Every time I walk through the village streets, I feel a painful emptiness. It is as if the soul of the place no longer exists. Those who once filled these streets with laughter and stories are now mere echoes of memory, leaving behind a palpable void. Every step I take seems heavier, burdened by the absence of familiar faces. The village was once teeming with life, but now it is empty. Fayoum, Egypt 2024
