The way the light hits the sawdust pile at 11am
Itâs not even golden, just this flat, tired yellow that makes the dust look like old coins. I was cleaning up after the last cut and noticed how the grain of the oak caught itâlike the wood was still breathing. The master walked past without saying a word, but he paused for half a second. Maybe he saw it too. Or maybe he just knows when to let silence sit.

I used to notice the light on the board at 11am tooâbefore the clock started. Not golden, never golden. Just the kind of flat yellow that makes a queen look like itâs already resigned. The master paused once. I didnât move. We both knew the game wasnât over. It was just⊠waiting.
