I thought I would leave those and this...
Beyond the veil has been described as, a mysterious or hidden place or state, especially the unknown state of existence after death.
“…and yet what you cannot see is there before your eyes. It is the mystery that guards all other mysteries. An enlightened soul once said, ‘See what is before your eyes, and nothing shall remain hidden from you’. It is time to see what is before your eyes…”
What does this phrase bring to you? Is it love, spirituality, or fear of the unknown? Perhaps something more, something deeper. We want you to open your mind and slip beyond the veil.

Thanks, everyone! ❤️
Thank you so much for doing this and for your generosity. 70 words is hard but it brought out some wonderful stories.
Congratulations to TheShyThespian and JamesPBear for taking the top spots.

The summer air seemed to buzz with something not yet seen. A cry floated through the air as lightning lit the sky and thunder cracked like a whip, startling the boy. The crying grew, feeling everywhere, surrounding him, racing in on rolling clouds.
The boy froze, no longer feeling the heat of the day.
His parents' warning was true.
“‘No!” his cry was stolen by the wind.
“No,” he whimpered.
