P004 → Echoes From the Past
“After dinner, my grandma, as per our tradition, led me out for a leisurely walk. However, this time, she veered off our usual path, guiding us towards a secluded area that bore the scars of a once-thriving river. Astonished, I realized I had been oblivious to this hidden gem so close to home. As we meandered through this forgotten slice of nature, my grandma began to share a story from her past. I've always cherished her tales, windows into a world of both living and non-living wonders I would never witness myself. Yet, her tone carried a weight I hadn't heard before—tinged with a sense of loss and nostalgia. It was as if, through her words, she was mourning the vibrant life that once flourished in this now silent retreat. This walk revealed not just an unseen corner of our neighborhood but also echoed the profound changes etched into my grandma's heart.”
