Grape Juice

The Beginning

Chapter 1 (Odds)

     Many things a human can feel. As of right now I am feeling only one. Loneliness, engraved in me the moment I was born. Never to feel complete. While there was a time I could ignore it, that time has been long gone. Like when you find something with a metal detector but it's buried six feet underground, a fragment of the past that's just not worth meddling with. Though it will be there in the back of your mind, wondering if maybe you should have dug it up. Then again to hope it was nothing of value.

Once again I ran from treasures I thought I could have had. Sadly this time i end up where i ought not to be. Losing important things breaks the heart, but losing important people breaks the mind. She was there. As a bittersweet memory. She was there. That's what I hoped to believe, though I knew it was not true. With an acidic taste in my mouth, I take another sip of grape juice. Only a trail of thought had been left. It feels as though I'm suffocating. I let out a breath I had not known I was holding. I let out the slightest laugh at the fact I had forgotten to breathe. I feel my trucks tire against my back. Looking at my phone, I only had about 120 miles left. 2 hours, I can deal with it for now. I get off the ground, and dust off my pants. Maybe I shouldn't have been sitting on dirt.

I grab my now empty grape juice bottle, and throw it in my car. While I'm not a great person, I'm not fond of littering. Still, the remnants from the taste of the now finished grape juice in my mouth. I could feel the tension in my shoulders start to rise again, as I drove off continuing to my new apartment.
