Jane was always known by the name Cortographer of forgotten sounds. When others mapped the mountains and rivers, it charted it that could not be seen – memories that were left behind. Wearing his workshop was filled with journals, yellow images and pieces of letters, each lifting the stupid resonance of life.
Every evening, Jane would sit next to her desk, tracing hidden lines across an old Wellem map. When her pen was transferred, she was not drawing. She was listening. The voices of the past whispered it, sometimes tremble, sometimes bold, just demanded to be remembered. Jane’s gift was not in the restoration of the loss, but it was in giving her a new geography – a way of forgotten stories that looks at her place in the present.
One day, he discovered a marked region, an empty patch in the middle of his map. No name, no sound. It was pure silence. Still, he called the higher than anything. Jane traveled inward, closed her eyes and stepped into the white spread. There she got quietly – not empty but full of countless faces that are faded together, is craving to recognize.
He put his name like the stars, even became a tower of emptiness. When the gene returned, the world felt light. People began to dream of the ancestors they never knew, the singing songs they had never heard.
Jane smiled. His work was never about completion. It was about the contact – the one that was silenced and who was ready to listen.
