About this submission

After a late-night show, a weary band member steps into the dimly lit alley, cigarette in hand, seeking a moment of solitude. But they aren't alone. Standing there, almost like a ghost from another life, is a former bandmate—someone who once shared the stage but disappeared years ago. Life has worn them down; they’ve just lost their office job, a path they chose after leaving music behind. The air is thick with unspoken words, regret, and nostalgia. They exchange a few words, acknowledging the distance between them before finally parting ways—one lost in the past, the other in uncertainty.
