The Puddle That Remembered
A single puddle in the market reflects not the sky but scenes from yesterday—then last week—then a battle no one here fought. Children play in it until they start quoting orders from dead generals. Contain the memory-stained water, find what was buried beneath the cobbles, and decide whether some histories should stay sunk.
