A
Reading Passage
Climbing the ladder to the sky, I reach for distance, yet still feel tethered to her gaze. The tape measure unrolls, a line between us, marking the space I claim and the distance I seek. The window frames her silhouette, a guardian whose voice echoes softly, reminding me of limits and longing. Each step away from her, a step into the unknown, yet she remains the constant, anchoring my ascent. Our reflections ripple in the glass, merging past and present, boundary and breach, as I test the limits of independence and connection.
