Setting: awarding event

A year ago
“The best-selling novel of 2022 goes to ( name ng book ), written by ( name ng lola ), with its
co-writers, Ali and Eli.”

Setting: Cemetery
They visited their grandmother and put the trophy beside its grave.
Eli’s dad wanted him to be a politician so he can brainwash him. But Eli became a writer and
begged his dad to stop his wrongdoings and support him and his sister instead, which he did.

THE END.
