About this listen

Ink in the Shape of Silence is a calming short story for adults, set in the quiet of an old monastery where words are not always spoken but still felt.

When a solitary calligrapher discovers an invisible ink—one that cannot be seen, only sensed—he begins to write what the heart remembers. Each brushstroke draws out memories he never consciously chose, as if the ink knows what he cannot say aloud. The story unfolds gently, like breath in a candlelit room, where silence holds more truth than speech.

This is not a religious tale. It is a meditative, literary story for those who enjoy poetic fiction, slow pacing, and quiet emotional resonance. There are no twists, no tension—only a soft exploration of memory, presence, and the invisible threads that connect us.

Ideal for bedtime listening or quiet afternoons, this story is part of the Before Your Dream series—crafted to help listeners slow down, reflect, and find stillness in a noisy world.

If you’re drawn to stories about silence, emotion, and the spaces between language, this piece offers a gentle journey inward.
