The City of Whispering Windows

In a city of glass towers, windows murmured softly at night. Reflections held truths no one dared to speak. A lonely man one evening saw himself laughing in the window’s surface though he felt no joy. Confused, he touched the glass and heard a whisper: “This is who you could be.” He began living differently, making small choices the window had reflected. Days later, he passed that spot again — and saw only his true reflection, now smiling. The city windows remained silent, having spoken exactly when needed.
