This weekend, we have a thought-provoking selection for your reading pleasure. The Story of the Week, titled "Watchers' Walls", is a poignant narrative penned by the talented author, Jessiibear.
In "Watchers' Walls", we meet Elias, a resilient boy who builds a secret fort, "Zone Quiet", in his house as a sanctuary amidst a tense family situation following his father's departure. The story poignantly explores themes of childhood resilience, privacy, and coping with trauma in a domestic space that has become surveilled and emotionally unsafe for Elias. His fort serves as a refuge where he feels unseen and free from the listening walls and the upgraded security systems installed after his father's departure and his mother's distress.
The story has been chosen for its emotional depth and its moving portrayal of human awareness and the longing for safety in one's own space. The narrative's focus on the child's perspective and the use of small details like snacks, a flashlight, and a notebook show the intimate and inventive ways children create refuge from difficult realities.
Alongside the story, we have the Poem of the Week, a profound reflection on the concept of being. The author's identity for this piece is di-hard.
