The Light Sitting in the Static
The house is quiet now, and you are trying to remember the sound of their laugh. You reach for it in the dark, but all you find is static.
It feels like losing them all over again, a second grief inside the first. But listen — the silence you are hearing is not empty.
It is the space where the light lives. The darkness has not overcome it, and it cannot overcome the memory that shaped your heart.
That love did not vanish when the sound faded. It is still here, humming beneath the noise you cannot quite catch.
You are not alone in this watch; the light is sitting right beside you in the static.
