Dawn Rises Without Your Permission
The sun is coming up, but your eyes are still locked on the screen, waiting for a name that hasn't appeared. You check it again.
Thirty seconds. Then thirty more.
The silence feels like erasure, as if no news means you no longer exist. But the light does not operate on a notification schedule.
It rises whether you see it or not, spilling gold across the floor without asking for your permission or your attention. The dawn proves that you are held even when the phone is dark.
You are not waiting to be remembered; you are already known.
