The Precipice

(stumbling upon a story was a story unto itself. how long it had been waiting, no one knew. perhaps not even the owner themselves. it took place among the lost and the forgotten, made to be completely unassuming but at the same time too conspicuous not to notice. it was eager to be found.)

You stumble upon a story. Take it. Leave it. Read it. Probe it. But it's not yours to change (even if you are To Whom It May Concern).

Venture forth, and you might find more than what meets the eye.
