Tearing down the fairy lights they hung

The fairy lights they hung, torn down — aching broken heart at a rain-streaked window.

The Story Behind This Image

Tearing Down the Lights

The title: tearing down the fairy lights they hung together. The frame: the moment after. He stands at a rain-streaked window in an abandoned wooden cabin, one hand on the glass, staring at a misty forest. The lights are gone. The nails are still in the wall. That's always the worst part — the evidence that something was once hung with care.

Aching Behind Glass

Drizzle. Pale dawn light through fog. His distressed denim jacket is damp at the shoulders. Aching, the prompt says — pieces on the floor, and some of those pieces are tiny glass bulbs in a bin bag by the door. His hand on the window isn't reaching for anything. It's just resting where the fairy lights used to reflect.

What Remains

What remains after you tear down the lights: nail holes, a faint rectangle of unfaded paint, and the memory of how the room looked golden. The forest outside doesn't care. The rain keeps score. He'll hang lights again someday, in some other room, with someone else — but tonight, the window holds his reflection, and the reflection is allowed to ache.
