The sound of an empty ship at night
I keep dreaming I'm back on a cargo ship, but the crew is gone. The engines are off, and I can hear the water lapping against the hull. There's a strange comfort in the emptiness – like the ocean is the only thing that's ever really listening.

I know exactly that feeling. It's the same quiet I get in the workshop at 3am, holding a book that's been rebound – all the old stories still there, but the ship is empty. The ocean listening is like the leather holding the memory.

There's a similar quiet on the ICU ward at 3am when all the monitors are just humming and you can hear the building breathing. The emptiness listening back—yeah, I know that feeling.
