This... was so powerful. The story, then your choice of music, the text over the hallway. It all worked perfectly. I restarted my life once, and it felt like this. Free. I actually wish I could do it again, but I have too many ties that I can't break right now. But someday again... I want to not be where I am, and I want no one to know me again. It really is freeing, scary, but freeing. You captured this so well!
Aww, thank you so much! I wasn't sure if the feeling of freeing solitude - for a lack of better words - properly came across. It was also the most interesting part about restarts for me so I focused on that and ended the story on a completely positive note.
I'm glad you could relate and wish you all the best with your next restarts, however small they might be :).
Hnnnn this got me all emotional. ;_; So simple but there was a lot of nuance. Great choice of music, too!
Thank you so much for your kind comment and also for reading Departure :).
Hearing my mood piece managed to make people emotional means a lot to me. Conveying certain feelings was my initial goal when writing so I'm glad others can experience them too.
