Theme: The Art of Losing
Keep in the heart of the city, hidden beneath piles of trash, there lies a secret cave. People say the Knights of Lost Things dwell there. Their armor is made of shards of broken mirrors and old keys that clink like whispers. Behind a long, crooked table littered with gears and bits of string, they mend broken things: shattered clocks become magic compasses that point to happy times, and torn teddy bears turn into lanterns that glow with children’s laughter. Every night, the knights whisper to shadows of the past, stitching them to tomorrow. “Everything fades away,” they warn, “but memories… memories never die.” And if you listen real close in the dark… you might hear them rustling… Guarding treasures everyone wants… but nobody can ever reach.
