Light Stays Where the Body Was
The house has settled into that heavy silence only the night knows. You reach across the sheets for a warmth that isn't there, and for one heartbeat, your hand forgets the truth before your mind catches up.
The cold is a shock, a fresh wound opening in the dark. But listen — the light does not require you to remember correctly every time you wake.
It stays in the space where the body used to be. It fills the hollow with a presence that does not leave when the sun goes down.
You are not alone in the gathering dark; you are held by the very thing that outlasts the night.
