Maxim woke up with a spark of hope in his eyes. Today was his birthday, a day he imagined would overflow with love, treats, and belly rubs. He bounded into the living room, tail wagging and eyes sparkling, expecting a warm embrace. But the room was empty, silent, as if everyone had forgotten.
He waited by the door, watching and listening, hoping for familiar voices, laughter, and maybe a tasty treat. Yet, as minutes turned into hours, his joy began to fade. His tail stopped wagging, and his big brown eyes lost their sparkle, replaced by a shadow of sadness.
Finally, Maxim lay down by the door, letting out a soft whimper. He closed his eyes, hoping maybe, just maybe, he’d wake up to the warmth and love he longed for on his special day. But all that greeted him was the quiet of the lonely room.
Maxim fell asleep with a wish in his heart that one day, his birthday would be as bright and loving as he had dreamed.
