Write your draft
The morning light slanted through the half-open shutters, painting gold bars across the wooden floor. Elena sat at the kitchen table, a cold cup of coffee at her elbow, turning the envelope over in her hands.
She had found it tucked beneath the loose floorboard in the attic, wedged between dust and decades of forgetting. The paper was brittle, the ink faded to the color of old tea. But the handwriting was unmistakable — her grandmother Lucia's careful, looping script, each letter formed with the patience of someone who learned to write by candlelight.
Outside, the village was waking. A dog barked. A moped coughed to life on the cobblestones. But Elena heard none of it. She was somewhere else entirely, decades away, reading words that would change everything.
