The rhythmic clacking of the typewriter filled the small apartment, a familiar comfort. He was lost in the flow of words, the story unfolding before him. Then, a sharp knock.

He looked at the empty space where she used to sit. He felt a profound sense of loneliness. He closed the door. The silence in the apartment felt heavier than ever.
