Remnants
A guy stopped me as I was sashaying my way down the stairs after Bodyjam.
“Hey, do you remember me?” He asked.
I turned around and sensed some familiarity in his smile, but said, “Erm.. not really. You are?”
“Oh, we met in Mandi-Manda some time back.” He said softly.
“Oh okies. I haven’t been in awhile.” I adjusted my backpack strap and started my descent down the stairs slowly again.
“It’s OK, maybe I’ll see you there again sometimes?” He pushed further.
“Nah, I’ve retired from the scene.” Turned around before waiting for the sentence to finish and left.
••
I have lived the past few years wondering if I’ll ever find the courage to remove myself from this diseased obsession. As I pushed open the glass door, I turned back and gave this guy, the remnants of my past, a wide, cheeky smile before the warm evening sunlight hit my face that was right now bathed in a seemingly surreal sense of total emancipation.
