The Lantern Whisper
In the blushing dusk, when the moon kisses the horizon with timid brilliance, the lantern flickers. It isn't just light. It hums a tune only scattered souls can hear...
...Echoes, echoes of forgotten laughter skitter across cobbled paths, like shadows racing away from light. She grasped the handle, cold, smooth, like deception wrapped in velvet truth.
Curiosity became a restless tide; she opened the door marked "Abyss". Every step sang through midnight. Murmurs and ghostly calendars recounted tales only half-known... and half-believed.
