"I have not felt so happy in a long time in my life. My days were all merging into each other like shades of grey merge into black on a canvas and my life was but a fake copy of Jackson Pollock's Autumn Rhythm. I had stopped wondering. I had stopped wandering. I had forgotten that there was a life to be lived outside my routine. I had forgotten that getting out of bed can ever be easy. I had forgotten how much I loved this city when it rained and I had completely forgotten to stop and look at the trees changing colors at the beginning and end of the weather. I had compartmentalized my life into tiny to-do lists that were never fulfilled and I had caged my life into expectations that were not mine"

Elliot's partner was his whole world, but after Allan's death, his ghost haunts Elliot's dreams. Everyone tells Elliot to move on, but he isn't sure he can. ***** It's been a year since the love of Elliot's life, Allan, passed away. Everyone thinks he should have recovered after that much time, but Allan still haunts Elliot every night. He struggles to maintain relationships with his family, and despite a coworkers interest he can't summon up the courage to date. Elliot is living for the past, because to live for the present means he'll have to live with a hole in his heart. But the question Elliot has to face chases him through his monotonous days: is mourning Allan with everything he has truly living? [[word count: 40,000-50,000 words]]
