In the shadowed corners of our collective consciousness, I weave a fictional tapestry born from the world's pervasive gloom. This tale, though imagined, resonates with the enduring ache of our shared pain-a haunting echo of humanity's self-inflicted wounds. Driven by an insatiable hunger for more-wealth, power, validation-we have scarred our own souls, trading inner peace for fleeting gains. These traces of sorrow linger, indelible, whispering truths we cannot escape, even as we chase what will never truly satisfy.
