I seldom venture outside, save for my daily journey to school. Most of my days are spent within the confines of my home, engrossed in my studies. On days when concentration eludes me, I turn to self-motivation books, seeking solace and inspiration from their pages.

Today marked a departure from routine. Mounting my bicycle, I decided to visit the source of the elusive candlelight that had piqued my curiosity. As I neared the building from which the light emanated, I noticed no signs of life. To my surprise, what appeared to be a two-story wooden structure from my vantage point was, in reality, a one-and-a-half story building.

The familiar glow of the candlelight seemed to emanate from a side section, perhaps a balcony with a protective roof, rather than the main body of the building. Time had clearly left its mark; the structure looked considerably older than my own dwelling.

I felt a sudden urge to retreat, wary of drawing attention or arousing suspicion, and swiftly pedaled back to the safety of my home.
