Opening sample
First pass from the workshop. Not the ending.
In the heart of Edmonton, where the northern lights pirouette across the winter sky and the river valley murmurs secrets to the trees, you might find yourself strolling down a quiet street, the air sharp with the scent of pine. This is Alberta, a place where the landscape is not just a mere backdrop but a character in its own right.
