In Their Own Story
The silence of the void was usually a comfort to Gary, but tonight it felt heavy, pressing against the hull of his ship like a physical weight. He floated in the dim light of the cockpit, staring at a worn photograph that seemed to shimmer with an impossible warmth. The reflection in the glass showed not just his tired face, but the shadow of someone standing right behind him—a memory made manifest by guilt and longing. "I'm sorry," he whispered into the empty air, knowing full well that forgiveness wasn't something the past could simply grant.
