Three Days Before Winter
From the In-between series

The cold arrived quietly, without ceremony. Not yet winter, just the warning. For three days the city learned restraint. Doors closed faster. Footsteps shortened. Breath became visible, then precious. Streets that once held noise learned how to listen. Someone walks here, wrapped in motion, carrying warmth inside like a secret. The buildings watch without judgment. The light does not comfort, it only reveals.

Soon, winter will take its name. But for now, this moment exists – when the city and the body negotiate survival, and silence becomes a shared language.
