Sinister: Losing Keys is better than Losing Days or Friends

[Sunny set]

I was standing outside on a rainy grey day with large yellow leaves falling 
all around me. Small pink leaves already lay on the ground. Rain was 
beginning to soak through my coat and onto my skin. I checked my pockets a 
couple of times before slamming the front door and committing myself to 
leaving the house.

I often find myself checking and rechecking my pockets and purse. Partly 
because I have tendency to be a bit absent minded but mostly because I have 
a constant a feeling that I’m missing something.

The other day I was sitting on the train. Sat opposite me was a strange 
looking man who I had a feeling could be a little bit like me. I was looking 
out the window at a grey city. Watching as blood red burnt across the sky 
seeping into the darkest and greyest of clouds. I tried to hold the image in 
my head. Scared to forget the tiniest detail of the scene. Beautifully 
poignant in it’s fragility.
And wondered about the thousands of people’s lives which I was passing. All 
these people’s lives which I was missing out on.

Maybe that’s why I check my pockets and purse religiously. Or maybe its just 
because I’m very forgetful.

Take Care

PS Does anyone have spare London ticket they want to give/sell to me?
