* THE POOL *

*** Voice of the Abandoned Pool ***

The pool remembers water.

Its tiled belly, once bright with ripples and laughter, now lies hollow beneath the open sky, holding only shadows and the soft crumble of time. Rusted railings cling to the edges like old bones, remnants of an industrial world that moved on without looking back.

Trees lean in from every side, their roots pressing against the cracked walls as if trying to reclaim what was never theirs. Vines spill over the ledges, draping themselves in loose, careless ribbons. Ferns unfurl between broken tiles. Even the air smells green - damp, wild, and quietly triumphant.

Yet above this ruin, chandeliers hang like ghosts of grandeur. Their crystals catch the fading light, scattering it in trembling fragments across the empty basin. They whisper of nights when the forgotten pool became a sanctuary again - a place where people gathered not to swim, but to feel the strange beauty of abandonment dressed in elegance.

Wind drifts through the space, stirring leaves and memories alike.

A single droplet falls from a cracked pipe, echoing like a heartbeat in the quiet.

The pool does not mourn.

It simply exists - a cathedral of rust and ivy, of lost purpose and new meaning.

A place where nature and nostalgia meet in a fragile, shimmering truce.
