The Grain of the Wood: The Texture of Absence

The house is never quiet. There is the hum of the refrigerator, a scratch in the wall, the memory of a sound that no longer exists. After a loss that is never named, a narrator is left alone in the shared geography of a home, sifting through the objects, sounds, and silences left behind. Through a fractured lens of memory, the narrative is built from the debris of a life: a stain on the ceiling, a key that fits an unknown lock, the ghost of a thumbprint on a windowpane. It is a story told in the grain of the wood and the taste of stale air—an intimate, unreliable account of grief not as an event, but as a space to be inhabited. The Hum of the House is a raw, sensory-heavy exploration of the echoes that remain when a person is gone, and the small, maddening details that constitute a haunting.
