Emil sat at the small table by the window, staring at the lamplight trembling against the glass. His hands were folded, not fidgeting, but still restless. Grandfather settled opposite him, lowering himself […]
The mountain breeze carried the scent of pine and earth as Emil and Grandfather walked the winding forest trail. Birds fluttered overhead, free and unburdened.
