The last rays of the Sun disappeared beneath the breeze kissed water. The Fishermen secured their boats before leaving for the day.

Near him, several people were screaming and calling out the names of their dear ones. But had he ensured that his dear one was safe?

“The best cookies are the ones that melt on your tongue like butter on a hot bread.” – Sahitya recalled the note that came along with the butterscotch cookies on her twentieth birthday. Every year on her birthday, she would receive a basket full of cookies along with a note that shared a secret to baking the best cookies.
