Cartography of Possibility

Written in free time, from: Creative writing

I have always believed that a map is more than a guide; it is a promise that every blank space can become a doorway. In my notebook I draw routes that wind through clouds of possibility, each line humming like a quiet song for travelers who have not yet set foot on them. The paper remembers the faint scent of distant seas and the rustle of alien leaves, and when I close the cover, the ink still glows, urging me to follow those phantom tracks into futures that are still unwritten.
