Echo of Time

The Chime of Forgotten Days

It was on a Tuesday, or perhaps a Wednesday, when the clocks stopped. The air grew thick with a silence that unraveled itself in strands, whispering secrets long sworn to keep. Days brushed past each other like strangers on a packed subway, eyes fixed on unfocused horizons. Time, it seemed, had taken a vacation.

In these moments, the past became a delicate tapestry unraveling at the edges. Threads pulled apart, revealing mysteries and echoes of laughter believed to belong to someone else’s summer. Was it summer then? The sun may have chuckled in the background, swinging steady in a relaxed orbit.

Turn back through the reed-thin memories, or forge ahead into tangled reflections.

Mirrored Reflections

Standing in front of that old, cracked mirror, I sometimes catch glimpses of an alternate self, where choices diverged and rerouted. The reflection quivers, distorts in a playful dance, leaving shadows crammed in corners unlit by the usual sun, shadows that harbor unspoken truths.

Occasionally, these shades talk. Not with words but with gestures, faint portraits sketched in the fog of an idle mind. They say things are not as they seem, echoing through winding streets and familiar faces that feel unrecognizably known.

Listen to the whispers or see the unseen lands.
