I never meant to stay here.

I came to pack up her things, to close the door on a life that no longer exists. But when I step into the apartment, I feel her everywhere.

Her laughter echoes in the silence.

Her perfume still lingers.

I swear I see her in the corners of the room, her voice calling my name.

But she’s gone.

She has to be.

Except, sometimes... I’m not so sure.

As I move through the space we once shared, the line between grief and specter starts to blur. And the more I linger, the more I realize: I haven’t left either.

We’re both still here. Stuck in this place where time doesn’t matter, where memory becomes everything.

I can’t move on.

Not when she’s still here with me.

But I don’t know how much longer I can stay.

What Stays Behind is a short story with themes of grief and death.
