…I closed my eyes. The first thing I heard was the hum of the refrigerator, a sound I had not noticed in years. Then the scratch of chalk on the floor. Then the breath of my children, synchronized, like a tide. The portal had not taken me anywhere. It had given me back the world, distorted but whole. I opened my eyes. The kitchen was the same. The kettle was still hissing. The children were still drawing. But now I could see the threads—the lines of connection between the plate and the floor, between the floor and the sky, between the sky and the memory of a melody I had forgotten. I was the center. I was the law. And the silence was not an absence. It was a note, waiting to be played.
