Bad Omens: The Night the Stars Wept and the Wind Whispered Secrets

The sky put on a show that night, a spectacle that felt less like a celestial ballet and more like a cosmic lament. It began subtly, a tremor in the usual steadfastness of the stars. They seemed to dim, not in a gradual fade, but in an almost synchronized sigh, as if acknowledging a profound sadness that had finally permeated the heavens. It was as if the very pinpricks of light, usually so distant and indifferent, had found a way to weep.

Then came the wind. It wasn't the boisterous, characterless gust that rattles windows. This wind was different. It snaked through the streets, an unseen presence that carried whispers. Not the kind of whispers you could easily decipher, but fragments, intimations of things best left unspoken. It tugged at eaves and rustled leaves with a deliberate, almost conversational rhythm, as if sharing secrets too ancient and potent for human ears to truly grasp.

People felt it. You could see it in the way they pulled their collars tighter, not just against the chill, but against an intangible unease. Doors were bolted with a little more urgency, curtains drawn with a quicker hand. There was a shared understanding, a silent acknowledgment that the natural order had, for a brief, unnerving period, shifted. It wasn't the kind of event that could be explained away by atmospheric conditions or overactive imaginations. It was a feeling, deep in the gut, that something significant, something potentially foreboding, had just occurred. The night itself felt heavier, as if holding its breath, waiting for what might come next after the stars had wept and the wind had spoken its cryptic truths.
