative amnesia, for any information about their friends, family, or personal interests, are completely forgotten.

The school is completely surrounded by an endless white space, with a single radio tower in the distance. They explore the school in hopes of regaining their memories, but it seems that every memory makes them grow farther apart.

This surreal purgatory they are trapped in, starts to become a labyrinth, for rooms start to move around, any attempt to escape leads them back to the roof, and there's something haunting the school hallways.

This story came to me while I was eating in school watching students interact with each other. One student left an empty soda bottle on the table.

This diary reflects the personal journey of someone searching for their place in the world, grappling with exhaustion and uncertainty about the future. Amidst the pressure of studies and career choices, the narrator questions if they are on the right path. The search for identity and purpose becomes a shared experience, capturing inner struggles, solitude, and the need for self-understanding in an uncertain world.

Everyone has a story to tell, made from the moments in the lives we share. Consequently, every person has their own perspective, their own subjective experiences, and thereby, their own subjective realities. Even if the exact same story is told by two people, the details from one will differ in the other.

Reed and Lumina share their lives together, but each of them came from different backgrounds; each of them went through their own unique experiences. Reed is a human being like everyone else on Earth. Lumina is an Altiri, like every one in Genosis. Both are aliens to their own world, and both have seen their own source of immense darkness in their time.

The other side of the same story might sound similar at a quick glance, but in the depths of every personal reality, very little is ever the same. Welcome to the far side of the universe, in a safe corner of the world you've probably heard nothing about. Welcome ~ to Genosis. Welcome ~ to The Other Side.

"THE WEIGHT OF WINGS" is a thought-provoking and imaginative exploration of the human experience.

The language is vivid and expressive, with a unique blend of abstract concepts and tangible imagery. The poem's structure and rhythm add to its emotional impact, creating a sense of urgency and introspection.
