Dust Archive

Written in free time, from: Creative writing

In the quiet corners of a forgotten room, dust settles like a slow accumulator of touch. Each grain holds the imprint of a fingertip that brushed a windowsill, the whisper of a sleeve that passed, the ghost of a breath that lingered. It does not speak, yet it archives the pressure of presence, a silent library where the lightest contact is preserved in minute granules, waiting for a curious hand to disturb its silence and read the echoes.
