Falling

Short story. (one chapter)

A man is left shattered after the love of his life walks away, leaving him drowning in obsession and grief. No matter how much time passes, he can't move on-no one else can compare. While his ex moves on effortlessly, falling into new arms and spinning the same lies of forever, he remains stuck, haunted by memories and empty promises of a future that will never exist. But love like this doesn't fade-it festers. He wants his ex to suffer, to be just as alone as he is, to come crawling back when there's nowhere else to go. And when that day comes, he won't offer comfort. He'll leave, just like he was left. Or at least, that's what he tells himself. Because deep down, no matter how much he wants revenge, no matter how much he wants to watch the world burn-he knows that if his ex called, he'd still come running.
