An Empty Chair for Hope

Prompt
Every Christmas, we set an extra plate. Not for tradition. For hope. My younger brother left when he was 19. One suitcase, one angry letter, and twelve years of silence. Last December, I finally took the plate away. Folded the napkin. Pushed the chair against the wall. My mom watched quietly, then whispered: "Put it back tomorrow, anak. Just in case he remembers how to come home." Some hearts never stop leaving an empty chair, even when they know the door might stay closed forever.
