A first step

“Take care.” The words hung in my mind as the reverberation of the door quickly dissipated.

The tube and the train were far emptier than normal. As I sat letting the carriages transport me to a new life phrases from the music at the end of The Matrix and Greengrass’s Bourne drifted through my head.

On arriving home the last shards of sun beaming from a clear blue sky still cast their light. A smile, then a grin and a short laugh expressed my emotion more than words could.

The weekend is first but then day one will arrive.
