Refuge in the Wind

A warm glow emanated from the crackling fireplace, casting flickering shadows on the welcoming furniture. A soft rain fell steadily against the roof, a melody that soothed the soul. This was a true oasis, a place of tranquility in the midst of the storm. It was a place where one could retreat from the world and find peace.
Anchors and Soaring
