Once, in the heart of the mist-clad valley, there lay a market. Not of fruits or silks, but one of faded memories and whispers of forgotten dreams. Here, the air was thick with the scent of ages past, and the stalls were manned by figures clothed in twilight.
You stepped in, drawn not by hunger but by an insatiable curiosity. Each stall beckoned with a promise of moments never fully lived—tales spun in shadows, adventures halted before the first step began. The vendors smiled, their eyes glimmered like dewdrops on a spider’s web, inviting you to taste the ephemeral.
You wandered, drawn to a stall wrapped in velvety darkness. The proprietor, a woman of dusk, offered a single breath of time unspent. Its essence lingered on your lips—sour and sweet, heavy with the weight of all paths not chosen. You felt the pull of countless what-ifs, each one a possibility left to wither in the uncarved future.
Beyond the stall, you saw a sign beckoning: Tales Beyond the Veil or Whispering Shadows.
