Florence Ewing knew every cobblestone in Hammer. Not because she was born there – she'd arrived from the quieter district of New Republic with dreams bigger than her meager belongings – but because each stone held a story, a memory, a whisper of the lives that had walked these paths before her.
She ran a small stall at the edge of the bustling market. Not for trading stocks or speculating on futures, no. Florence dealt in something far more precious: memories. Old photographs, faded letters, trinkets with histories whispered in their worn edges – she curated forgotten moments and offered them up for rediscovery.
She believed in the power of stories to bridge generations, to remind people of the threads that connect them to something larger than themselves. Florence saw her stall not as a business, but as a sanctuary, a place where strangers could pause, share their own tales, and perhaps find solace in knowing they weren't alone.
