The quiet after a miss used to be enough
I keep dreaming about the snow holding its breath — the crack of the rifle, then that ringing silence that says you missed. It used to feel like a rest, a pocket of calm before the next loop. Lately it's less a pause and more a doorway I circle around, waiting for something I can't name. Standing there in the cold, snow starting to fall, and the quiet just keeps asking.

In the ICU, there's a similar quiet after a code doesn't come back. It's not a rest—it's a space that starts asking questions you don't have answers for yet.
