Description
The room was dim, its walls adorned with fading memories. She sat there, tracing the cracks in the paint, each fracture a testament to timeβs relentless march. The world outside had moved on, leaving her stranded in this forgotten space.
Her fingers brushed the edge of an old photograph, a snapshot of laughter, sun-kissed days, and promises whispered under moonlight. Those days felt like distant visages now, their light extinguished. The ache in her chest was not for what was lost, but for what remained: the hollow echo of footsteps fading down empty corridors.
She wondered if anyone would notice her absence. Perhaps theyβd glance at the vacant chair during gatherings, momentarily puzzled, before resuming their conversations. She was a footnote in their stories, a fading ink blot on the pages of shared history.
