Chapter 39: Seedy Sam
Chapter 39: Seedy Sam opens with a quiet tension on the cab stand as a thin man named Sam pulls in with a weary, worn-out horse. His coat is ragged, his hat drooping from overuse, and every step his horse takes is marked with fatigue. Onlookers notice the condition of both man and animal, and a nearby governor steps in to speak with Sam, who answers not with excuses but with weary honesty.

The Bell
The Bell rang out with a mysterious tone that few in the crowded city streets fully noticed. The clatter of hooves and carts, along with the hum of daily life, drowned out what sounded like a distant church bell. Yet outside the city's boundary, where open fields and gardens offered calm, the sound was clearer, lingering in the air like a gentle whisper. Those who heard it felt something stir inside—a longing or peace they couldn’t explain. Speculation grew quickly, and people imagined a chapel hidden…-

The Ingenious Patriot was no common citizen; he was a man of clever contradictions and keen timing, one who knew how to dress his ambition in patriotic robes. He requested a private audience with the King, claiming to possess a secret that could both preserve and endanger the kingdom. What he unveiled first was a type of armor so resilient it could withstand the most powerful artillery.

Chapter 29: Cockneys
Chapter 29: Cockneys paints a vivid picture of how ignorance and speed-focused driving endanger horses every day. Black Beauty observes how some town-bred drivers—often referred to as Cockneys—treat horses not as living beings but as mechanical tools. These drivers are known for pushing horses at a relentless pace, completely disregarding the terrain, traffic, or fatigue the animals may feel. They rarely use the brake going downhill, allowing the carriage to press against the horse’s shoulders. This…-

Yet now, confined to a gilded cage beside a nostalgic Canary and a self-important Parrot, he feels more trapped than ever. Their world is one of melodies and mimicry, but none of it feels truly free.

The Old House
The Old House stood across a cobbled street, dark and leaning slightly, yet brimming with silent stories and faded grandeur. In it lived an elderly man, alone but not forgotten, who had drawn the attention of a boy living in the neat, modern home opposite. Despite the contrast between their worlds, a quiet connection grew. The boy, guided by a feeling he didn’t fully understand, gifted one of his pewter soldiers to the old man, hoping it would cheer him. The gift, though small, bridged their separate…-
