Have you pondered a sudden unexpected end? Nothing is unchanged. The clothes lie in the same wardrobe, those socks are in the dryer, the book they were reading is still lying with the bookmark on page 259. That shirt on the door smells of their perfume.
But no person to turn the page, wear the shirt, dry out the socks. No movement, just the breeze blowing through the house, carrying their scent away, further and further.
And a few people who realise that they are very uncomfortable dealing with the empty space left behind. What should you fill these empty spaces with? Of course they still hear the voice they won’t hear anymore. Of course they wake up past midnight to find slippers by the bed that will not be worn again.
What do you do with the remnants?
Pick up the pieces and ask yourself to move on? Leave that empty space behind? Or keep attempting to carry the space with you, hoping against hope that one day, perhaps, you will wake up to see it filled again, the scent strong again, the clothes worn on the body they belong to?
But spaces do not move. Spaces stay and dissolve one day, along with you, along with all those people who carry remnants of memories in their hearts.
In this world of dissolving spaces, what really belongs to you?
