Echoes Beneath the Bridge

Written in free time, from: Creative writing

At dusk the city hummed with distant frequencies, and I let that low vibration shape a quiet narrative. A solitary figure paused beside a rusted railing, notebook cradled in one hand, feeling unseen currents ripple through the air. Each sentence was crafted to echo ambient sounds, letting subtle sensations guide the rhythm of the prose. The piece unfolded with purposeful efficiency, its pacing deliberate and measured, inviting readers to listen to the spaces between words as they would to background whispers.
