The Empty Side of the Bed
The Empty Side of the Bed It’s been one hundred and thirty-seven nights since you left, Amir. I know because I’ve written to you every single one. I still can’t stop counting—days, nights, breaths—everything feels like a measurement of the time I’ve spent learning to exist without you.

Inattentional Blindness
Kristen was an eight-year-old child. He was sitting on a park bench, sad. There was worry, fear and depression on his face. It was evening walk time. The park was full of people. People used to come near him, look at him and quietly move on. A couple also passed by. The couple saw that there were posters about the child in the park. The woman passed near the child.

The Waiting Room
The Waiting Room The waiting room smells like wet paper and lemon sanitizer. I’ve been here before, though the walls are a different color now — pale green instead of beige — as if someone decided recovery needed freshness. It doesn’t help. Everything in here feels used, like it’s been waiting longer than any of us.

The Smell They Pretend Not to Notice:
The Familiar Smell of Other People’s Choices If you grew up with chain-smoking parents like I did, you know that smell. It lived in your hair, your clothes, and the upholstery of your entire house. The odds were high that I’d become a smoker too—but I never did. Not because of that smell, but because of something I saw in fourth grade.
