Description
Summary: Klaus, a quiet graduate on the verge of adulthood, walks away from the noise of celebration and into the stillness of his own uncertainty. As his classmates rejoice, he escapes to the rooftop, haunted by a hollow feeling that the world expects him to ignore. The final bell of high school marks not triumph, but a quiet unraveling-a void he cannot name. Wandering through forgotten places and half-formed memories, Klaus confronts the question: what comes next, when you don't know who you are? The Bell and the Void is a quiet, introspective coming-of-age story about emotional numbness, inner disconnection, and the quiet power of beginning again. Please vote if you enjoy the story!
