Description

A weary narrator drifts between sleep and waking on a cold, sun‑dappled November day in 1915, haunted by fragments of memory and a lingering sense that something terrible has already happened. He describes his mind as a storm, a chaotic jumble of guilt, innocence, and the echo of distant war, while the world outside seems indifferent. The opening is a vivid portrait of exhaustion, an inner monologue that teeters on the edge of delirium, inviting listeners to feel the tension of a mind on the brink.

Suddenly, a harsh knock shatters the silence and a stranger bursts into the room, demanding that the protagonist dress and follow him without explanation. The intruder’s urgent, authoritarian voice and the dim, red‑lit hallway create an unsettling atmosphere, hinting at a secret mission or looming danger. As the narrator reluctantly complies, the listener is drawn into a mystery that promises intrigue and psychological suspense, all set against the backdrop of a war‑torn world.
