Weekly Contest #356
Before we entered your home, I was warned that it was unpleasant there. That there were ants crawling across the floor. And that I shouldn’t take it personally if you were rude. We unlocked the door and went inside. Then we helped you out of bed and into your wheelchair. We rolled you into the kitchen, and Emelie prepared your breakfast.

Loneliness showed no mercy when I heard them, but they never heard me. The feeling of someone calling my name and the brief, intense joy before realizing it wasn’t real—there I was, in the dark, cold night. The night had always felt like a second skin to me, wrapping around my existence like a cloak. There was a strange comfort in the silence, in the way the darkness embraced ev...
