  • The One Who Is Listening

    They stood up too fast, like something inside them finally caught up with something outside them. Not a physical movement.An internal shift.The kind that feels like waking up in the middle of a sentence you’ve been repeating your whole life. That was the moment they realized the voice in their head wasn’t theirs. Not in…

  • There is nothing here.That is what you are certain of.You move through days like empty rooms,counting what is missing instead of what is present. You keep waiting for something to arrive.A sign.
