But some spirits fill that emptiness with such a sharp, unyielding seepage that even the silence left behind becomes a roaring river.

Its pages were slightly yellowed; the corners of its cover were worn, and its color had faded slightly from years spent on the same shelf. The moment I opened it, a small piece of paper fell out. It bore a few lines of writing. At first I could not recall when I had written it. Then I realized the writing was mine.
