Winds of Change

Chapter 1:

Humble Beginnings

The sun had scarcely risen over the horizon, its hesitant light barely casting any warmth onto the chilly cobbled streets of Sunny Bay. The village, at the time, was merely a patchwork of rustic houses and wooden docks that harbored modest fishing boats. To any outsider, Sunny Bay was an inconspicuous fishing village, with no promise of the towering metropolis it would one day become.

Each morning, as dawn painted the sky with shades of pink and gold, the fishermen would head out to sea, their silhouettes gracefully gliding over the still waters.

With the money he had saved and the trust he had earned, he bought a patch of land near the village center. It was here that he established his auto-repair shop - the first of its kind in Sunny Bay.

The wooden sign outside read, Albert’s Auto Magic. The villagers chuckled at the name. To them, automobiles were a far-off dream. But Albert’s vision was clear. He
