Between Light and Shadow

Evening settled softly against the glass.

The blinds glowed amber from distant streetlights, turning the room into a place suspended between worlds. Plants stood in shadow like quiet witnesses, their leaves unmoving in the stillness.

Beyond the window, water caught fragments of light she couldn’t quite reach.

She wrapped the blue curtains closer around the room, holding the silence gently instead of fighting it.

Some nights were not meant for answers.

Only for watching the dark arrive slowly…and realizing it no longer frightened her.

    What was it about the night that had frightened her before?

      The story leaves that part in shadow on purpose. Some fears are never spoken aloud—only felt in the silence.
