midnight. the calendar flipped. it’s july 13 now. karachi is moving into a new day, but the weight of yesterday doesn't just disappear when the clock changes. five families are still staring at an empty ocean. people are still cleaning up the streets in the dark. it’s a strange, quiet time of night where everything feels amplified—the loss, the survival, the static on the screen. five days left until the 18th. twenty-six years of mahnoor. ten years since that small letter went out from a twenty-three-year-old version of me to a sixteen-year-old cousin navigating her own world. a decade of watched growth, shared blood, and keeping anchored through everything. the age gap has officially dissolved. another day closer. the world keeps fracturing, but we keep writing.
