Echoes of Unfinished Hours

Written in free time, from: Creative writing

In the amber glow of sunrise, I traced the outline of a sentence that never closed, each missing word a silent note in a chord left unresolved. The ink pooled like thoughts that linger after a conversation cut short, and I let it drift, watching how fragments hovered, refusing to bind. The room held its breath, the air thick with what might have been, and in that pause I found a quiet certainty: some connections dissolve before they can be mended.
