Watching raindrops race down a window, Ethan thought of stories lost to silence. Each droplet mirrored a life unlived, a word unsaid, a dream abandoned. He had poured decades into writing, yet recognition remained elusive, love unclaimed.
He remembered nights spent in hunger, writing until his hands shook, hoping the world would see him. But the world had not. The window became a screen for his grief, the rain a reflection of the tears he could no longer stop.
In that quiet storm, he realized that life had passed him by while he chased an impossible dream. The words he loved had never loved him back.
