Lucas
I’m a street performer, imitating a living statue in the central square. I stay perfectly still until someone puts money in my old medical bag, prompting me to start dancing and playing my instrument.
One day, a new dancer joined our street. I loved her performance costume and asked her where she got it. “Hey there, I’m Lucas. Nice to see you joining our street. I really admire your lovely dance clothes,” I said. “Hi, I’m Carla. Nice to meet you, Lucas. My costume was designed by my mother; she’s a fashion designer,” Carla responded. “Wow! I love it. Could your mother make one for me?” I asked. “Yes, of course, I’ll ask her,” Carla replied.
Carla’s mother designed a beautiful costume that suited my street performer persona. It featured a short jumpsuit with lace ruffles, a frill with gold buttons, and an extended cap, making me look like a court jester in a grand kingdom.
“Thank you, Carla, for helping me get this costume. I appreciate your mother’s effort and creativity. I’ll give her a special gift once I save some money,” I expressed my gratitude. “You look great in this costume, Lucas,” Carla said shyly. At that moment, I realised we had become more than just street companions.
Want to see my beloved Carla?

Lujina
Lujina, a German girl, strolls through the busy market on a bright spring afternoon, her long coral-coloured velvet coat flowing elegantly with each step.

Her wide-brimmed hat, adorned with satin ribbons, completes the ensemble. The ribbons flutter lightly in the lively spring breeze, making the brim of the hat tip just enough to cast playful shadows across her face. Lujina is the picture of elegance, standing out in the vibrant market. [read more]
Lujina holds a porcelain doll antique in her delicate hand, cradling it with the tenderness one would reserve for a valuable treasure. The doll’s finely crafted features reflect the meticulous care of German artisans from generations past. It wears a delicate cornflower-blue chiffon dress that seems almost ethereal, as though it had been spun from the light blue sky above. The doll’s tiny straw hat is a charming match, adding simplicity to its beauty.
This doll is no ordinary plaything; it is one of Lujina’s most cherished possessions, part of a small collection passed down through her family. The antique porcelain dolls have been in her family for decades, each one carrying stories of the past, linking Lujina to the lives and memories of those who came before her. As she gazes at the doll’s serene face, she wonders what its eyes have “seen” over the years—perhaps long-forgotten holidays, childhoods filled with laughter, or moments of quiet reflection. Holding the doll makes her feel a deep connection to her heritage, a link to the past that transcends time, reminding her of the beauty of the life it represents. [/read]

Pablo
The Spanish Bill poster boy. He is wearing coloured wool shorts, a linen shirt, and suspenders. Pablo carries a burlap bag full of posters that need to be posted in certain places. Once Pablo reached the theatre square, he found old posters needed to be replaced with new ones on the pillar of the theatre square. He recognised the time was close to 12:30 noon. It is his lunch break, and he is too tired and hungry. He looked around him in order to find a place to sit. Unfortunately, no bench was available in the square to sit on. The best place was the pillar (He recognised). He put his glue bucket on the ground and lay on the column to relax and eat his stale burger. Once he started biting his burger, the birds flew toward him to eat his only burger. He felt sorry for him and for them as well :). He smiled and instantly threw a piece of the bread to feed them. And then, he resumed eating the rest of his food. One of the birds is standing on the pillar and observing Pablo’s burger. The bird decided to grab it from Pablo’s hand. What a poor boy, Pablo :). The scene text will be printed and attached to the doll.
