Post Age 14 Published May 22, 2021 by Susana Martinez-Conde

Fire engulfs everything. Everything becomes fire. Chaos rains down from the sky.

A New Beginning, a poem by Aditi, 12

Post Published May 20, 2021 by Stone Soup Editors

A New Beginning by Aditi Nair, 12 Sitting. Crunching. Staring. Glaring. The sun gently embraced the horizon to meet the sky. Colors dance and sing before the early bird rises. Beep, Beep.
