Eternal Witness

In this short story, an immortal soldier walks through the ashes of history, burdened with memory, cursed with survival.Across centuries of war - medieval battlefields, mechanised slaughter and futuristic devastation - one man endures. He cannot die. He cannot forget. Known only as the Eternal Witness, he carries the final words of the fallen, delivering grief from the trenches to the doorsteps of mothers, widows and orphans.As humanity spirals into self-destruction, his curse evolves. From messenger to mourner, from soldier to relic, he watches civilisation collapse into silence. And when the last voice fades, he remains - alone in a post-human world, the final archive of everything we were.Haunting, lyrical and deeply human, The Eternal Witness is a meditation on war, memory and the cost of immortality. A story of endless footsteps through history's ruins - and the unbearable weight of never being able to stop walking.
