One day, a generous king decided to give away one of his prized possessions. He called for all of his subjects to come to the palace to receive his gift. As each person came forward, the king asked them what they needed most. Some asked for money, others for food, and still others for new clothes. No matter what they asked for, the king was more than happy to give it to them. In the end, the king had given away everything he owned, but he was content knowing that he had helped make everyone’s life a little bit better.

When fear Comes Calling
The night was dark and stormy, and the old house creaked and groaned in the wind. Mary had always been afraid of this house, and tonight it seemed even more sinister than usual. She had been babysitting for the night, and the children were asleep upstairs. Suddenly, she heard a noise downstairs, and she was frozen with fear. Was someone in the house with her?
Slowly, she crept down the stairs, her heart pounding in her chest. When she reached the bottom, she saw a figure in the shadows. She screamed, and the figure came towards her, grabbing her arm. She struggled to free herself, but it was no use. The figure laughed, a chilling sound that sent shivers down her spine.
This was her worst nightmare come true. She was being terrorized by a horror movie monster come to life. She tried to scream again, but the only sound that came out was a sob. The figure seemed to enjoy her terror, and it kept coming closer, until its face was inches from hers. She could see the cold, dead eyes, and the mouth that was open in a gruesome grin. She was paralyzed with fear.
The figure was just a shadow, and Mary breathed a sigh of relief. She was just being paranoid. The wind was probably just creaking the house. She went back upstairs and continued to babysit the children for the rest of the night.

The next day, she went to the baby’s house to drop off the blanket. But when she got there, she saw that the baby had already been cast out! She was so heartbroken. She didn’t know what to do.
She decided to knit another blanket, and this time she would make sure that the baby was never cold again. She worked day and night, and finally finished the blanket.

#MVB-Fate
All because of a little fate
we met and now we’re on a date
I can’t help but wonder if this is meant to be
or if our time will just fade away
Only time will tell us what is in store
but for now, I’m just happy to be here with you
So let’s enjoy every moment
and not worry about what tomorrow may bring
After all, we’re both victims of fate
and whatever our destiny may be,
we’ll face it together, come what may.

A deadly Swerve

In the early hours of the morning, a solitary car makes its way down a dark and empty highway. The only sound is the faint hum of the engine and the crunch of gravel beneath the tires. Suddenly, the silence is shattered by the sound of a gunshot. The car swerves off the road and into a ditch. The driver is dead, shot through the head.
The police are called to the scene and begin their investigation. They soon discover that the victim was a woman who worked as a prostitute. It doesn’t take long for them to identify the killer as her pimp. He is arrested and charged with her murder.
This case highlights the dangers faced by women who work in the sex industry. Prostitutes are often targets for violence and exploitation. They are also at risk of being killed by their own pimps, who see them as nothing more than property. This case is a tragic example of the dark reality of life on the highway.

#Ragtag Daily Prompt-Vanish
The Murdered Woman In The Alleyway
In the early hours of the morning, a woman is found brutally murdered in an alleyway in downtown Los Angeles. The only witness to the crime is a homeless man who claims to have seen the victim’s ghost vanish into thin air.
The police are skeptical of the homeless man’s story, but with no other leads, they are forced to investigate his claims. What they discover is that the victim was involved in a secret government experiment called “vanish,” which was designed to create invisibility.
As the police try to piece together what happened, they come up against a wall of secrecy and lies. The only thing that is clear is that the victim was killed because she knew too much.
If the police can’t crack the case, the killer will vanish into the night, never to be seen again.
The police eventually catch the killer. The killer is brought to justice and the victim’s family is given closure.
