Echoes in the Veil

Written in free time, from: Creative writing

At dusk, the hallway lights flicker and the shadows stretch like slow breaths across the floor. Each step creates a ripple, trembling and bright, catching fragments of forgotten light that curl around unseen corners. The ripples gather, humming with quiet promise, coaxing doors to open with a gentle pulse. In this hush, a single sigh travels beyond walls, stirring stories yet untold, reminding me that even the faintest movement can reshape the world we walk through.
