Beneath a sky that shimmered with non-linear hues, Kiran found themselves adrift on the River of Echoing Currents. Time here whispered secrets of paradox, where moments cascaded in forms unseen yet intimately known. Hailing from a world bound by the straight jacket of clock hands, Kiran's arrival was as inevitable as leaf's descent to autumn soil.
The river spoke in ripples, murmuring tales of paths untaken and futures forgotten. As they rowed downstream, Kiran's hands trembled against the oars, which seemed to pulse with the rhythm of their heartbeat. Each stroke sent them spiraling into echoes that danced just beyond the rim of comprehension. One such echo began to form a face, not unlike their own but etched with labyrinthine wrinkles.
"I am the you that was never," whispered the echo with a voice of autumn leaves rustling against memory. Kiran shuddered, feeling the weight of countless decisions made and unmade. Would they steer their course differently if they knew this version of themselves?
With a heart full of the river's undying song, Kiran mused. Perhaps it is not the crossing of bridges that matters, but the rivers we choose to cross that binds us to the cosmos of endless stories.
