Dear Mom, we're holed up in an old church now. The bells still ring every hour, though nobody's touched them in weeks. Anderson got hit yesterday - he'll make it, but they're sending him home. The nights are the worst. The waiting. Always the waiting.

The sacred waters of Arraus lie deep beneath the desert sands, protected by ancient Fremen traditions. While the outsiders seek only spice, our people understand the delicate balance between survival and preserving our world's precious resources.

Deep in the Arizona desert, a Special Forces veteran named Shadow prepares for his final mission. The intelligence community thought he retired years ago, but when international terrorists threaten American soil, they're about to discover why his legend never died.

Paris, 1902, a city of secrets and shadows. The Louvre stands silent, its treasures locked away. But something is missing. A painting, the most famous smile in history, vanished without a trace. The guards saw nothing. The police baffled. La Gioconda, gone like a ghost in the night.

I watch the light fade across the floorboards, tracing paths I’ve walked for decades. There’s a weight to the silence here, a heavy collection of moments I let slip away. I suppose some stories are meant to stay quiet, echoing only within these four walls until the very end.
