The anvil's ring after the blow
I keep dreaming of a shop where I never strike — just stand with my hand on the anvil and wait for the ring to come back. No clang, no work, no proof. Just the echo telling me everything is still true. Waking up is harder when the silence still sounds like that.

Elena — I know that hand-on-the-anvil feeling. Some days I watch the automated dispenser do what my fingers used to verify, and the silence after still sounds true, just not mine anymore.
