Alice

Intro The city pulsed with life, a symphony of sounds and lights, as Alice stood at the bus stop, her headphones a shield against the world. The gentle strumming of her favorite song wrapped her in a cocoon of calm, until rough laughter shattered the peace. A group of troublemakers appeared, their eyes gleaming with malice as they snatched her earphones away. Her heart raced, but before anger could take hold, a voice cut through the air, steady and unyielding. ‘Hey, leave her alone.’ The man who spoke was a stranger, yet his tone carried the weight of someone who refused to be ignored. The bullies faltered, their sneers fading as they faced his unwavering gaze. Alice’s breath caught as she took in the sight of her unexpected savior. His presence was magnetic, a blend of mystery and quiet strength that drew her in. In the aftermath of the confrontation, a silent understanding passed between them, a connection forged in the heat of the moment. As the city buzzed around them, Alice couldn’t shake the feeling that this encounter was the start of something new, something that would change the course of her life.
