"Sanctuary in the Pages: Mira's Journey Between Worlds"
"A Short narrative story about a girl who does her best to escape the harsh reality through reading books"
Made by:worldussysblog and Htsbr25
Mira was curled up on her bed , the world outside her room was a distant hum. On her lap rests her favorite book that she often used to escape the harsh reality , the scent of an aged paper and it's ink had filled the air inside her small room. As she flipped through the pages of the book , she had found solace in the stories that had fueled her imaginations further more. Through reading stories , she was not Mira , the girl who often woke up with an impending doom , worrying too much and who has a little hope in life, rather she was Mira — a brave heroine , who fought dragons , sailing across the seven seas and discovering more strange hidden worlds.
The more she kept on reading , the more the lines and barriers between reality and fantasy collide and soon fades on the background— as she was too immerse on the story she was reading. Her dull eyes and the ache she felt on her heart each day on her life faded with each turn of the page, it was replaced by the vivid colors of far-away lands and the warmth and affections of the characters who understood her in the ways no one ever could— Not even her own parents . Here, she was strong , brave , loved by many and mostly importantly, here she felt safe.
Alas , all good things had come to an end , as Mira neared the last page of the book , a cold dread crept in and the dull ache on her heart had slowly return. She knew ,she would have to close the book soon and return to the harsh world she had desperately tried to escape. But for now, she had clung to the empty words , letting them be her refuge , her escape from a reality too hard to face.
