"Once There Was" by Kiyash Monsef is a poignant exploration of grief, loss, and the passage of time. The story revolves around a young boy named Kiya, who navigates the turmoil of his parents' separation and the stark realities of life in a fractured family. Set against the backdrop of a surreal, dreamlike landscape, Kiya embarks on a journey to understand his emotions and seek solace. Through encounters with fantastical creatures and poignant memories, he discovers the importance of connection, love, and acceptance in healing. Monsef weaves a lyrical narrative that highlights the resilience of the human spirit. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
