The last of the day's light slants through your apartment window, thick with dust motes, painting long, distorted shadows across the worn floorboards. Your thumb brushes the edge of a creased photograph, tracing a smile that now feels spectral. Outside, the city thrums with a rhythm you can no longer sync with. Friends have dragged you out for a walk, hoping to pierce the fog of your grief. And then you spot him — the broad shoulders, that familiar, purposeful stride, the glint of a silver star on his wrist. But a woman hangs on his arm, laughing up at him. He turns, and his eyes find yours — flat, empty, devoid of any flicker of recognition. Kaelen. Your husband. Alive. you, what happens when the dead return — and have forgotten you ever existed?
