A World That Refused to Die

Ishwar Singh

Sinossi

This is not a story about saving the world.It is a story about a world that refused to die.For a long time, we have comforted ourselves with the belief that nature is fragile—something that exists at our mercy, waiting either to be protected or destroyed by human hands. We speak of the Earth as though it were a patient on a hospital bed, dependent on our decisions, our technologies, our promises.But the truth is far less flattering—and far more humbling.Nature has always been resilient. It has survived fire, flood, ice, and extinction long before human beings learned to name themselves. What it struggles to survive is not humanity itself, but human arrogance—the idea that we stand apart from the land we walk on, the water we drink, the air we breathe.A World That Refused to Die was born from that realization.This story does not offer easy villains or simple victories. It does not pretend that awareness alone can heal what has been damaged, nor that progress is inherently evil. Instead, it explores the quieter, more uncomfortable truth: that destruction often happens not through cruelty, but through convenience; not through hatred, but through indifference.The characters in these pages do not become heroes by conquering nature. They become human by listening to it—by learning when to act, and when to step back. Their journey mirrors a question we all face, whether we acknowledge it or not: Can we learn to belong again, before it is too late?This book is an invitation—not to panic, not to despair, and not to celebrate premature victories—but to reflect. To notice the silences we have grown used to. To question the comforts we mistake for progress. And to recognize that the Earth does not need grand gestures as much as it needs everyday humility.If there is hope in this story, it lies not in humanity’s power, but in its capacity to learn.The world has endured.The question that remains is whether we are willing to change enough to endure with it.

With lyrical charm and heartfelt rhymes, this story celebrates every child’s journey toward self-expression, kindness, and connection. It’s a gentle reminder that even the softest voice has the power to rise, and that sometimes, even the hardest hearts, like Hank’s, can bloom with friendship.

“My purpose, and the intention behind my books, is to guide others from the very beginning to look within themselves and embrace their unique selves and authenticity. We need to become aware and reflect on our own inner child and heal ourselves in order to raise our next generation with love, free of our expectations and demands of society. When we do this, we break free from the chains of our own upbringing and societal programming allowing our children to become their authentic selves unapologetically, and we as parents find who we truly are among the process.”

The Moonlit Road

Ambrose Bierce

The Moonlit Road by Ambrose Bierce - A sordid tale of jealousy and murder. He suspected his wife was having an affair and unleashed a plan to discover the truth. Would the truth destroy his family and lead him down the path to insanity?
I am the most unfortunate of men. Rich, respected, fairly well educated and of sound health—with many other advantages usually valued by those having them and coveted by those who have them not—I sometimes think that I should be less unhappy if they had been denied me, for then the contrast between my outer and my inner life would not be continually demanding a painful attention. In the stress of privation and the need of effort I might sometimes forget the somber secret ever baffling the conjecture that it compels.
I am the only child of Joel and Julia Hetman. The one was a well-to-do country gentleman, the other a beautiful and accomplished woman to whom he was passionately attached with what I now know to have been a jealous and exacting devotion. The family home was a few miles from Nashville, Tennessee, a large, irregularly built dwelling of no particular order of architecture, a little way off the road, in a park of trees and shrubbery.
At the time of which I write I was nineteen years old, a student at Yale. One day I received a telegram from my father of such urgency that in compliance with its unexplained demand I left at once for home. At the railway station in Nashville a distant relative awaited me to apprise me of the reason for my recall: my mother had been barbarously murdered—why and by whom none could conjecture, but the circumstances were these:
My father had gone to Nashville, intending to return the next afternoon. Something prevented his accomplishing the business in hand, so he returned on the same night, arriving just before the dawn.
