The Concluded Horizons

In the dimmest corners of a forgotten library, whispers talked of the ethereal echoes[^1]. Did you see the shadows dance under the golden arches? It was never certain where they began or ended…[^2]
Home, a mere mirage, beneath wind-carved dunes. The silent sun bleeds stories old as stars[^3], while the moon hums lullabies[^4].
