The Messenger Wind

A coastal town learned to communicate through the wind. If someone whispered into a seashell, the breeze would carry the words to the person who needed them. One day, a girl released a message she wasn’t sure anyone would hear: I hope you’re okay. That night, a gentle gust brushed her window, returning the words: I will be. From then on, the girl kept a shell beside her bed—not for sending messages, but to remember that sometimes kindness travels farther than we imagine.
