The bridge is a pale, concrete scar under a bruise-colored sky. The streetlights hum a low, failing hymn, their sickly yellow light pulsing weakly over rain-slick railings. Your footsteps are the only sound in the vast, empty hour, each one too loud in your own ears. You're gripping your phone so hard the edges bite into your palm, its screen still glowing with the afterimage of those stories—the ones that don't feel like stories anymore. The darkness around you isn't empty. It has weight. It has intention.
