The Wind

by Evan Thomas

The Wind is an unseen force, ancient and knowing, drifting between worlds with silent intent. It whispers through the trees, shatters the stillness of night, and lingers where fate wavers. In the depths of a flickering cottage, beneath the weight of sorrow, it watches. It waits. And when the moment is right, it claims what is owed and bestows what is needed.
