Teapot Of Days

Every night, Rey found himself locked in an endless battle with insomnia. Recently, he discovered the reason—he was suffering from a chronic illness. The diagnosis was grim, with the shadow of death lurking closer than he had ever imagined. Hope began to slip through his fingers like sand. He wasn’t suicidal, but he was losing the will to fight.



Then, one ordinary day, something extraordinary happened.



As dusk settled and silence filled the room, a soft wisp of blue smoke began curling out of the spout of a Chinese teapot he had recently purchased. Startled, Rey backed away as the smoke thickened and formed into a shape. A deep, echoing voice filled the room:



"Make a wish, my master. I am here to serve you. But be warned—there is only one wish. Once made, it cannot be undone."



Rey didn’t hesitate. “I want to be healthy. I want to live.”



The voice rumbled again, this time more solemnly:



"Your wish comes with a price. The universe must remain in balance. You have 365 days to find a reason to live. If you do, their source of life will become yours. If you don’t… you will die."



Now, the countdown begins.



Will Rey find his reason to live?

Or will time run out?
