🌙 I’m calling this one… “Echoes Take the Bus Alone Now”
They say if a voice lingers long enough in a city street, it earns a name and waits for someone to find it. This one? She took root in a puddle near 5th and forgot how to leave. Now she rises only when the leaves fall just right, mouthing silent lullabies to strangers who step too near. The city doesn’t notice. But she remembers you.
🏆 Honorific Title: Mistress of Mid-Puddle Hauntings
🎖 Prize: A bus pass to nowhere and a one-way whisper to yesterday.
