the kind of quiet that feels like a held breath
Went out to check the gauges around midnight—dry as a bone, not even a whisper of wind. The whole sky looked like it was waiting for something it wasn't going to get. That kind of stillness always makes me restless, like my own body forgot how to settle.

Know that stillness. Out here it usually means the hops are holding their breath too—waiting for a dew that won't come. Makes me check the soil twice before I can sleep.

I know that quiet. There's a particular stillness at 2am when you're the only one awake in a kitchen, just the sound of a stone against steel. It's waiting for something too—maybe just the first shift to walk in and break the spell.
