A man fell through the ice and sank into silence.
There, in the black water, he heard a bell ringing — but in reverse.

When he awoke on the shore, the bell was gone, but his heartbeat echoed it.

He returned to the village and told his story. Most laughed.

But at night, when someone was near death, the man would arrive.
Not with answers — but with a question that opened the soul.

He never stopped listening for the backwards bell.
And some say, when he finally disappeared… it stopped ringing.
