Inscription Under Tempest

Rain lashes the valley in slanting silver threads, while a raw fracture of lightning cleaves the sky and freezes the question into harsh clarity: WHERE VOJTA? carved in pale letters across the cliffside, glowing as if dredged from some buried illumination. The mountain slopes fold inward like secret drawers, as if hiding their own dossiers. A torrent runs below, twisting, pulling torn leaves and silence, cascading toward a hollow unseen. Who risked exposure in this storm to brand the stone? A sentinel perhaps—someone sworn to guard truths deeper than that granite face. From behind wind-stooped pines, it feels like some operative’s last message: “We’ll keep searching, no matter the cost.” The scene hums with a warning older than its language, a sense that the land itself is mutating into a cipher. Yet the question persists, etched against eternity, and Vojta remains unaccounted for.
