The old pink building sat quietly on the narrow street, but its windows told another story. Their iron bars curved outward in graceful swirls, as if exhaling after years of holding their breath. Locals said the bars were shaped this way to let flowers grow freely on the sills, though the blooms had long vanished. Still, every passerby felt a strange sense of movement—as if the house itself sighed gently at dusk, remembering a time when laughter and music spilled from its windows.
One afternoon, a young artist paused in front of the building, captivated by the flowing ironwork. To her, they looked like skirts caught in the wind, dancing despite being made of metal. She began sketching, and soon her drawings brought new life to the forgotten corner. Inspired by her work, neighbors planted flowers beneath the windows again. And slowly, the building seemed to brighten, its iron bars curving outward not with weariness, but as though welcoming the world back in.
