Silence in the Boardroom

I opened my eyes and found myself in a boardroom I had never seen before.

The air was thick with the hum of voices. Everyone around the long,

polished table was presenting their thoughts, their perspectives, their grand visions. Charts flickered on

screens, hands waved in exaggerated gestures, and laughter punctuated

hollow arguments. But one man sat silent. Odd. His presence was

heavy, though he uttered not a single word. When the meeting

ended, the crowd dispersed with self-satisfied smiles, each convinced they had contributed something

profound. I followed the silent man to his cabin. It was stark.
