The scent of freshly baked bread wafted through the air, leading me back to my grandmother's kitchen. Her soft voice humming a tune mixed with the crackling of the oven. I open my eyes to find myself in a bustling city, the smell now replaced by exhaust fumes and street food.
It was a rainy afternoon, and the sound of raindrops tapping on the window created a rhythm that lulled me into a dream. I remember sitting on my childhood bed, a book in hand, not really reading but lost in a world of my imagination. Outside, the sun is shining brightly, a cruel joke played by the weather.
A playground with rusting swings and an old slide stood lonely in the fading light. I was there, sharing secrets with a friend who, like the playground, has faded from my life. The laughter of children echoes in an empty space beside me now.
The sound of distant chimes floated through the air, pulling me toward an antique shop. Each bell told a story, tales of times long past. My fingers brushed against cold metal, and I wondered about the lives these objects had witnessed. A faint melody plays, a song from another time.
