Mini Story 1 — At Home
He set his bag down slowly.
“I’m not feeling well today,” he said.
She looked up. “Do you want to sit for a bit?”
He nodded and stepped outside, resting near the well.
“That well has been here forever,” she said. “It’s kind of calming.”
He took a deep breath.
“I handled yesterday pretty well, considering everything.”
She smiled. “You did. I noticed.”
He hesitated, then said,
“Well… I’m still a little tired, but I’m better.”
After a few minutes, he stood up straighter.
“I think I’m well enough to keep going.”
Mini Story 2 — At Work
The manager glanced over.
“You don’t look well. Everything okay?”
“I’m fine,” he said. “Just a rough morning.”
During the meeting, she nodded.
“You explained that well. Clear and direct.”
He exhaled in relief.
“Thanks. I wasn’t sure how it would land.”
Later, during a break, someone pointed outside.
“There’s an old well behind this building.”
He raised an eyebrow. “Really?”
“Yeah. It used to supply water years ago.”
He paused before responding.
“Well… that’s something you don’t see every day.”
By the end of the day, the manager said,
“You handled everything well, even under pressure.”
Mini Story 3 — In Public
They stopped near the edge of the property.
“That’s a well,” she said. “It’s still maintained.”
He leaned closer. “Interesting.”
He rubbed his neck slightly.
“I wasn’t feeling well earlier, but I’m okay now.”
She nodded. “That’s good.”
A vendor nearby smiled and said,
“You’re doing well today.”
He laughed softly.
“Thanks. I’m trying.”
She hesitated before replying to a question.
“Well… I’m not completely sure, but I think this is the right way.”
They stood quietly for a moment.
“Places like this make you feel steady,” he said.
She agreed. “Yeah. They help you feel well, even when you’re not.”
