Forgotten Dreams
The house creaked with an unsettling silence, a stark contrast to the joyous chaos that once filled it. Dust motes danced in the pale slivers of sunlight filtering through the blinds, illuminating the empty space where his favorite chair used to be. The worn leather, once a testament to countless evenings spent reading and sharing stories, now gaped like a missing tooth, a constant reminder of the gaping hole left in their lives.
