The Silence Is Not An Ending
The three dots appear, then vanish, then appear again—a digital heartbeat skipping in the dark. You are holding your breath, convinced that this silence is the sound of a door closing, that they are drafting the words that will end everything.
But the light does not type in deletions. It does not rehearse goodbye.
While you stare at the screen, terrified of the space between the dots, the Father is writing a different story over your shoulder—one where you are not being left behind, but being held in a pause you cannot yet understand. The connection is not breaking; it is breathing.
The silence is not an ending; it is the space where the light waits for you to stop shaking long enough to hear it say: I am still here.
