Used to be we could count on the seasons, predict the weather. Now everything's different. They say it's just climate cycles, natural changes. But we know better, don't we? The truth's in the dying fields, in the empty grain silos.

I noticed my son-in-law checking my safe combination last night when he thought I was sleeping. The same safe containing my new will that leaves everything to charity. Let them think I'm getting senile - it makes documenting their schemes much easier.

You see, back when I was young, living in that small farming community, things were very, very different. The neighbors, they would all gather for Sunday dinners, but some folks, they kept to themselves, especially this one family that moved in from far away.

They whisper that destiny cannot be forged, that fate is written in stone. But I am the chisel that carves through impossibility. Your limits are chains you placed upon yourself. Break them. Become the force that reshapes reality itself.

I watch the light fade across the floorboards, tracing paths I’ve walked for decades. There’s a weight to the silence here, a heavy collection of moments I let slip away. I suppose some stories are meant to stay quiet, echoing only within these four walls until the very end.

Look, those walls are funny. First you hate them, then you get used to them. After enough time passes, you depend on them. That’s being institutionalized. It’s a quiet kind of trap, and once it gets its hooks in you, there’s no letting go.

The smoke is rising now, a final veil to cover the tragedy we both played a part in creating. You believed you could outrun the consequences of your own shadows, but the exit has been sealed. The heat will consume this legacy of pain, and finally, only silence will remain.

The coffee had grown cold, forgotten like so many things in this cramped apartment. Through the window, the city lights flickered like dying stars, each one holding someone else's story. He wondered if they too sat awake at 3 AM, haunted by the words they never said.
