The Velvet Coat

Think of a physical object from your childhood that felt like a shield, perhaps a heavy wool blanket or a soft, worn-out sweater. Describe the specific weight of it against your skin and the way the air felt in the room when you finally took it off.

Recall how it felt to outgrow that protection, leaving a hollow space where a younger version of you still lives.
