Passage 1
The wind howled like a pack of wolves, clawing at the old cabin's walls as if desperate to tear it apart. Inside, Sarah sat by the flickering fire, her heart a drumbeat echoing the storm's fury. She clutched her grandmother's locket, a treasure from a time when the world seemed kinder. The locket, engraved with a rose, whispered memories of summers long past -- summers where the sun danced on meadows and laughter was a constant guest. But now, the storm's rage mirrored her own turmoil. She thought of Pandora's box, a story her grandmother once told her, where hope remained even after all evils escaped. Could hope still linger in her heart, or was it lost to the wind's cruel song?
