It starts as a soft hum—barely audible, like someone breathing through a closed door.
Then the strings creep in: slow, off-key, like they’re being played underwater. A piano follows, each note too perfect, too cold, like a machine imitating grief.
Underneath it all, whispers—not words, just the shape of them. But the longer you listen, the more they sound like your name.
Halfway through, the melody shifts key in a way that shouldn’t be possible. Like reality just bent.
Then silence.
But it never really stops. It stays with you—growing louder in the quiet, reshaping itself in your head.
And soon… you’ll find yourself humming it.
