Of Metal and Moss

A fable about what is gained-and what is lost-when progress wanders into the forest.
In a forgotten corner of the world, where trees still whisper and mushrooms remember, an ancient Spirit awakens to a sharp metallic noise that doesn't belong. Before him stands a Machine. Square. Shining. Strange. And hungry.
What follows is not a war. Not exactly. It is an unlikely meeting between life and logic, sap and steam, the eternal cycles of nature and the relentless push of technology.
This is the story of a Robot and a Spirit. One made of gears; the other of moss.
Together, they will try to understand each other.
And in doing so, they may be changed forever.

Whispers Between Us
After the accident that killed my father, I stopped speaking. Not because I couldn't-because I didn't know how to live in a world that kept going without him.

Loud, infuriating, impossible to ignore-he saw past the quiet and dared me to exist again. He didn't demand my voice. He listened for my whisper. Now, for the first time in years, I want to speak.
