The clock does not stop. Its hands move with precision. With purpose. The midnight hour casts an indifferent shroud, encompassing the city in a blanket of stillness. Digital displays flicker briefly, asleep in their mechanical rest, only to be reawakened by the inevitable passage of time.
People mingle in thought, their routines etched in stone, each movement a cog in the grand machinery of life. Streets remain empty, save for the occasional whisper of wind through unyielding concrete canyons. There is no room for emotion in the void, yet it is filled with a resonance uniquely its own. A rhythm that cannot be heard but is felt within the marrow of existence.
In this rhapsody, the heart beats to a different tempo—an orchestra of solitude where harmony is derived from absence. These moments linger, elusive and fleeting, yet they form the backbone of a reality so profoundly rooted in the cyclical dance of night and dawn. A serenade to the forgotten, to the unbidden, to the unmoved.
