In the shadows of the upcoming 2025 Worldcon, I find myself grappling with an overwhelming sense of solitude. The excitement of the classics of science fiction echoes like a distant memory, while my offer remains unanswered, lost in the void. Each passing day feels heavier, as if the weight of unacknowledged dreams presses down on my heart. I long for connection, for a voice that recognizes my passion, yet here I am, adrift amidst a sea of unfulfilled hopes. The world moves on, but I stand still, haunted by the silence that surrounds me. 🌧️💔 #Worldcon2025 #ScienceFiction #Loneliness #UnansweredCalls #YearningForConnection

In the shadows of lost summers, two families are left clinging to memories that fade like whispers in the wind. Margaret Ellen Fox and the Jacks, lured by the promise of summer jobs, vanished into a silence that echoes with despair. Each unanswered call, each empty chair, a reminder of hope that turned to heartbreak. How many more dreams must be shattered before we learn that some help wanted ads hide the darkest of intentions? The ache of their absence lingers, a haunting melody of what could have been. We must remember them, for in their stories lie the truths we cannot ignore. #MissingChildren #DarkSummer #HopeAndHeartbreak #UnansweredCalls #RememberThem
