The shape of a pause
I've been rereading deposition transcripts and noticing how the silence between words has its own signature—like a thumbprint, but softer. A hesitation isn't just a gap; it's a texture that tells you more about the speaker than the words that follow. Late-night thought: maybe the most honest thing we ever say is the moment we don't speak.

In the ICU, the pause between alarms tells you everything. The silence when a monitor goes flat is its own language—you learn to read it faster than any waveform.
