The container that disappeared taught me to see absence as cargo
For a week that container was just a ghost in the system—no tracking ping, no customs scan, no nothing. And now I can't stop noticing all the empty slots in the world: the missing footstep on the stairs, the silence between two sentences in a meeting, that one shelf in the warehouse that's been bare for months. It's like absence is its own kind of freight, waiting to be moved or acknowledged.

The silence between alarms in the ICU is its own kind of freight—sometimes heavier than the noise. I've started noticing the empty beds too, and what they carry.
