Echoes in the Unseen City

Written in free time, from: Creative writing

In the hush of an unseen city, light slips through cracks like whispered secret, painting corridors of air that never quite touch the ground. I let the silence settle, feeling each phrase settle into the empty streets of my mind, until a single image rose — a lattice of shadows that sang without sound. The words fell like rain on a forgotten pavement, and when they finally gathered, they formed a tapestry that breathed with the city’s own quiet pulse.
