A State of Otherness: The Reader

"The touch of the paper beneath her fingertips has always had the power to calm her thoughts. A ritual that beckons in a new journey with each passing word. She has lived countless lives, traveling to worlds she never imagined visiting. Lessons learned, love lost and found once more, worlds conquered, and histories retold. There’s beauty within the solitude of the written word—a sense of calm that washes over her when a tale nears its end. The sounds from the café softly echoed in the back of her mind, gently pulling her back to the present, making way for a brief interlude before she embarks on her next adventure."
