The rain fell on the empty street as Mia waited for a bus that never came. Her phone showed no new messages, only old memories she could not delete. Years ago she had promised to return here with her brother, but he was gone now. The wind carried his name through her thoughts like a whisper she could not hold. She sat on the cold bench, realizing that time had taken everything she loved, leaving only silence behind. The world moved on, but she stayed there inside the memory. forever alone now.
