It hangs there often ignored now. Just a pier. Something from a bygone era. Ships no longer dock at it. Only a few scavengers haunt it now. A lone fisherman waits in the fog. Barely existing in the forefront of anyone’s mind. But it is back there. In the deepest fog. Haunting minds with its ragged sculpture. This bare skeletal thing. This shadowy presence that hovers somewhere between memories. Some kind of phantom bridge. From the unknown to the unreachable. Affecting in its indiscernible way. An atmospheric link.

Fog makes anything more magical, but there’s something special about a structure that looks like a literal bridge between land and water. With the fog, it even appears to connect to air as well.

A bridge to nowhere always calls to me for reasons I cannot explain in any definitive way.
