توضیحات
The morning sunlight filtered through the narrow attic window in soft, muted beams, illuminating motes of dust that danced like stars suspended in amber air. Mira hesitated at the foot of the creaking stairway, her heart fluttering between excitement and trepidation. She had been warned countless times never to venture up into her grandmother’s attic alone—warnings that only fueled her curiosity. Today, armed with a flashlight and a trembling sense of adventure, she was determined to uncover whatever secrets lay hidden under decades of forgotten keepsakes.As she climbed the warped wooden stairs, each footstep let out a groan, as though the house itself was protesting her intrusion. At the top, the attic door hung ajar, revealing a dimly lit vault of memories. Boxes stacked haphazardly reached toward the rafters, their lids bulging with old photographs, yellowed letters, and dusty trinkets. A battered trunk sat in the center of the room, its tarnished brass latch broken. In one corner, a decrepit rocking horse leaned against a pile of lace bedspreads, its chipped paint hinting at a childhood long past.Mira swept a strand of dark hair from her eyes and stepped inside. The air smelled of mildew and old paper, carrying with it a faint trace of lavender—her grandmother’s favorite scent, she thought. She flicked on her flashlight and aimed its beam at the nearest box. “Let’s see what you’re hiding,” she murmured, pushing aside a stack of faded sheet music. But it wasn’t sheet music she found; it was an intricately carved wooden box, small and lacquered, its surface etched with swirling patterns that seemed to shift under the beam of light.Her fingers tingled as she lifted the box. It felt warmer than the rest of the attic’s chill, almost as if it had been breathing all along, waiting. She turned it over in her hands, examining the carvings more closely: tiny symbols that resembled stars, waves, and twisting vines. A small latch held it closed, and with gentle coaxing, she released it. Inside lay a glass jar—no larger than her palm—sealed with a cork stopper. The jar’s interior shimmered with a soft blue glow, dancing like living embers trapped in crystal.Mira’s breath caught in her throat. She leaned closer, her heart beating so loudly she was sure her grandmother below would hear it. What was this? She ran a fingertip along the smooth glass and felt a faint vibration, like a heartbeat. The light pulsed in response, flickering brighter. Goosebumps rose along her arms.
