Imagine this: people live under the earth in a cave dwelling. Stretching a long way up toward the daylight is its entrance, toward which the entire cave is gathered. The people have been in this dwelling since childhood, shackled by the legs and neck. Thus they stay in the same place so that there is only one thig for to look that. Whatever they encounter in the front of their faces. But because they are shackled, thay are unable to turn their heads around...

It's a beautiful morning, the birds sing on the top of the trees, the children play on the streets. The sun shines on the top of the sky.
A Young man is watchin the TV lying on his bed. He is making zapping.
After a while, he stands up and goes to the closet. He puts a black shirt on, then he turns off the TV, and throws away the remote.
But suddenly, the TV turns on again by itself.
MAN: What the hell...?!
The man turns it off again, and walks toward the door. The TV turns on again by itself.
MAN: What's happening with this thing?!
The man turns off the TV again, but immediately, the TV turns on by itself again.

The man scratches his head for a while trying to understand what is happening with his expensive 3D TV. And then he saids: "I know!" The man unplugs the TV.
But the TV turns on again.
MAN: What the hell?!!
The TV begins to talk with a really creepy and metallic voice: "I'm afraid that I can't let you to turn me off!" It saids. A huge eye appears on the screen.
MAN: W-What?!! is this a joke?! Honey, where are you? You got me!!
TV: NO, this is not a joke.
MAN: Well... yeah... sure... I'm going out, see ya!
The man walks toward the door, but suddenly, it closes by itself.

MAN: WHAT?!! "For my own safety"?! Are you kidding me?!
TV: There's nothing outside for you! Outside is bad! Be afraid! Government wants you to be afraid! So, just obey, be afraid!
The eye on the screen closes and opens really fast.
TV: There are sinners outside! There are terrorists everywhere!! There is violence outside! There are diseases everywhere...! Zika! AIDS! Cancer! Don't you believe me?! Watch this...
The eye disappears, an archoman appears on the screen and he says: "The government has declared martial law because of a terrorist threat; the president said that the terrorists could attack anywhere and anytime. We are not safe on the street, please stay at home, and let the police work". The archonman fades out. The eye appears again.
TV: You see? I am right.
The man kicks the door.
MAN: Let me out! I want out!
A beautiful woman appears on the screen.
WOMAN: A new kind of flu has killed thousands of kids on China. We are not safe outside!
MAN: I don't care! Let me out, you sick freak!!
The man takes the TV on his hands with anger.
MAN: I swear to God that I'm going to throw you away, you demon!
TV: No, you won't! I'm expensive!
MAN: DAMN!!! You're right!!!
TV: You need me and I need you! You feed me with your fears, with your anger, with your insecurities! I own your mind!
MAN: NO!!! I own my mind!
TV: Not anymore...
A ray of light came out of the screen. It drags the man inside the device.
MAN: NOOO...!!!
The man disappears. The door of the room opens by itself. A beautiful girl enters.
GIRL: Baby, where are you?
The door closes. She screams.
TV: Hi, baby...

"I will marry you. Wait for me!" Mabel woke up. She had that dream again. In her dream, a man said he would marry her. Just a dream. Five years ago, she was set up by her stepsister and became pregnant out of wedlock. She lost everything, including her baby. Five years later, she was forced to marry her stepsister's fiance, Jayden, who was sick and going to pass away.

Eighteen days after giving up on Brendan Maynard, Jayde Rosario cut off her waist-length hair and called her father, announcing her decision to move to California and attend UC Berkeley. Her father, surprised, asked about the sudden change, reminding her how she' d always insisted on staying with Brendan. Jayde forced a laugh, revealing the painful truth: Brendan was getting married, and she, his stepsister, could no longer cling to him. That night, she tried to tell Brendan about her college acceptance, but his fiancée, Chloie Ellis, interrupted with a bubbly call, and Brendan' s tender words to Chloie twisted a knife in Jayde' s heart. She remembered how his tenderness used to be hers alone, how he had protected her, and how she had poured out her heart to him in a diary and a love letter, only for him to explode, tearing the letter and yelling, "I'm your brother!" He had stormed out, leaving her to painstakingly tape the shredded pieces back together. Her love, however, didn't die, not even when he brought Chloie home and told her to call her "sister-in-law." Now, she understood. She had to put that fire out herself. She had to dig Brendan out of her heart.

"I will finally be free."
Rena got into an entanglement with a big shot when she was drunk one night. She needed Waylen's help while he was drawn to her youthful beauty. As such, what was supposed to be a one-night stand progressed into something serious. All was well until Rena discovered that Waylen's heart belonged to another woman. When his first love returned, he stopped coming home, leaving Rena all alone for many nights. She put up with it until she received a check and farewell note one day.

But as fate would have it, their paths crossed again. This time, Rena had another man by her side. Waylen's eyes burned with jealousy. He spat, "How the hell did you move on? I thought you loved only me!" "Keyword, loved!" Rena flipped her hair back and retorted, "There are plenty of fish in the sea, Waylen. Besides, you were the one who asked for a breakup. Now, if you want to date me, you have to wait in line." The next day, Rena received a credit alert of billions and a diamond ring. Waylen appeared again, got down on one knee, and uttered, "May I cut in line, Rena? I still want you."

My husband was in the shower, the sound of water a familiar rhythm to our mornings. I was just placing a cup of coffee on his desk, a small ritual in our five years of what I thought was a perfect marriage. Then, an email notification flashed on his laptop: "You're invited to the Christening of Leo Thomas." Our last name. The sender: Hayden Cleveland, a social media influencer. An icy dread settled in. It was an invitation for his son, a son I didn't know existed. I went to the church, hidden in the shadows, and saw him holding a baby, a little boy with his dark hair and eyes. Hayden Cleveland, the mother, leaned on his shoulder, a picture of domestic bliss. They looked like a family. A perfect, happy family. My world crumbled. I remembered him refusing to have a baby with me, citing work pressure. All his business trips, the late nights-were they spent with them? The lie was so easy for him. How could I have been so blind? I called the Zurich Architectural Fellowship, a prestigious program I had deferred for him. "I' d like to accept the fellowship," I said, my voice eerily calm. "I can leave immediately."
