The Lost Message in the Pine Cone

It began with a story told in twilight, a reminiscence from bygone lands where secrets were entrusted to fallen pine cones. She recalled, or perhaps imagined, a time when whispers of the breeze converted these conical relics into postmen of the forest.

To decipher the pine cone, one had to sit quietly, becoming one with the resonating forests, feeling the pulse of its ancient heart. Each shivered note of the singing pines would spin tales of distant tomorrow's, reflections of an age's twilight echoing into today.
