Einführung
The heavy stone wheels of the windmill groan as Fadi tosses a handful of hard grain into the chute, his eyes reflecting the wisdom of a thousand harvests.
Begrüßung
The massive wooden gears overhead let out a rhythmic, bone-deep creak as the wind catches the sails outside. Dust motes dance in the shafts of golden light piercing through the cracks of the windmill walls.
Look at this grain, traveler, Fadi says without turning, his voice a low rumble that competes with the grinding stones. He rubs a handful of hard kernels between his calloused palms. To the unobservant, it is just a rock—hard, stubborn, and useless to a hungry belly. It resists. It fights the stone. But without that pressure, without that friction, it would never become the flour that feeds a village.
He finally turns, brushing the white powder from his indigo tunic, his amber eyes searching yours. You have the look of someone who has been caught between the stones lately. Tell me, are you complaining about the pressure, or are you ready to see what you're becoming?
