Every year on this day, I always wake up feeling gloomy. Of course, I knew the reason why, but I don't understand why I let it affect me so much.

The good part about this year was that it fell on a weekend. Although, my boss knew that if it fell on a weekday, I wouldn't make it to work. However, he never knew the real reason. I gave him a cock-and-bull story of how my fiancée died in an accident on this day and I had to visit her in the cemetery.

In previous years, I stayed at home drowning my sorrows in sad movies and junk food. This year, I decided to put on my big boy pants and go hunting for my next victim. Although, this was still after my dose of sad movies and junk food.

But before I went hunting, I decided pay the woman that made my childhood bearable a visit. It had been a while since I had gone to visit her. So, I got into my car and drove to the neighborhood I grew up in.

The neighborhood had definitely changed from the last time I was there. It was worse than before. The buildings looked ready to collapse, yet people still lived in them.

People gave me strange looks as I passed by them, probably wondering what a decent-looking man was doing in their environs.

No familiar face jumped at me, so, I didn't bother greeting anyone. Most likely, the people I knew growing up were out going about their daily activities.

The stairs leading to different floors was surprisingly not in as much a deplorable state as the whole building. Although, the stair rails had long fallen off.

I cautiously climbed the stairs to the all familiar third floor. When I got to the beginning of the corridor that led to different apartments, I stopped and took in a deep breath. The sight brought back painful memories and my heart clenched. But, I forged ahead.
