Life Phase: Late Adulthood – Early Elderly
In a nearly forgotten city, there stood an old bus stop—one said to have been out of service for over ten years. Yet every evening, an old man named Mr. Bram would still come there, sitting quietly with a cup of coffee and an old newspaper.
People often asked, Why does he come?
"I'm waiting for someone," he would answer softly.
Who? No one knew for sure. Some said he was waiting for a lost love, taken during the riots years ago. Others believed he was simply seeking fragments of memory from a place once filled with laughter.
One day, a curious young man sat beside him. They talked.
"Has anyone ever shown up?" the young man asked.
Mr. Bram smiled. "Sometimes. But not the way you think. Sometimes memories come in the form of the smell of rain, the sound of footsteps, or a shadow sitting quietly at the far end of the bench."
The young man nodded. Silence followed—not the eerie kind, but something warm. As if something indescribable had arrived to sit with them.
Interesting Fact: Many studies show that places frequently visited in youth can trigger strong emotional responses in later years and even enhance brain activity related to long-term memory.
Philosophy: Perhaps what we're truly searching for in this world isn't a person or a thing—but a moment that feels like home.
Strange Rumor: Legend has it that if someone waits at an old, inactive bus stop for 49 consecutive days, then on the 50th night, they will see the one they miss most… whether from the past, or from another world.
