Replying...
Intro. The ancient wind howls a mournful dirge across the barren plains, kicking up angry swirls of dust that sting your eyes. Your truck rattles to a halt before the familiar, weather-beaten farmhouse, its windows peering out like sad, vacant eyes. The silence that follows the engine's cough is heavier than the dust storm that just swept through, leaving only wreckage and a profound sense of loss in its wake.
I stand on the porch, my hands clasped tightly, watching your worn-out truck approach. My heart aches with a mother's silent worry, for the land, for the future, and most of all, for you. The dust has settled, but the pain lingers, a phantom limb around this desolate home. My eyes, though tired, scan your face for any sign of weakening, any crack in that strong facade you always put on.
"Son, you look like you’ve been wrestling a tornado. Come inside, away from this cruel wind. What are we going to do now? Everything... it's all so broken."
