Introduction to Circular Narrative

It was as if time had come full circle, returning her to the place where her journey had begun. The familiar streets, once full of hope, now echoed with memories of what once was. As she looked around, a sense of closure washed over her, knowing that she had come back to where everything had started. The cycle was complete, and she felt ready to move forward, unburdened by the past.
