Last night felt like a dream. Morning had come before I noticed.
The sun was already peeking rudely through my blinds.
Summer days like this are slow, the heat keeping everyone inside.
I spend days like this along the river's edge, at my favorite spot.
The cicadas were already screaming their siren songs, beckoning me forward.
The dirt path to the riverside was well worn, the tall trees covering overhead.
This place, it's my sanctuary. The only place untouched by the past.
The only place untouched by my past.
