In a place that smelled faintly of spring and tea, four moments stretched across a single life like pages in a forgotten fairytale.
The first was soft. Two girls danced beneath a cherry tree, their laughter rising with the petals. They didn’t speak; they didn’t need to. The blossoms fell like confetti on the ending of something unnamed. It was the season of beginnings disguised as nostalgia.
Then came the sound—sharp and final. Her mother’s porcelain shattered on the floor. Not from rage, not from accident, but from inevitability. The delicate bowl, painted with blue cranes and fading gold, had cracked exactly along the memories. She looked at the pieces and, for the first time, didn’t try to fix anything.
Elsewhere, a woman walked with her head in the clouds—quite literally. Her thoughts refused gravity. Birds nested in her hair, dreams tangled in fog. Down on earth, her body remembered to eat, to sleep, to fold the laundry. But her mind floated somewhere better, perhaps lonelier, definitely lighter.
And finally, there was the flower. Pale and perfect, it grew from a woman’s chest, curled gently from where her heart had once pulsed. No one dared to pick it. It was not a symbol. It was her. She had become the bloom, the scent, the silence after a final breath.
And so, the tale ends—or begins—where all lives do: in pieces, in petals, in porcelain, in clouds.
