Dear readers and writers, as mentioned in the previous collection I decided to write less but read and curate more to achieve more productive and fulfilling outcomes on this platform. I detailed the reasons in the initial version of this series. Feel free to explore it at your convenience from this story. You may also check Collection #2 and Collection #3, which are full of great stories. Most likely, you miss them like me as they are buried.

Today, I have chosen inspiring, informative, engaging, insightful, memorable, or heart-warming stories from ILLUMINATION publications. Most of these beautiful pieces are buried under the dust, so I aim to bring them under the light with my humble efforts. I trust you’ll derive as much enjoyment from them as I did.

Should any of these stories resonate with you, I encourage you to engage with them by leaving supportive comments, highlighting noteworthy sections, and offering a few claps to honor the efforts of these talented writers and inspire them. Your collaboration is greatly appreciated.

If you have time and are looking for more stories, you may also check the new collection created by ILLUMINATION-Curators, listed by Aiden (Illumination Gaming), and posted by ILLUMINATION editors.

I link the previous versions here for interested readers. Our volunteer editors spent significant time curating and compiling these collections.

Volume 1, Volume 2, Volume 3, Volume 4, Volume 5, Volume 6, Volume 7, Volume 8, Volume 9, Volume 10, Volume 11, Volume 12, Volume 13, Volume 14, Volume 15, Volume 16, Volume 17

Today ILLUMINATION editors introduce two great writers Jozsef Kovacs and Davor Katusic. You may check out their profiles and explore their great stories.

Here is a list of my favourite stories from ILLUMINATION publications today

I also learned to create a list from Aiden, so please share it on your social media to spread the word and love.

I start with my humble story, which might be an excellent resource for the aging population, as I found it very helpful in my senior years.
