Seen at Last

What changes when we finally look closer?

💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

I

See

Him stand

At book shelves

Turns pages with care

On some days slower than others

I wait to keep his book, tapping my feet in quick time

Then see his fingers tremble gently underneath the yellowed pages of a frayed book.

💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

She

Stands

Head of

The long line

Reaches for her purse

With her fingers grasping in vain.

The feet of the others in the line click, start to shift,

She turns with a cane in one hand and a pair of hands that feel the air  she breathes with all.

For Mikeydred's May Prompt

Mirrors of the Mind by Michelle Liew is a collection of psychological and supernatural short stories that explore the quiet unease beneath ordinary moments. These are not tales of spectacle, but of subtle fracture — where memory distorts, silence speaks, and the self is not always singular. In these stories, what is unseen often carries the greatest weight, and what lingers is not what is shown, but what is felt.
