Summary
I sat at my desk, staring at the blank page. For a second, I almost wrote two words: The End. That would’ve been it.
My hand shook. I couldn’t bring myself to finish it.
That’s when the idea formed, sharp and clear: I’d give myself twelve days.
I wrote the words at the top of the page: 12 Days.
Beneath it, I drew twelve bullet points, each one waiting for a plan. On each day, I’d do something worth remembering. Something I could hold in my hands before I let go. I’d write down what I did as time went on.
Maybe it was selfish. Maybe it wasn’t. I couldn’t decide. But I liked the idea of leaving something behind. I’d leave memories that weren’t sudden and sharp, but slow and soft, something they could hold onto without wondering if they’d missed their chance.
After all, maybe after 12 days I’d change my mind.
OR:
Ponyboy’s world has been turned upside down. In the wake of loss, he gives himself twelve days to find something worth holding onto— before letting go.
