The city I knew, the one my children chased pigeons in and learned to ride bikes on, is gone. War, a cruel sculptor, has reshaped its once vibrant streets into a desolate landscape of twisted metal and shattered dreams.exclamation Buildings that held laughter and the scent of baking bread now stand as hollow shells, their windows vacant eyes staring back at a ravaged sky. Memories, too, lie fractured beneath the rubble. Gone are the echoes of children's games played in sun-dappled courtyards, replaced by the relentless thud of shelling. The familiar scent of jasmine, once a signature note in the summer air, is now tainted by the acrid tang of destruction. Each corner used to hold a story - the bakery where my daughter devoured warm croissants, the park bench where my son scraped his knee for the first time. Now, these fragments of our lives exist only in the fragile museum of my mind, a place where the war cannot reach, but still manages to cast a long shadow. Yet, amidst the wreckage, a flicker of hope remains. Like fragile wildflowers pushing through cracked concrete, the resilience of the human spirit endures. We, the survivors, carry the weight of this loss, but also the fierce love for our children and the yearning to rebuild. We will gather the shards of our memories, piece by broken piece, and weave them into a tapestry of a new future, one where laughter finds its voice again and our children can dream safe dreams, free from the haunting echoes of war

Writing Notes: Types of Plot Twists

7 Types of Plot Twists

Anagnorisis

Means "discovery."

This type of plot twist is when the protagonist suddenly recognizes something about his or herself or another character.

Deus ex machina

Latin for "God out of the machine,"

Deus ex machina means the introduction of an unexpected event or person that solves the problem.

Because it's artificial, it's rarely used in modern fiction.

False protagonist

The main character is not the true main character.

He or she is killed off early or unexpectedly.

Peripeteia

Means a reversal of fortune, typically from good to bad.

The opposite of peripeteia is eucatastrophe, where things elevate from bad (very bad) to good.

Poetic justice

Occurs when a character is rewarded (or punished) for their actions.

Poetic justice is often used to deliver sweet payback to a villain.

Red herring

The red herring plot twist is all about misdirection.

The reader is following a false direction but doesn't realize it until it's revealed.

Unreliable narrator

The unreliable narrator is someone who seems believable and trustworthy at first, but after a startling revelation, is revealed to be untruthful.

Gu Juisi and his cute expressions

The only person I know who can play with me on equal footing is Pei Wenxuan. Our matches are thrilling. Others aren't as skillful as him, and Su Rongqing always let me win on purpose. But Pei Wenxuan, that rascal, is bold and fierce.

Still a baby. You grew up well

'I'll be gone in a month', you thought.

And it made you really terrified. You're still young and there's so much more you wanted to do. So you tried to avoid it- anything that you thought dangerous, you completely stopped doing it.

You stopped climbing up stools to take plates from higher cabinets because you afraid you'll fall. You started to be really anxious to cross the road because you're afraid to be hit by a car. You're extremely careful when walking down the streets so nothing like a flower pot would hit your head. You asked your friends to taste you food first before you eat to make sure it was not poisoned. You took every precaution you could.

You don't want to die yet. You can't die yet.

But every single day when you look through the mirror, it's empty. No matter how safe you were, it remained empty.

Until one day, you're all curled up in your blankets, fidgetting and bitting you finger nails as you're anxious because a month had passed, someone entered your apartment.

Quickly you stood up and reached for the nearest vase you saw just in case.

"Woah there, there's no need to be so violent", the uninvited guest smirked. "I mean no harm."

He handed you a glowing pendant. Warily, you took the pendant and asked,

"Who are you? What's this?"

Instead of answering, he showed a mirror in front of your face.

There it is, your reflection. You can finally see your reflection back. You smiled and screamed in joy.

"H...how? Why?", you managed to stammer although you're already speechless.

"Because you're a witch", he replied.

Then you knew that you're not a simple human but a species of immortal witch. Before being immortal, your reflection will disappear for some time- as for your case, a month.

Your reflection became normal- the mirror no longer showed your reflection a month after. And you're also able to see the future through the mirror.

-this just came to my mind and pardon me for my bad English.

From a young age, you realized the mirrors never showed your reflection; they showed you how you’ll look in a month. One day, your reflection is gone.
