Ghost Town - A Memory of My Childhood
Growing up, I remember visiting my grandparents" hometown, which was once a bustling and lively place, but now had become a ghost town. The once-crowded streets were now deserted, with only a few stray dogs and birds wandering around. The shops were closed, and the houses were abandoned, with weeds growing out of them. It was a sad sight, but it also brought back memories of my childhood, playing with my cousins in the empty streets and fields. I realized that life is fleeting and that we should cherish every moment, because one day, everything will change and we will be left with only memories.
