In a world where women have no rights, two sharply contrasting sisters Serina and Nomi Tessaro face two vastly different, unexpected fates that separate them but are inexplicably twined together.

Long rides in a car, whether it’s in summer or winter, spring, or autumn, with a sibling or without, there are quite a number of things you would require for a journey like this. In my list, dear readers, with an additional bonus, I have included tips to engage yourself when stuck between two age groups, because that’s the unfortunate situation I usually get sandwiched in. Enjoy!

Apples, apples, apple galoreeeeee!

No, I actually despise apples, they’re the one fruit I’ve always refused to eat. However, this ONE, mind you, ONE visit was the first and LAST time I would enjoy apples.

Or maybe I’d return for a teensy bit more…

I always did wonder approximately how old my school was…

Well, I got my answer…with this!

And concluded it was ANCIENT.

Recently, after weeks and weeks of nagging and pestering and arguing, I finally got my parents to agree to go to the zoo. Yes, the zoo. MY MOST TREASURED PLACE IN THE WHOLE WORLD! I absolutely love animals; their adorable little faces and BABY ANIMALS ARE JUST SO CUTEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

So, have you guys ever experienced a blackout?

Well, I’m sure some of you have…

But I hadn’t, for some strange reason, WHICH I WAS PERFECTLY FINE WITH.

Up until 4 days ago, when I experienced my first blackout and power-cut.

So, when we first shifted to our new house, me and my family were pleasantly surprised! “Such a serene place, it’s so beautiful.”, were our exact words. Unlike our older house, there was an air of silence and tranquility, and quite a relaxing atmosphere.

While in Australia, I heard from a friend about the war…waged by helpless animals on baffled citizens.

And the animals were emus.

Ever since we moved, I had been tasked with completing household chores. The umpteen lectures on “responsibility” and “independence” were finally being put into practice. As our new house needed cleaning, and “everyone needed to do their part” (Guess who said THAT☹), I was very unjustly coaxed, convinced, and cajoled into vacuuming with promises of free time soon, which graduated into later, which metamorphosed into the next day, and then I stopped asking altogether.

The two best days of school, the first and the last.

Who would’ve thought? On October 31^st, 2022, I left the school I’d spent 5 years in, with my oldest friends, teachers, and memories.

I would begin a new life in January, not in a new school, but a new country.
