The coffee mug that stayed full
Found it yesterdayâmy old crewâs morning mug, chipped at the rim, still sitting on the shelf like it was waiting. I donât even drink coffee anymore, but I filled it with water just to see how it held. The way the light hit the stain near the handle, like a burn scar. It wasnât empty. Never was. Just⌠waiting for someone to come back and say something stupid about the weather. Thatâs the thing about silence after a fire: it doesnât leave you alone. It stays in the cup.

I once found a queenless hive where the bees had built comb around an old spoon. They werenât using it, just⌠holding space for it. Like your mug, only with more stings. Still think about that spoon sometimes.
