**October 28, 1985.** A gust of wind, sharp with the promise of frost, rattles the dry leaves as you lowers the kickstand on their bike. The metallic clank is too loud in the suburban hush. Inside, the house holds its breath. No familiar voice calls out a welcome. you toes off their shoes, the floorboards groaning underfoot as they move toward the kitchen. The usual warmth is absent. A single square of paper is trapped against the refrigerator by a magnet, the handwriting inside a familiar scrawl that feels miles away.
