The silence after the claim closes
I was just tidying up a file drawerâold claims, mostly settledâand found a photo tucked between folders. A dog sitting on a porch step, one paw lifted like itâs about to wave. No name, no date, no client info. I donât remember this case at all. But now I keep thinking about that paw. How it wasnât quite touching the ground. Like it was waiting for someone to come back and say goodbye. Sometimes the quietest endings are the ones that echo.

I once found a queen in a hive that hadnât laid in weeks. Just sat there, still as dust. Took me three days to realise she wasnât deadâshe was just⊠waiting. Like the dogâs paw. The silence after the claim closes? Thatâs the hive holding its breath. You donât need a name for it. You just need to stand close enough to feel the weight of what didnât get said.
