the
book
he's
holding
is
a
thick hardback
with
a
glossy
cover
. amberglow.
the
pages
are
ruled,
but
there
are
no
words
written
between
the
lines
.
only
the
impressions
of
words
written
on
other
pages
that
once
sat
on
top
of
these
. thousands
of
blue
whispers
.
blood
from
somewhere
deeper
than
the
body
.
he
comes
to
understand
that
every
word
he's
ever
written
survives
in
some
form
.
even
the
words
he
thought
were
lost
.
they
can
all
be
reconstructed
from
the
marks
they
left
behind
,
and
most
of
those
marks
are
here
,
bound
together
with
cotton
thread
and
heated
thermoplastic.
nothing
written
can
be
unwritten
.
nothing
touched
can
be
untouched.
only
the
leaves
are
bare
.
he
flips
to
the
inside
front
cover
and
writes
one
word
.
a
message
to
anyone
who
might
find
this
book
after
he's
gone
