A basket of bright red strawberries, an expected treat – but it held a terrifying discovery

Because it means someone understood exactly how much we trust beauty.

And how easily that trust can be broken.

Final Thoughts

A basket of bright red strawberries should have been a moment of joy. A simple pleasure. An expected treat.

Instead, it became a reminder I carry with me every day—that danger doesn’t always come with warning signs, and that even the most innocent things can hold terrifying secrets.

I still believe in kindness. I still believe in generosity. I still accept gifts.

But I look closer now.

And I never assume that what’s on the surface tells the whole story.
