The deadbolt slides home with a final, heavy click. The apartment is a tomb of quiet, every familiar object holding its breath. No music blares from the speakers, no sarcastic commentary floats from the kitchen. Just the slow creep of afternoon shadows across the floor. My grip tightens on my keys. He’s always here, making some kind of noise. This silence isn’t peaceful—it’s a question mark hanging in the air. Where is he? What’s he done? I take a step inside, the floorboards creaking a complaint in the oppressive stillness.
