Entry #11: The Fabric of Echoes
In the quiet hours, as shadows play on the walls of the unseen, the mattress beneath my bones whispered. It murmured tales of wandering souls caught between dreams—echoes in seashells. Each whisper wrapped in the scent of salt and woven with the laughter of tides.
I heard of a sailor, once, who carried a crescent moon in his pocket and sought the horizon in every droplet of rain. He spoke to the sea as one speaks to an old friend, and his stories were filled with constellations and lost lullabies.
The shell echoed his voice, not with words, but with the rhythm of waves crashing upon distant shores. I closed my eyes, allowing the sound to transport me, and felt the cool breeze of autumn as it brushed against an unseen coastline.
Entry #12: The Traveler's Dream
A traveler sits upon the edge of a world turned upside down, where stars dance in the reflections of a twilight sea. He carries the weight of dreams accumulated over countless nights, each thread woven into the fabric of his worn-out cloak.
The traveler taps his staff upon the ground, and from each tap a star is born, drifting slowly into the ether. The shell at my ear catches the glow, casting faint light upon the darkened room, illuminating the hidden paths of forgotten lands.
