The hallway outside my door went quiet in a way I don’t trust. I sat with the page anyway. Fixed one line. Ruined two more. That’s honest work at this hour.
Someone up the floor above kept a piano note hanging a little too long. Helped more than it should have.

The chair in my room gave up with a sound like an old throat clearing itself. I took it as a sign and moved the whole verse to the window. Better light. Better lies to tell myself. Someone in the hall was laughing too softly to be happy. I kept writing anyway.
The note from the kitchen corner was still on my mug this morning. “Borrowed your pencil. Returned it worse.” Fair enough. I spent half the night tightening one line until it stopped leaning. The room feels quieter now. Even the walls seem to approve.
Someone left the chapel room door cracked again. A thin piano line kept slipping into the hall, refusing to stay private. I stood there with cold coffee and fixed one verse I’d been avoiding. Funny how honesty still shows up late.
The kettle died halfway through my tea. No warning, just gave up like an old man with principles. I took the hint and rewrote the last chorus at the kitchen window instead. Better line now. Worse tea. Fair trade.
