The quiet secret
<p><br/></p><p>Mystery lives in the spaces between what we know and what we can’t explain. It hides in unanswered questions, half-told stories, and moments that make us pause and look twice. Sometimes, mystery doesn’t shout—it whispers.</p><p>There was a small town where nothing ever seemed out of place. People greeted each other every morning, shops closed at the same time every night, and the streets fell silent before midnight. Yet, at exactly 12:07 a.m., a single streetlight at the town’s center flickered on by itself. No one knew why. Electricians checked it, officials replaced it, but the light always returned—alone, glowing softly in the dark.</p><p>Some said it was just faulty wiring. Others believed it was a sign, a reminder of something forgotten. Children dared each other to stand beneath it at night, claiming they felt watched, as if the air itself was holding a breath. Elders avoided the place, not out of fear, but respect—for they knew some truths are not meant to be forced into the open.</p><p>Mystery teaches us patience. It reminds us that not everything needs an explanation to have meaning. In a world that demands answers, mystery allows wonder to survive. And sometimes, the unanswered question is more powerful than the truth itself.</p>
