    The Missing Room by Lynn Venable - It was a dream house; yet the dream could have been a nightmare... 
From the low cruising helicar, the cottage appeared charming. Lorinda gave a little exclamation of delight and exclaimed breathlessly, "Oh, that one, Dyke. Please, we must look at that one.” 
The helicar was only about a hundred feet from the ground, and they could easily see the "For Sale” sign on the green lawn. Dyke guided the helicar down onto the landing strip beside the attached copterport. The cottage certainly had the most modern conveniences. 
They stepped out, Dyke assisting Lorinda from the helicar with all the self-conscious solicitude of a brand new husband. They stood for a moment on the neat little postage stamp of a lawn, arm in arm. 
The cottage was different from the others on the block, it was similar in its contemporary design, its just-for-two smallness, but still, it was different. It seemed to radiate charm out of all proportion to its physical aspects, as sometimes a relatively unattractive person will, for no reason you can put your finger on, be utterly irresistible. 
"I wonder if it’s open?” asked Lorinda. "There’s one way to find out,” answered Dyke. After a token rap on the door, he twisted the knob. The door opened quietly inward. 
"Oh, Dyke, should we?’’

    Long ago, before shimmering cities and humming machines, there was water. It flowed in rivers, danced in the rain, and filled the oceans—a silent, steady force that carried life in every droplet. For centuries, humanity has respected this precious gift, but as time passed, it was forgotten. The rivers grew polluted, the lakes dried up, and the rain became a rare visitor. Then, one day, something unimaginable happened: the water began to disappear. In "The Day Water Vanished: A Drop of Life," embark on a poignant journey to a world where the most essential element vanishes. Witness the Earth’s quiet sorrow as her rivers slow to a trickle, her lakes vanish, and even the vast oceans retreat. Follow the plight of a little fish struggling in a polluted river, the thirst of animals in dry fields, and the confusion of people as their faucets run dry. But this is not just a story of loss—it’s a story of rediscovery. It’s about remembering the first drop of water that touched the Earth, bringing life to a barren world. It’s about understanding the interconnectedness of all living things and the vital role water plays in our existence. And it’s about a promise: a promise to cherish this gift, to share it with every creature, and to ensure that this never happens again. "The Day Water Vanished" is a timeless fable that resonates with readers of all ages. It’s a gentle reminder of the profound importance of water and a powerful call to action. Join the journey, learn the Earth’s lesson of love and respect, and discover how, together, we can keep the flow of life alive.
