The Weight of Silence

You ever feel like you're talking to someone who knows more about you than you know about yourself? Because that's exactly what happened when he called my late-night radio show. His voice was rough around the edges, but there was something about it—something that made me want to keep listening, even though I knew better. I've spent years perfecting the art of keeping people at arm's length, avoiding messy emotions and heartbreak. But this guy, this stranger, made me question everything with just a few carefully chosen words. And now? Now I can't shake the feeling that I've just opened a door I'm not ready to walk through. But I'm done with the games. The past I've been running from is catching up to me fast, and the one thing I know for sure is that this mystery caller knows a lot more than he's letting on. But the more I hear from him, the more I wonder: do I even want to know the truth? Or is it better to stay in the dark?
