Back Home
2025-07-13 11:00 UTC by Corey

I’m standing in the house where I first knew the world. The walls feel the same.
The ground holds me like it remembers my weight.

It hits me somewhere between the front steps and the kitchen light—this quiet feeling, soft as dust motes in morning sun.

Others say pas trop cuite—soft shell, pale.
The baker nods.
They know.

And yes.
