He stretched, the muscles in his back finally relaxing after a long run. The salty air of the Pacific invigorated him, a perfect end to the week. He reached for his phone, scrolling through social media. A familiar house caught his eye. 14 Willow Creek Lane. His old house.

The listing had professional photos, the landscaping manicured, the interior updated. A strange, serene sensation spread through him as he looked at the pictures. He ran his hand through his hair, a quiet chuckle escaping him.

The feeling of ownership was long gone. His life was full of new experiences, new adventures. He was planning a trip to the mountains. The house was just a place, a memory. He set his phone down, deciding to go for a swim. He had a lot to look forward to.
