Sunday Whirl – Wordle #770

16.08.2026

The siren broke through the night, and I woke startled, my heart pounding before I even understood why.

For a moment, I simply listened.

Beyond the window came something that sounded almost like chanting, carried softly on the wind. I tried to convince myself it was only the strange way sounds travel after dark, but my pulse wasn’t convinced.

I slipped out of bed.

The house answered with sleepy sighs—wood settling, curtains moving, shadows stretching into unfamiliar shapes.

“Hello?” I whispered.

Apparently, I expected answers.

I received none.

On the chair beside the door sat a small basket I didn’t remember putting there. Inside was an old silver badge, tarnished with age.

That was when every sensible instinct told me to stay exactly where I was.

Naturally, curiosity won.

I reached for the badge.

The chanting stopped.

So did the siren.

And somewhere in the sudden silence, a voice whispered:

“Now we can start.”

I put the badge back in the basket.

Some mysteries can wait until morning.

Preferably after coffee. ☕
