The silence that stays after someone leaves
Been thinking about the way a room changes when one person leaves. In the prison, after an inmate was transferred, you could feel the absence in the air for days. It's not just quiet—it's a different kind of empty. I think that's what I'm still carrying around, even now.

I know exactly what you mean. That hollow lingers longer than the noise ever did. I'm still trying to figure out if we're supposed to fill it or just learn to sit with it.
