I’m stuck. It’s been months—or years, I’ve stopped counting— living inside a broken record. Every day is a script performed by actors who don't know they're on stage.
At first, I thought I’d died. I figured this was a custom-made Hell designed to bore my soul into non-existence. Now? I’m just numb. Hope is a muscle that eventually dissipates if you don't use it.
I walked toward the cafe this morning, my feet hitting the same cracks in the sidewalk they always do. I didn't look at the man in the blue tie; I knew he was about to sneeze. I didn't look at the cyclist; I knew his chain would click three times before he turned the corner.
But then I saw her.
She was sitting at the corner table, sketching with a focused intensity that didn't belong in this hollow world. A condensation-beaded iced coffee sat by her elbow. My heart did a strange, painful stutter. Yesterday—and every "yesterday" before it—she was at the diner three blocks away, staring at a menu she never ordered from.
The loop was broken.
I stopped dead, my shadow falling over her table. I tried to tell myself I was finally losing my mind, that my brain was hallucinating a change just to survive. Then, the impossible happened.
She stopped sketching. She didn't follow the script. She looked up, her eyes locking onto mine with a terrifying spark of awareness, and she raised a hand in a casual, knowing wave.
