The Threads of Time
A small bookstore named The Timeless Tale survived in the city center where it separated
two adjacent coffee shop and dry cleaners. Only a minimal number of people walked
through the doors of this bookstore because its old sign was nearly invisible to anyone
passing by. The bookstore welcomed its visitors into a world beyond books as well as its
extensive collection. His eyes possessed the depth of centuries as Elias maintained his
position as the shopkeeper. Elias' bookstore shelves displayed various titles including
outdated to fresh books which made some of their titles unreadable. Each volume held
meaning to Elias as individual pieces forming the wider pattern of historical time.
The shop door offered protection that day to Myza the overwhelmed student along with
three others: the elderly Harold and professional lady Elise and Leo the story-loving child.
When Elias greeted the visitors he provided them with both a friendly smile and an
invitation to take a seat. Welcomed by the rhythm of rain against windows he took out a
small leather-bound book from the shelf then began reading.
In the narrative Reverie lived in a town which used time as its life force despite being a
weaver by trade. Reverie could perceive the various life threads which existed as bright
golden threads alongside destroyed fragments of sadness as well as all other shades
between them. She identified a special thread called Thread of Time which unified all
existing lives with tales together. During her journey the visitors observed how Reverie
battled with her power to see beyond time until she understood that every thread played an
essential role in sustaining existence.
All present listened attentively as Elias ended the story while the rain produced gentle noises
outside. He turned his gaze toward his visitors while stating "Stories function as historic
whispers which evolve into future voices". Each thread of existence maintains its vital
connection to the entire whole according to these tales of the past.
The tale touched the hearts of people who visited the portal. Myza discovered that her
hardships existed among other elements which shaped her life story. The regrets from his
past did not rule Harold since he believed he could still create something beautiful in his
future. Elise realized she needed to protect all the crucial threads in her life which included
her professional duties, personal bonds with family and her life aspirations. Through the
story Leo departed filled with wonder as he kept the narrative close to his heart.
Elias distributed handmade bracelets to everyone as a sign that they held space within the
universal design. The visitors finished their walk as the rainfall subsided and they entered
the world with enlightened spirits and changed perspectives. Elias replaced the book on its
shelf while his face showed a delicate smile. He understood that their experience had not
reached its conclusion. Time continued its flow while the visitors’ carried elements of the
tale through their own life experiences. The Thread of Time shimmered deep within the city
while patiently awaiting to show its upcoming story.
When the last person departed, the door revealed a dim light coming from a leather-bound
book. Elias briefly examined the book while his heartbeat accelerated. A new weaver
awaited selection by the tale itself. The historical whispers activated the present as new
possibilities appeared in the forthcoming time. Time marched forward without anyone
having any ability to determine its mysteries. The life tapestry displayed an endless journey
of development since no single thread no matter its size could ignore its transformative
potential.
The story will continue Again
