The Tailor Who Sewed Silence

In a quiet mountain village, there lived a tailor named Soren whose garments were said to change lives. A shawl could soften grief. A coat could muffle fear.

But one day, a woman arrived asking for something impossible — a dress that could make her forget.

Soren worked through the night, sewing thread made from the sound of falling snow. When the woman tried on the dress, she sighed in relief. “It’s quiet,” she whispered, smiling for the first time.

The climax: Weeks later, Soren found her dress returned neatly folded on his doorstep, with a note that read:

“Thank you for the silence. I’ve remembered enough.”

That night, he realized his shop was empty — every garment he’d ever made had vanished, leaving only the echo of a single heartbeat woven into the floorboards.
