By Cia
It is said that at the end of this month the veil thins and a reunion of sorts can happen between souls and those they leave behind. What about reunions of a different sort and people that get left behind in our lives? Can those reconnections be made again? Length: 3,756 Description: Two best friends. Ten years of lies.

"Descry" means to catch sight of something distant, obscured, or difficult to see. In storytelling, it is a powerful linguistic tool that goes far beyond simple looking; it signals a moment of discovery, perception and revelation that changes a character trajectory. Here is why using "descry" (and the action it represents) is important in storytelling: It Signals a Turning Point: Characters do not just "descry" everyday objects; they descry something unexpected or hidden.

i feel better these days. I find that I am able to get things done. We have been doing a bit of Swedish death cleaning, which is rather freeing. Clutter in the house makes me anxious.
