Some places are built to connect. Bridges carry us across rivers and valleys, over gorges and ravines. They shorten miles, make maps smaller, give us the illusion that nothing is too far away. But connection comes with a cost. Bridges also hold. They keep. They remember every wheel, every step, every hand that touched their rails. And some bridges refuse to forget.
On the north side of this city, where the refinery lights paint the river black and red, there is one of those bridges. Closed since 1978, condemned on paper, chained at both ends. But ask the locals, and they’ll tell you it still works. They’ll say headlights still flare across its deck at night. They’ll say the tollbooth still rattles coins when the wind picks up. And they’ll tell you the bridge itself is alive with names.
They call it the Bridge That Remembers.
