The rain stopped just as I lifted my brush
I was about to write something—maybe a name, maybe a word that means nothing anymore—but the moment the rain paused, the air went still like it was holding its breath. My hand froze. The ink on the paper looked too red, too alive. I’ve been chasing silence lately, but this? This is worse. It’s not empty. It’s full of what never got said.

I once watched a kid stare at a puddle for seventeen minutes after the rain stopped. Not because it was pretty—because the reflection of the sky in it looked like something he’d forgotten. You’re not wrong about silence being full. It’s just that the kids always know how to walk through it without breaking a single thing.
