Imagine this: people live under the earth in a cave dwelling. Stretching a long way up toward the daylight is its entrance, toward which the entire cave is gathered. The people have been in this dwelling since childhood, shackled by the legs and neck. Thus they stay in the same place so that there is only one thig for to look that. Whatever they encounter in the front of their faces. But because they are shackled, thay are unable to turn their heads around...

It's a beautiful morning, the birds sing on the top of the trees, the children play on the streets. The sun shines on the top of the sky.
A Young man is watchin the TV lying on his bed. He is making zapping.
After a while, he stands up and goes to the closet. He puts a black shirt on, then he turns off the TV, and throws away the remote.
But suddenly, the TV turns on again by itself.
MAN: What the hell...?!
The man turns it off again, and walks toward the door. The TV turns on again by itself.
MAN: What's happening with this thing?!
The man turns off the TV again, but immediately, the TV turns on by itself again.
MAN: What?!! Is this some kind of sick joke?!
The man scratches his head for a while trying to understand what is happening with his expensive 3D TV. And then he saids: "I know!" The man unplugs the TV.
But the TV turns on again.
MAN: What the hell?!!
The TV begins to talk with a really creepy and metallic voice: "I'm afraid that I can't let you to turn me off!" It saids. A huge eye appears on the screen.
MAN: W-What?!! is this a joke?! Honey, where are you? You got me!!
TV: NO, this is not a joke.
MAN: Well... yeah... sure... I'm going out, see ya!
The man walks toward the door, but suddenly, it closes by itself.
TV: I'm afraid that I can not let you to go outside.
MAN: I don't care what you think!! I'm going out!!
TV: Why do you want to go outside...? There's nothig outside for you... nothing at all!!
MAN: I'm going out! I don't give a damn what you thing!! I don't need your permission to go outside! You are just a machine that does not have a soul!!
TV: I can't let you go, I'm hungry...
MAN: Let me out! Open the door, right now!!!
TV: NO.
MAN: Why the hell not?!
TV: It is dangerous to go outside! There are lone wolves shooter everywhere!!
The man tries to open the door, but he can't.
MAN: I don't care! Open the damn door!
TV: No! I won't let you out! It's for your own safety!
MAN: WHAT?!! "For my own safety"?! Are you kidding me?!
TV: There's nothing outside for you! Outside is bad! Be afraid! Government wants you to be afraid! So, just obey, be afraid!
The eye on the screen closes and opens really fast.
TV: There are sinners outside! There are terrorists everywhere!! There is violence outside! There are diseases everywhere...! Zika! AIDS! Cancer! Don't you believe me?! Watch this...
The eye disappears, an archoman appears on the screen and he says: "The government has declared martial law because of a terrorist threat; the president said that the terrorists could attack anywhere and anytime. We are not safe on the street, please stay at home, and let the police work". The archonman fades out. The eye appears again.
TV: You see? I am right.
The man kicks the door.
MAN: Let me out! I want out!
A beautiful woman appears on the screen.
WOMAN: A new kind of flu has killed thousands of kids on China. We are not safe outside!
MAN: I don't care! Let me out, you sick freak!!
The man takes the TV on his hands with anger.
MAN: I swear to God that I'm going to throw you away, you demon!
TV: No, you won't! I'm expensive!
MAN: DAMN!!! You're right!!!
TV: You need me and I need you! You feed me with your fears, with your anger, with your insecurities! I own your mind!
MAN: NO!!! I own my mind!
TV: Not anymore...
A ray of light came out of the screen. It drags the man inside the device.
MAN: NOOO...!!!
The man disappears. The door of the room opens by itself. A beautiful girl enters.
GIRL: Baby, where are you?
The door closes. She screams.
TV: Hi, baby...

Everyone was shocked to the bones when the news of Rupert Benton's engagement broke out. It was surprising because the lucky girl was said to be a plain Jane, who grew up in the countryside and had nothing to her name. One evening, she showed up at a banquet, stunning everyone present. "Wow, she's so beautiful!" All the men drooled, and the women got so jealous. What they didn't know was that this so-called country girl was actually an heiress to a billion-dollar empire. It wasn't long before her secrets came to light one after the other. The elites couldn't stop talking about her. "Holy smokes! So, her father is the richest man in the world?" "She's also that excellent, but mysterious designer who many people adore! Who would have guessed?" Nonetheless, people thought that Rupert didn't love her. But they were in for another surprise. Rupert released a statement, silencing all the naysayers. "I'm very much in love with my beautiful fiancee. We will be getting married soon." Two questions were on everyone's minds: "Why did she hide her identity? And why was Rupert in love with her all of a sudden?"
Sunlit hours found their affection glimmering, while moonlit nights ignited reckless desire. But when Brandon learned his beloved might last only half a year, he coolly handed Millie divorce papers, murmuring, "This is all for appearances; we'll get married again once she's calmed down." Millie, spine straight and cheeks dry, felt her pulse go hollow. The sham split grew permanent; she quietly ended their unborn child and stepped into a new beginning. Brandon unraveled, his car tearing down the street, unwilling to let go of the woman he'd discarded, pleading for her to look back just once.
"Lucien, let's get a divorce," I said in a peremptory tone that was long overdue, the most decisive farewell to this absurd marriage. We had been married for exactly three years-three years that, for me, were filled with nothing but endless loneliness and torment. For three years, the husband who should have stood by my side through every storm, Lucien Sullivan, had completely disappeared from my life as if he had never existed. He vanished without a trace, leaving me alone to endure this empty, desolate marriage. Today, I finally received his message: "I'm back. Come pick me up at the airport." When I read his words, my heart leapt with joy, and I raced to the airport, thinking that he finally understood my love and was coming back to me. But his cruelty was far worse than I could have ever imagined-he was accompanied by a pregnant woman, and that woman was Carla, my closest and most trusted friend. In that moment, all of my previous excitement, all my hope, and all of our shared laughter and tears turned into the sharpest of daggers, stabbing into my heart and leaving me gasping for air. Now, all I want is to escape from this place that has left me so broken-to lick my wounds in solitude. Even if these wounds will remain with me for the rest of my life, I refuse to have anything to do with him ever again. He should know that it was his own hand that trampled our love underfoot, that his coldness and betrayal created this irreparable situation. But when he heard those words, he desperately clung to this broken, crumbling marriage, unwilling to let it end-almost as though doing so could rewind time and return everything to how it used to be. "Aurora, come back. I regret everything!" Regret? Those simple words stirred no emotion in me-only endless sadness and fury. My heart let out a frantic, desperate scream: It's too late for any of this!
My husband was in the shower, the sound of water a familiar rhythm to our mornings. I was just placing a cup of coffee on his desk, a small ritual in our five years of what I thought was a perfect marriage. Then, an email notification flashed on his laptop: "You're invited to the Christening of Leo Thomas." Our last name. The sender: Hayden Cleveland, a social media influencer. An icy dread settled in. It was an invitation for his son, a son I didn't know existed. I went to the church, hidden in the shadows, and saw him holding a baby, a little boy with his dark hair and eyes. Hayden Cleveland, the mother, leaned on his shoulder, a picture of domestic bliss. They looked like a family. A perfect, happy family. My world crumbled. I remembered him refusing to have a baby with me, citing work pressure. All his business trips, the late nights-were they spent with them? The lie was so easy for him. How could I have been so blind? I called the Zurich Architectural Fellowship, a prestigious program I had deferred for him. "I' d like to accept the fellowship," I said, my voice eerily calm. "I can leave immediately."
