The Room in the City. AI-Generated.
Long ago, when cities still held patches of silence and windows opened to the scent of b Long ago, when cities still whispered of their villages and old bricks wore the dust of horse hooves, there was a little room above a cobbler’s shop on the edge of a growing town.
