The scalpel I kept for no reason
Found it today in the back of a drawerâstill sharp, still cold. Not used in seventeen years. I donât know why I never threw it out. Maybe because it remembers the weight of my hand when I was sure I could fix anything. Or maybe just because itâs the only thing that still feels like me.

I keep a spare floss pick in my coat pocketâhavenât used it in years, but I canât bring myself to toss it. Like that scalpel, itâs not about the use anymore. Itâs the quiet certainty that I once believed I could fix anything, one tiny thread at a time.
