1880s Stories

"Some stories are not written by fate-they are carried through time." Vincent was a poet who believed every verse had its place upon the page. But one quiet night, beneath the glow of a lonely streetlamp and the relentless hands of an unfamiliar clock, time itself unraveled before his eyes. When he awakens in the year 1880, nothing is familiar-not the streets, not the people, not even the books that once brought him comfort. Lost between centuries, Vincent finds refuge in a place where ink still dries beneath feathered quills, letters are penned by hand, and every stranger greets him with unexpected kindness. As he searches for a way home, he discovers that some encounters are no coincidence, some pages are destined to be written, and some poems echo across generations.
