He sat there, soaking in the cold front blasting over him, sitting on a swing that use to bring him so much joy as a kid. Now he tainted that innocent adoration with cigarette smoke and a forty. A new kind of pain tore at his heart as he felt himself making another mistake and not stopping himself. The momentum was already in motion, and he was no immovable object. Twenty-three years in this town, that's how long he had lived here. Sixteen years of strolling past this swing, being reminded with every step of every memory he had worked to build in this town. Now it was all gone, ripped him so violently. He couldn't stop the thoughts from swarming. All his friends, all the safe places where going to be gone soon. A thunderbolt pierced the silence in the playground. It lit up the sky so brightly that it felt blinding. Lightning had struck a few meters from him. The thunder roared so loud it shook him to his core. The young man stood up, alarmed by this sudden reminder of his mortality. A reminder of the present. He gripped the bottle tightly as he ruminated on this new addition of fear. Fear turned to anger when fused with the lingering nostalgia of what would no longer be his. He tossed the bottle with all his might and screamed into the sky. [hr] Your turn :) [youtube]https://youtu.be/9XKGSCVmIKY?si=dDWzosfPeZjtQvr1[/youtube]
