    The Firefly Letters

    May 30, 2025 - By 

    Shreya Gupta The attic was a treasure trove of memories. Dust particles danced in the sunlight filtering through the small window. Emma opened an old box labeled “Summer 2010” and smiled as she sifted through its contents. Amidst the photographs and trinkets, a familiar shape caught her eye. A paper plane, slightly crumpled but intact. Unfolding it carefully, she read the faded words: “No matter where we go, we’ll always have this.” Her heart skipped a beat. Memories of lazy summer days, laughter, and whispered secrets under the old oak tree flooded back. “Jake,” she whispered. — Willow Creek was…
