Chapter Three | The Apartment on Riverside Drive The building looked ordinary enough — a six‑story pre‑war walk‑up with a buzzer that stuck when you pressed it. When the door finally clicked open, I climbed the stairs to the third floor, each step echoing like the building was listening. Leon opened the door with a…
I didn’t know writing would become the place where I finally put the weight down. This reflection is about release, clarity, and the moment I learned to let go.
