A Soul-Shaking Poetic Descent
🕯 What if the day you die is the day you finally remember where you came from?
The Frozen Pond is a transpersonal short story told in poetic form—a beautifully written work of lyrical fiction where first love, sudden loss, and spiritual return collide in a single winter afternoon. Narrated by a twelve-year-old boy on the best—and final—day of his life, this story moves from childhood wonder to soul departure, with grief as its guide and light as its destination.
This is not a short story about It’s about what the soul knows… when memory becomes the only language left.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazon Review "A balm for a ravaged heart. In a world, where all things are possible, we can believe in this beautiful afterlife."
