The morning light streamed through the window, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. Liam sat at the kitchen table, savoring his coffee. The quiet hum of the refrigerator filled the air as he glanced at the newspaper. He was in no rush; the day stretched before him, full of promise. He was looking forward to a walk in the park.

He walked past the old oak, his mind filled with memories of climbing its branches as a kid. He hadn't been in the park for a while. It had been years since he'd last walked that path.

The space was empty. The tree was absent. He put a hand on his chest, feeling a tight band around it. He turned away, unable to meet the emptiness with his eyes.
