      Just Folks

      Just Folks Cover
      by LovelyMay Just Folks begins with a portrait of a town that thrives not on noise, but on kindness. In this place, people are not judged by wealth or status, but by their decency and spirit. Neighbors greet one another with sincerity, and conversations lift hearts rather than weigh them down. Gossip finds no ground here because it is met with silence or replaced by praise. The people value cheer over cynicism, and they live by the principle that it is better to build others up than to tear them down. It's not a…

      by LovelyMay Jim Lancy's Waterloo begins in the quiet aftermath of hardship, where courage isn’t loud but steady.

The details trickle in like cold air through the wooden beams.…

In the stillness, their exchange captures not only their isolation from the world but their contrasting ways of enduring it.
