The Quiet Rust of Chains

"The cage isn't the bars; it's the belief that you can't escape."
Theo has spent his life trapped, not by walls, but by fear and doubt. His prison is silent, unyielding, and entirely of his own making. When a mysterious voice begins to challenge his reality, Theo must confront the possibility that freedom lies just beyond the curtain he's too afraid to touch. A deeply emotional story about despair, hope, and the courage it takes to break free.
