“stories in bloom”
In the quiet of an abandoned library, a book long forgotten stirred to life. 
Among them sat a tiny figure, sculpted from the very story of the book itself.

Stories in bloom
Dandelions sprouted, their strong stems stretching toward an invisible sun. Seedheads swayed gently in an imagined breeze, their shadows dancing on the walls. The figure stayed there for hours, reading, until the lines between reader, story, and world blurred into one.
Its dusty pages fluttered open softly, and from within, a world began to grow.
They leaned against the towering weeds, knees drawn up to their chest, absorbed in the delicate book they held.
