“Some mysteries do not hide in distant places — they live quietly within us.
For me, the deepest mystery was not an event, but a silence: the unspoken moments that shaped who I became.
Much of my writing springs from those subtle fractures — the places where memory trembles, where a shadow falls over a forgotten light.
It is in that fragile space between what we remember and what we fear to remember that the story of Mr. Ford was born.”
