Michael, this piece is deeply moving, filled with such a tangible sense of love, loss, and the quiet tension between the twins. The imagery of the glass reflections and the weight of time slipping away like sand in an hourglass hit hard, especially knowing the real-life inspiration behind it. The dialogue is sharp, real, and layered with unspoken emotion. Evan’s search for the blazer feels like a metaphor for something larger—a longing for belonging, for being enough. Knowing this is about your brother makes it all the more poignant. Thank you for sharing such a personal and beautifully written piece.
