What Remains Unseen
Jassim Malik
One evening, the weight of failure pressed against him, thickening the air until it was hard to breathe. Albert sat still, his gaze fixed on the wall. The dim light cast his shadow long-unnaturally stretched-as if someone else stood behind him.
Then came the voice.
"Your path remains hidden only because you refuse to see it."
Hopeless, Albert whispered into the empty room, "If you're truly my future... then show me magic-something that can change my life."
For a moment, nothing.
Then, the shadow wavered-splitting, twisting-almost as if it smiled.
Albert shivered but pushed forward. He gripped the fragments of his fading hope, letting them pull him from the hollow emptiness. Step by step, his thoughts shifted, his intentions sharpened, and slowly, the weight of failure and greed began to lift.
Time passed unnoticed.
And life... slowly opened its doors.
What once seemed impossible was now his.
The shadow, the voice-had they ever truly existed? Or had he finally found the part of himself he'd forgotten?
