Even though her written test was extremely difficult, Ericka is content as they stroll home in the late afternoon. When Ericka and John arrive at the large river close to the agricultural plantation, it is already dusk. Darwin and his family are inside the car, watching them settle in and rest while taking off their shoes and socks and still hoping to see the brightest stars above the vast, unclouded heavens. “Ericka started to sing, ”Twinkle, twinkle little stars, How I wonder where you are, High and up above the sky, Shining as the brightest star.” John laughs as he remarks on her song's lyrics.

Their glow is taken from them, drained away, and their cries of pain are taken with the little pieces of their soul. They miss their families. Their clutches, their mates. They can feel them out there, searching for them, but they cannot reach them. Some voices are very clear, others are faint as if they have not yet learned how to speak. I listen to those voices, letting them guide me. Down a stairwell. Down. Down. Down. Around a corner. Behind a wall. I hear him, a drake with a voice like the breaking of waves on the beach. He sings of a love so great, so powerful, that he'd do anything to be back with her. He would burn the world down to see her smile again.

But, I was pretty sure I heard someone singing. Wait, a ghost? They said there are a lot of ghosts roaming around the hospitals. Is there a ghost who could sing? Wait, I think I remembered the lyrics. It was a Mayday Parade song. I browsed for my phone and started listening to the song until I found the specific lyrics I heard. I could never imagine we'd end up this way After all that we went through now, I'm fighting through the pain It's like this heart that's been broken so close to screaming

A song echoed down the corridor: "Oh, at the grove, at the Dalvira Nightingale chirping! He is his whole bird The nest is called. Some of them and some of them Nightingale chirping! He has his whole bird The nest is called. Oh, at the grove, at the Dalvira There is music playing. Bass is buzzing, the violin cries My dear is walking. Some of them and some of them There is music playing. Bass is buzzing, the violin cries Nice dear walks Oh, at the grove, at the Dalvira I stand alone. I cry, I'm tired, I still weeping Cute for you Some of them and some of them

Ooh, ooh, ooh, Ooh, ooh, ooh, Kathryn's ears perked up. The strumming of the guitar came along with the voice that started singing. She turned down, noticing small objects from below started lighting up each as the song continued. She glanced around and noticed there were two people at the side of the poolーDavid, the one singing, and Earl, the one strumming the guitar. Behind them was Chad, along with other close friends. The stars that shine in the dark I discovered their meaning last night

Then he looked up. And locked on me. The note he was singing cracked—just a fraction. Enough for the crowd to miss it, but not me. His throat worked. His gaze didn’t waver. Riley noticed. “Holy shit, Lena. Is that…” I didn’t answer. Couldn’t. My heart was trying to climb out of my chest. He finished the song. The crowd cheered. He spoke into the mic, voice rough from the road. “This next one’s new. Wrote it somewhere outside Richmond. It’s called ‘Silent Echoes.’”

He saw the fierce, desperate determination shining in my eyes,the exact same stubbornness I had inherited from him. Casper let out a soft, yielding breath and nodded slowly. "I swear, Miss Jessica. Not a word to your father." "Good," I smiled, a dark, reckless giggle bubbling up in my throat. "Now sit down, grab a mic, and drink with me. We have emotional damage to sing away!" For the next two hours, the private booth turned into a chaotic, messy disaster of sound and sorrow. I kicked off my shoes, grabbed the heavy microphone, and dragged Casper into singing every dramatic, heartbreak-heavy track I could find. When I queued up Burna Boy’s *Gum Body* featuring Jorja Smith, I felt every singl

I turned to him and then hugged him to the side. He continued to sing even though he knew he had no talent there. "Take a little time baby. See the butterflies' colours. Listen to the birds that were sent. To sing for me and you. Can you feel me? This is such a wonderful place to be. Even if there is pain now. Everything will be all right. For as long as the world still turns. There will be night and day. Can you hear me? There's a rainbow always after the rain. "

I could do whatever I wanted with it and fill it with whatever scent I fancied. Before I set my phone to silent mode, a message popped up on the screen. I had edited the sender's information to a string of numbers, and the message consisted only of a short sentence. [Spring is here. The ginkgo tree has blossomed where our baby is]. I deleted the message and did not reply. The pair of baby socks lay quietly on the white cloth beneath the window. I turned off the lights in the living room and entered my bedroom. I had an early morning the next day. I was living my life now, and I planned to live it well.
