First Word Echo

Written in free time, from: Creative writing

I stepped into the quiet of my mind, where thoughts are brushes and silence a canvas; I chased a single word that floated like a moth, its edges shimmering with possibilities, weaving through memories of games lost after three moves and resignations after six, each ending a small saga. In those moments I realized that language is both thread and loom, a tapestry where the first word becomes a seed, sprouting narratives that echo beyond the page.
