The River that Sang Back

When Arlo hummed by the river, the water hummed with him. At first he thought it was coincidence, but soon the river mirrored his melodies exactly. One evening, he sang his sorrow, and the river replied with harmonies of healing. In that duet, he understood something simple and profound: water carries more than currents—it carries memory. And when he finally left, the river kept singing his song long after he forgot its tune.
