The old farmhouse on the hill.



Strolling through the green fields, I spotted an ancient farmhouse. Intrigued, I ventured inside, running my hands along the worn walls and creaky floorboards. Peering out the window, I witnessed a storm brewing in the sky. Despite the impending rain, something told me to stay. On the weathered table, a book caught my eye: "When the Moon is Full in the Heavens and Sea". Curious, I flipped through its pages and discovered the elusive words I had been searching for. The silence was broken, and I found a token on the floor with the words in God we trust.
