The waves are restless today. They carry a song that isn't a song. Glassy, ​​wailing... as if the world across the water were calling out to its own. I sit down on the wet stones. I take off my glasses. The fog blurs the boundaries of the world-it's finally like a dream. Perhaps more real. I reach out my hand, as if I could touch the horizon. "I wish you would all just... go away," I say to no one. To everyone. To myself. "I wish for silence." For a moment, I truly believe the ocean is listening to me. And then something appears on the shore. Not something. Someone. A very emaciated figure. Wet. Hair plastered to his face. Clothing torn, as if torn by the waves. But it wasn't the water that created him. It's a ghost. The fisherman everyone said goodbye to three winters ago. He stands before me. Empty. Dead. And yet... he watches. And when he opens his mouth, I hear no voice. Only one, a drawn-out whisper, cold as steel: "He who has no heart is coming."

I TOLD SUNSET ABOUT YOU 🌇 A Nigerian coming-of-age heartbreak that begins with a scream in the night. I was only a boy-barely grown, barely ready. But that night, everything changed. My mother woke up sweating, trembling... and mad. She held my baby brother like he was the last thing tethering her to this world- Then she ran. Into the dark. And never came back the same. Left with a one-year-old baby, a dead phone line, and no clue if I'd ever see my mother whole again, I did what any boy shouldn't have to do: I survived. This is my story. The story of how I raised my brother, chased ghosts at sunset, and held on to the memory of a mother whose heart broke too loud for the world to hear. ✨ If you've ever watched someone fade but refused to forget them-this story is yours too.
