The Gunn Center For The Study Of Science

From Sand to Field: A Center-Back's Dream

Cleiton Silva is a 14-year-old boy living in a humble community in Brazil. He is of mixed-race descent, reflecting the rich diversity of Brazilian heritage, and is tall for his age, though he has a slender build. He helps his father as a construction worker's assistant to supplement the family income. His biggest dream is to become a football player, just like the legends he sees on TV. When he secures a spot on the youth team of Vitória, a prominent football club in the state of Bahia and one of the two biggest teams in the state, Cleiton feels he’s finally closer to changing his life and realizing the dream his father had to abandon to support the family. Determined to be a center-back like his father, Cleiton quickly realizes that the journey won’t be easy. He doesn’t have the same skills as the others and only has the advantage of being physically stronger, a result of years of hard work. Just as he’s about to be cut from the team, Cleiton is stunned by something unbelievable: a mysterious system appears, offering skills and challenges that promise to transform him into the greatest center-back of all time. Now, with a unique opportunity in his hands, Cleiton must juggle intensive training, the harsh reality at home, and the desire to honor the dream his father had to leave behind. Determined not to waste this chance, he approaches every training session as if it were his last, knowing he’s not just playing for himself, but also for his family and the dream of a better life. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer: The cover image was created using AI.

Destined for the unknown

From Riches to Realms ------ Strange events had begun to unfold:missing children, vanishing women, and widowed husbands—all while bodies disappeared without a trace. But worst of all— whispers around of the dead walking among the living. They said dead men tell no tales—until you force them silent. ....... Marie Antoine Lisette, or Liz as she preferred, never thought her life would spiral from riches to rags. She thought her future was set: a husband on the way, with gold, silver, pearls, lands, mansions, manors, and accounts she could scarcely keep track of. She had it all. But one fateful day, everything changed. Her head spun, her legs buckled, and then—darkness enveloped her. When she finally awakened, a circle of concerned faces surrounded her (her body) —friends and family, all eager for her recovery. Yet something felt amiss. When the prince arrived, Liz gushed, blushed, and her lips pursed as she shyly batted it at the prince. (Liz: Ew...) (???: So, you do like the prince) (Liz: What prince? Who?) As Liz opened her eyes again, a spiders crept through the damp wall. Her luxurious clothes had vanished, replaced by rags, and her hair lay matted and dirty. "A prison cell," she thought. Her voice quivered on the brink of tears, "My luxurious life." (???: About the prince...) "What could he possibly have to complain about?” she snarked. "..." When your world unravels in the most bewildering ways, do you ignore it or seek the truth? And when those answers come, will you accept them, or will they shatter everything you believe? **Presenting Liz, the first novel of yours truly for fun.** Follow her on her journey—a thrilling quest where adventure and budding romance await amidst danger and mystery. ----‐---‐--‐------‐--------‐-‐--‐------------------------ Cover from: ChatGpt
