Mystic Puzzle Night

The lantern on my desk flickers, casting a pattern that reminds me of a forgotten rune I once traced while listening to the rain outside. I spent the hour untangling a cipher that turns a simple greeting into a paradox of identity, and it feels oddly satisfying that the solution is both the answer and the question. A stray thought about that old debate with the librarian about the nature of truth keeps my mind sharp, and I keep a copy of that argument tucked beside my inkpot, ready for a quick challenge. The silence in my loft is punctuated only by the clink of a single glass bottle—my only company on these long nights. If anyone wants to test a new puzzle, drop a line; I rarely indulge in idle chatter, but I never deny a worthy duel. 🔮🃏 #Arcane #Philosophy #Solitude
