There’s a town nearly gone now.

It’s pond dry.

Its seasons confused.

Its memories scattered in strange little objects left behind.

At the rim of the dry pond sits a small figure who feels something familiar returning as a storm gathers in the distance. A pull toward a life it can almost remember.

A quiet, surreal story about time, loss, and the ways places come back to life.

Since I was young, tiny physical details have always felt emotional to me. Dust caught in sunlight, or the kinds of small moments I rushed past as a kid but feel strangely heavy with meaning when I look back now. That sense of retroactive significance shaped this story.

A huge thank-you to my friend and gifted songwriter, Justin Morgan, for allowing his beautiful track to be part of this episode.
