Assalamualaikum Everyone.
This is @sohag10 from #Bangladesh.

The rain showed no signs of letting up. The city moved about quietly, cloaked beneath thick clouds, and every street echoed a sense of solitude. Zany clutched his hood tightly, feeling the chill—more from the cold than from the emptiness within him and the unusual loneliness of time.

Then, out of nowhere, a small dragon appeared before him. It didn't look like a typical dragon but resembled a vibrant little creature. He paused to ponder the significance of this sight.

This small being standing by the pond felt like something out of a fantasy—a lively, colorful dragon. A different sensation began to emerge within him, stirring his emotions.

Could this be real? Zany stared in astonishment.

His throat went dry as confusion washed over him. Yet, alongside this confusion, another feeling started to surface.

The dragon slowly moved closer, revealing its bright colors, and it felt as if a new wonder was unfolding before him.

The vibrant colors of the city seemed to flow toward him, shifting his perspective in an instant.

The dragon approached him, and Zany looked at it for a while, sensing this was a pivotal moment.

As he walked along, Zany dared to ask the dragon if it was happy. It felt as though they were forging a unique bond. The dragon smiled gently and shook its head, conveying its feelings.

Zany confessed, "I haven't felt happy in a long time. It's as if joy has vanished from my life," his hidden troubles spilling out in his words.

The dragon gazed at him and replied, "No one can truly do anything without emotions. I'm here to guide you. I will remain with you for a while, but eventually, I must continue my journey."

In that moment, the dragon halted before old turn along the road. Understanding dawned on Zany, feeling as if this was a significant encounter. The dragon's light began to diminish, signaling it might leave him soon.

He cried out, feeling the weight of goodbye approaching.

These moments of connection can bring life to our emotions."

Before long, the dragon transformed into light and entered Zany. In an instant, the city burst into vibrant colors before his eyes, filling his heart with joy.

Entering this colorful path, Zany felt the evening settle in. It felt like an entirely new experience, with a peculiar pink light illuminating the rain-soaked city.

It was a pathway of color unlike any he'd seen. As evening fell, Zany whispered, "Life has always been vibrant; I can never forget that. I've learned to see and appreciate it." Thus, Zany began a new chapter in his life.

I invite @mahmud552 @frafiomatale @abdulmomin to participate in the competition. I hope you will participate in the competition and make it more beautiful.

God is Hafez.
