The coffee was finished while still hot. The steam rising from the cup still hung in the air, but the person at the table had long since risen. He was not actually late for where he was going. There was no real rush either. Yet everything had felt a little too fast. The taste of the coffee was no longer clearly remembered. The rain outside the window had gone unnoticed. The faces of people passing by the table had not been recognized. The coffee had been drunk, but it had not truly been experien

If you live in a house long enough, you begin to stop hearing the sound of the wall clock. In the first days, you notice its ticking at night; it stands out in the silence, echoing from the corners of the room. Then days pass. The same sound continues at the same rhythm, but your mind erases it. The clock has not stopped. You have simply stopped listening. Perhaps many things in human life are the same.

Sometimes there is a file sitting in a corner of the computer for years. Its name is half-written. It contains a few paragraphs. The first sentence is written, the rest has been thought through but never completed. It is not deleted. It is not discarded. It just remains there. Occasionally it is opened, glanced at for a few seconds, then closed again. The person thinks they have forgotten the file exists, but they have not. Because some things stay in memory precisely because they were never fin

The evening crowd slowly filled the café. The tables were nearly full. In one corner, groups of friends talked loudly; at another table, people laughed as they showed each other their phone screens. Waiters moved between the tables with trays in hand, disappearing and reappearing. Everything was as it should be. Just another ordinary evening in the city. But there was one person sitting by the window; their coffee had long gone cold, and their eyes occasionally drifted to the street outside. The
